Bug 409991 – www-client/phantomjs-1.9.0 bundles a lot of system libs

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Julien Sanchez 2012-03-28 13:05:01 UTC]

phantomjs 1.5.0 is available. It supports X-less rendering.

Nevertheless, bumping does not seem straightforward to me. phantomjs 1.5.0 bundles its own qt version and depends on qt[qpa].

Of course, it fails to build if previous phantomjs 1.4.1 ebuild is used as is.

1.5.0 ebuild

well, we can't use the bundled QT, and apparently they've extended the bundled QT so the system one won't work, and it relies on a USE flag that is package.use.mask-ed atm, so this version is going nowhere fast ...

src is now a .zip
Doesn't look like 1.6.0 is any better:

How about a phantomjs-bin ? This is maintained upstream.

[Comment 4 Jamie Learmonth 2012-11-01 02:03:33 UTC]

Version 1.7 is out now. Because of the library bundling I still think it would make sense to move this package to phantomjs-bin .

Here are the soure URI's.

http://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.7.0-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
http://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.7.0-linux-i686.tar.bz2

vapier, would you consider maintaining this version?

[Comment 5 G. Gaydarov 2012-11-19 02:55:36 UTC]

PhantomJS 1.7 compiles and tests just fine on my system if I use the provided build.sh script (which uses the bundled QT). I've created the following ebuilds:
  phantomjs-1.7.0.ebuild
  phantomjs-1.7.9999.ebuild
  phantomjs-9999.ebuild
  phantomjs-bin-1.7.0.ebuild

These ebuilds work for me, but please double check them before using them. Any feedback would be appreciated. You can find everything here: https://github.com/gg7/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/www-client .

[Comment 6 Hans de Graaff 2013-04-29 06:30:04 UTC]

phantomjs 1.9.0 is in the tree now, so I guess this can be closed?

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2013-04-29 16:45:57 UTC]

Jason: you need to talk to maintainers before you go updating packages like this.  silently adding yourself to metadata.xml doesn't cut it.  i cleaned up a lot of beginner mistakes in the ebuild for you.

this version also heavily violates the bundled lib policy and ignores a lot of common USE flags

[Comment 8 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) 2017-09-21 08:16:06 UTC]

To confirm, I am following upstream working practices. I have untangled the git submodule madness and am using clean upstream tarballs, but for now this is as close as I will get. If we can patch the current 2.1.1 ebuid then I'm all for it, but let's do that in a new bug.
