Description Christopher Schwan 2011-10-11 15:35:11 UTC
Please add the following ebuild. It is a dependency for dev-tex/biber (bug #340353).


Reproducible: Always

Text-BibTeX ebuild
Comment 2 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-10-17 13:32:53 UTC
The Text-BibTeX package bundles a version of dev-libs/btparse.
Comment 3 Christopher Schwan 2011-10-17 13:47:12 UTC
OK, I will try to get rid of that.
Comment 4 Christopher Schwan 2011-10-18 08:22:01 UTC
First of all, thanks for adding all the biber-related perl modules into the overlay!

Unfortunately, it is not straightforward to remove btparse. There are a number of trivial (ushort renamed to btshort, inclusion of non-dist binaries) as well as non-trivial changes (e.g. Text-BibTeX extends btparse with UTF-8 functionality) which makes it hard to get rid of it.

Therefore, I would like to know first if it is reasonable to do that instead of just marking btparse as a blocker in Text-BibTeX. This is not the perfect way, but as far as I understand btparse (whose author also started Text-BibTeX) is discontinued and Text-BibTeX should be understood as a successor:

From Text-BibTeX's CHANGES:

Release 0.40_2 - 15 February, 2010
----------------------------------
* merged btparse library into Text::BibTeX code. I am sorry for all
  other languages that might be using this library. For them my
  suggestion is that they make Text::BibTeX as a dependency.

updated ebuild for version 0.61
Comment 6 Christopher Schwan 2011-12-24 11:25:10 UTC
The updated ebuild will be required for the latest version of biber and is also compatible with previous versions of it.

Tex-BibTeX version 0.62

added ebuild of version 0.62 which is a depency of biber 0.99
Comment 8 Mira Ressel 2012-07-30 18:23:51 UTC
biber-1.1 now depends on >=Text-BibTeX-0.64. The ebuild for 0.62 can be reused for that.

Text-BibTeX-0.66 ebuild

Simple version bump to 0.66 for biber-1.5.

There appear to be a few QA issues with this pacakge:

Not sure about the MYMETA.yml file. But the strlen/strcpy problems seem to be caused by the fact that the author of the tests omitted a simple #include <string.h>. A patch is easy to write.
