Bug 207741 – x11-plugins/gai-pager removal request

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 207749
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2008-01-27 19:40:17 UTC]

Pardon me, but - WTH?! Do NOT sed Makefiles in src_{compile,install} like this! It needs to be fixed properly in src_unpack and used unchanged later on.

src_compile() {
#       MY_CONF="--prefix=${D}/usr "
        econf ${MY_CONF} || die
        mv ${S}/Makefile ${S}/Makefile.orig
        sed s%"IMAGE_PATH = \"\\\\\"\$.PREFIX./"%"IMAGE_PATH = \"\\\\\"/usr/"% ${S}/Makefile.orig > ${S}/Makefile
        emake || die
}

src_install() {
        # small hack so the gnome picture gets installed in place
        mv ${S}/Makefile ${S}/Makefile.orig
        sed s%"GNOMEDIR = /usr"%"GNOMEDIR = ${D}/usr"% ${S}/Makefile.orig | \
        sed s%"PREFIX = /usr"%"PREFIX = ${D}/usr"% > ${S}/Makefile

Please, don't just add us right off the bat.  If the maintainer is unresponsive, or there is a disagreement about whether or not this is a QA issue, then please add us.

Thanks

OK, I fixed the ebuild - http://dev.gentooexperimental.org/~jakub/overlay/x11-plugins/gai-pager/

Even then, it doesn't compile with --as-needed, has strict-aliasing issues and crashes on saving preferences. Also causes some strange screen flicker occasionally. Considering Bug 207749, this whole stuff needs to die.

after checking up on the webpage i tend to agree.. this stuff is way out of date ..
i gotta look up the exact procedures though as I haven't actually completely removed an ebuild for a while .. ;)

ditto for treecleaner jakub.  add us if the maintainer is unresponsive and/or the bug is maintainer-needed and stagnating.  lordvan, usual procedure nowadays is to package.mask for a bit (30 days), then remove. enjoy. ;)

So, can we nuke this?
