Bug 70162 – gpsd-2.0.3 (New Package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description stephan 2004-11-05 06:48:53 UTC]

Hi,

this is an Ebuild for the new,clean and active developed version of the gpsd. It was "re-launched" in August 2004.

Couple of things:

1) This probably produces files collisions with gpsdrive, so this should block gpsdrive, and vice versa.

2) Have you actually tested on all the architectures listed in KEYWORDS?

(/me is really gonna have to break out his garmin again soon)

[Comment 4 stephan 2004-11-05 07:17:31 UTC]

1) It shouldn't collide with gpsdrive as gpdrive installs gpds in /usr/bin
Anyway gpsdrive it selfs uses gpsd, so I would like to replace the old one that comes with gpsdrive. Is there a clean (in means of porage) way to do this ?

2) Oh sorry, copied it and missed to delete everything beside ~x86 ;o)

[Comment 5 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2004-11-05 07:29:50 UTC]

1) Where does this install gpsd? Regardless, you'll have two gpsd binaries lying around, and this inevitably will cause confusion. There was an email to the gpsdrive list a while ago about this new gpsd, and as far as i recall, the goal was to make gpsdrive work with this, but i'm not sure how *well* it works with it at this point. I'd really prefer not to cause potential bugs by rushing this process. Much better to let the gpsdrive folks adopt this when they're ready. Until then, I'd prefer not to have to deal with how these two packages interact.

2) lesson learned. (:

1) so you suggest to modify the Ebuild to block with gpsdrive, who can I do this ?

2) when it's done, how can I override it, so I can install gpsdrive and gpsd ?

Sorry, this is not possible. Only official Gentoo devs have commit access to
CVS. If you do not have access to Gentoo CVS, you can't really maintain an ebuild.

Raphael: If you have a couple of packages you want to maintain and think you are
skilled enough in ebuild-matters you could volunteer to become a developer.

[Comment 11 stephan 2005-07-02 01:47:32 UTC]

I think you could close this bug since there is already 
sci-geosciences/gpsd-2.25 ebuild in portage, which obviously was more 
successfully to get there ;o)

Thanks. Closing as FIXED.
