Here is the ebuild for flashrom, a program used to flash bios (by linuxbios). I didn't find any ebuild for it yet so i made one.It installs the latest svn version. flashrom-scm.ebuild ------------------- # Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: $ # # flashrom SVN ebuild # inherit subversion eutils DESCRIPTION="Flash rom chips" HOMEPAGE="http://linuxbios.org" LICENSE="GPL" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="~x86" IUSE="" SRC_URI="" ESVN_REPO_URI="svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/util/${PN}" RDEPEND="sys-apps/pciutils sys-libs/zlib" S=${WORKDIR}/${PN} pkg_setup() { ewarn ewarn "WARNING: This is a live SVN build!!!" ewarn } src_install() { # not using emake, because it makes sandbox violations dosbin flashrom doman *.8 } pkg_postinst() { einfo einfo "Flashrom is now installed." einfo }
Please don't paste ebuilds inline. Also, pkg_{setup,postinst} is plain redundant.
Created attachment 134274 [details] sys-fs/flashrom-scm.ebuild I cleaned the ebuild and here it is as attachement. Sory to paste the code in the post above.
Created attachment 135388 [details] flashrom-9999.ebuild Changed the ebuild a bit, now it compiles (at least here ;). BTW whats the -scm in the previous ebuild name?
(In reply to comment #3) > > BTW whats the -scm in the previous ebuild name? > Sorry, i just gave my ebuilds. I use paludis and it has nice additional -scm ending that can be used for "live ebuilds" (the ones that get sources directly from svn, git, cvs ...) Thanks for correcting this. I forgot portage doesn't have this.
I've tested it on amd64 and flashrom -r <image> works. Should it be enough to keyword it as ~amd64?
Created attachment 137300 [details] fixed ebuild added ~amd64 keyword fixed homepage cleaned useless comment
still not good enough for the portage tree?
Some issues need to be resolved: - Improve the description to be a little more.. descriptive (yet below 80 chars) - quote instance(s) of ${S} - dodoc README - instead of dobin'ing, fix the Makefile. for moving this into the tree: - make an actual snapshot of the repository and use that.

There's a 1.0 release on the way... http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bios/35465/match=flashrom+1.0 Best regards Peter K

I have some already waiting (based on debian tarballs), but the official seem better.
Created attachment 179403 [details] flashrom-9999.ebuild - new web page, new repository svn
Created attachment 179441 [details] flashrom-9999.ebuild
Created attachment 179442 [details, diff] Makefile.patch
Created attachment 190324 [details, diff] Updated patch for the Makefile Corrected for changes in the upstream version and for linking
Created attachment 190325 [details, diff] Corrected ebuild Fixed unmatched quotes. By the way, is EAPI=2 really necessary here? I do not see any need, actually EAPI=0 should seemingly suffice.
Created attachment 190387 [details] Updated Readded ~x86 keyword and fixed description.
Taking this. sys-apps/ sounds more appropriate to me
flashrom-0.9.0 was released yesterday. This is the first actual tarball release. It is not called 1.0 yet mostly because some of the short argument letters will probably change and swap around. sys-apps/flashrom-0.9.0 added to tree, no live ebuild considered for tree anymore with actual releases happening.
Actually sys-boot might be better. Suggested by idl0r. The program raincoat is in there, it does the same thing, but was written for xbox-linux so only supports a few flash chips.
The ebuild which went to the portage has a typo in the homepage URL. The final slash shoudn't be there.
Maybe raincoat is in the wrong category instead? One package isn't that much of a metric. Fixed homepage, whoops, thanks
