Bug 378843 – [Science overlay] omniORBpy version 3.6 ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mikael Morin 2011-08-11 22:03:30 UTC]

Hello, I'm trying to create an ebuild for omniORBpy: http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/

I'll attach the ebuild file that I managed to produce so far. 
However, there is a conflict with omniORB as both are installing the same file.


I've tried to remove the offending file in the pkg_preinst function, but
it doesn't seem to work, and I can't manage to log any message to the console to see what happens. 

Any help is appreciated. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Merge omniORB (anyway, omniORBpy depends on it) from the regular portage repository.
2.Merge omniORBpy using ebuild command.

Actual Results:  
$ ebuild ./omniORBpy-3.6.ebuild merge
[... bla bla ...]
 * Detected file collision(s):
 * 
 * 	/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/omniidl_be/__init__.py
 * 
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...
 * 
 * Press Ctrl-C to Stop
 * 
 * net-misc/omniORB-4.1.4-r1
 * 	/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/omniidl_be/__init__.py
 * 
 * Package 'net-misc/omniORBpy-3.6' NOT merged due to file collisions. If
 * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the
 * above message.

Expected Results:  
No file collision

Hey Mikael, 

Skimming through the ebuild you sent, I got to this line:
CONFLICTING_FILE="$(python_get_lib_dir)/site-packages/omniidl_be/__ini__.py"

If this is the ebuild you are testing, then I think you missed a 't' in the filename -> '__ini__.py' 

Regards,

Right, thank you for noticing the typo. 
Unfortunately, it doesn't work any better once fixed.
And I can't debug this if I don't get some basic loging working.

This ebuild works

The problem was that the conflict checking code is run before pkg_preinst.
Thus my pkg_preinst function removing the conflicting file was never run.

In the attached ebuild, the conflicting file is removed in the src_install function. There is no more conflict, and the package is installed without problem.

Looks like this is a duplicate of Bug 166738.
As I have made an ebuild for this, maybe this can be integrated into the science overlay?

Changing the summary:
From: "New ebuild: omniORBpy and conflicting files"
to "[Science overlay] omniORBpy version 3.6 ebuild"

In the science overlay. Closing.
