Patchpack 2-5-16t is out, please use the link to the bz2 compressed file as from the next version on it will be the only available one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
******** Version 3.08 of Objective-Caml is required ********* As soon as ocaml-3.08 makes it into portage (hopefully without as much trouble as the last bumps have been, sorry for those earlier problems mattam :-\), the updated mldonkey ebuild will be ready.
I will add ocaml-3.08, package.mask'ed in the next few days, but that means another update with problems (probably less though). Still waiting for something like multilib in portage... i will post some requirements/glep soon on gentoo-dev.
Hello Just tried ocaml-3.08 and mldonkey with the "t" patch. What should i say. Its working in my 64 bit environment. Finally. :-) cheers Thomas
Created attachment 36763 [details] ocaml 3.08.0 ebuild For the brave, I wrote the ebuild for 2.5.16-r8 (spiralvoice's 16t patch applied to standard 2.5.16). Since it requires the fairly new ocaml 3.08.0, I wrote an ebuild for that too. I'm of the sort who prefers to write an ebuild than just install somethingn without portage... This is the ocaml 3.08.0 ebuild. copy it to /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/ocaml/
Created attachment 36764 [details] mldonkey 2.5.16-r8 (spiralvoice's 2.5.16t) And this is the mldonkey ebuild itself. copy to /usr/local/portage/net-p2p/mldonkey/ to generate the digests, enter these commands: ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-p2p/mldonkey/mldonkey-2.5.16-r8.ebuild digest ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/ocaml/ocaml-3.08.0.ebuild digest it'll download the files, and generate the digests. Now install as usual emerge -u net-p2p/mldonkey and it should upgrade ocaml all along
And just as a report, the whole thing works like a charm for me. I don't know how stable ocaml 3.08.0 is but since I don't use it for anything besides compiling mldonkey, and it does that flawlessly, I think it is ok. mldonkey 2.5.16t works just as fine with it. (thanks to spiralvoice btw) This whole thing is supposed to be a dirty hack for the folks who really want 2.5.16t right now. I don't know when portage will be updated, but since both the 16t and the ocaml 3.08.0 version are already weeks old, I figured I'd release it along with a quick manual for the more enthusiastic mldonkey users. I don't know if I will do more 2.5.21 or 2.5.22 updates, but if requested, I shall try and release them if possible.
in portage ;)
