Bumping the ebuild seems to work.
rox-lib-1.9.18 was just released.
rox-lib-2.0.0 released.
Created attachment 58349 [details] rox-lib-2.0.0.ebuild just renamed and light modified (:
Rox-Lib's homepage (http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/ROX-Lib) lists the following dependencies: >=dev-lang/python-2.2.0 >=rox-base/rox-2.1.0 >=dev-python/pygtk-1.99.13 This ebuild should probably reflect these...

I can
I can´t see why we have three open bugs on rox-lib upgrade. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78309 ***

The DEPEND should be RDEPEND since there are no compile/build-time dependencies at all for this python library. I also agree with the deps in comment #4. Am attaching a new ebuild.

Created attachment 63628 [details] rox-lib-2.0.1.ebuild version bump to 2.0.1. ebuild attached.
rox 2.3 has been released and could be put in ~x86. Stable ROX Lib is now 2.0.2.
Created attachment 65855 [details] rox-lib-2.0.2.ebuild here is a version bump ebuild for 2.0.2. it's ~arch for all.
can't these be added to the portage tree? what's the hold up?
dunno. desktop devs must be behind or have other priorities.
i think sergey must be lost in the siberian wilderness.
What's so ironic is you just need to rename the file. No programming required. And, you can see the blocks this bug causes. There's another so-called maintainer for rox, Heinrich Wendel <lanius@gentoo.org>, who I'll add to cc. Maybe he'll get something going here? I've offered to help prepare ebuilds, but was told I needed to become a developer. I don't want to be that. It takes too long and is beyond what I enjoy doing and am capable of. Rox is easy so I can do it well! LOL.
peter i am using my local portage tree to keep a lot of stuff more up-to-date than what the gentoo base portage offers. i mention that because there's no reason to let the lack of an ebuild in base portage stop you. place the current rox-lib ebuild above into /usr/local/portage/rox-base/rox-lib; make sure you have PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage in your /etc/make.conf; make sure you have rox-base/rox-lib ~x86 in /etc/portage/package.keywords and then: # cd /usr/local/portage/rox-base/rox-lib # ebuild rox-lib-2.0.2.ebuild digest # emerge -pv rox-lib and, if you like what you see: # emerge rox-lib
Is there a ROX Gentoo dev anymore?
I wanted the watchers here to know that I opened a thread on the gentoo-dev mail list to try to ascertain what's going on and why this and other related ROX ebuilds are not being reviewed and adopted by the maintainers. I did not get an answer. I did get a request to become a developer and then got even more flaming. All I and others wanted to do was to help. To alert the existing maintainers (who, btw are active in other projects still, not awol or out of gentoo), that new versions are out. This should not be such a problem or ardous task. So, the short answer to this long post is that there is no resolution to the rox issue. I tried bringing to the attention of the devs. I would recommend that interested ROX users simply continue to pull the ebuilds down from the bug reports or simply install ROX outside of gentoo altogether. That's what I plan to do. This notice will be referenced in bug #78309 (rox-clib) and bug #102228 (rox 2.3). Peter
Python modules aren't compiled. Need updated eclass
Created attachment 69036 [details] rox-lib-2.0.2.ebuild attached is a new ebuild for rox-lib 2.0.2 that will create the byte-compiled .pyc files and install them alongside the .py files where rox requires them. you must install the file, setup-2.0.2.py, into the rox-lib/files subdirectory of your portage overlay. this is the python way to create .pyc files -- using the distutils package. phil
Created attachment 69037 [details] files/setup-2.0.2.py install to rox-lib/files/setup-2.0.2.py of your portage overlay. required for the rox-lib-2.0.2.ebuild, in order to create .pyc byte-compiled modules alongside the .py modules.
Thank's, the ebuild works fine, rox videothumbnail needs rox-lib greater than 2.0 to work.
Created attachment 69096 [details] rox-lib-2.0.2.ebuild simplified slightly. just being anally retentive. i know the rox.eclass will eventually supplant this approach. phil

This is because there is no compiling for ROX-Lib. Just a dumb copy and merge. Being even more anal, here is a way to utilize an ebuild class to accomplish a similar result. Add: inherit python at the top, and change the src_install function as follows: src_install() { dodir /usr/lib/ cp -r ROX-Lib2/ ${D}/usr/lib/ python_mod_optimize ${D}/usr/lib/ROX-Lib2/ >/dev/null 2>&1 } the python_mod_optimize function will compile everything .py in all subdirs. Curiously, the similar module python_mod_compile does not recurse, it only compiles a file at a time. So, this will leave you with the pre-compiled files (.pyc)(and the optimized (.pyo) files. Ironically, it probably does not make any difference to rox or its applications since most of the python apps and modules are SO small. But, IMHO, it is the proper thing to do to compile the .py modules.
Created attachment 69170 [details] rox-lib-2.0.2.ebuild peter, i am in total agreement with your approach of using python_mod_optimize from the python eclass. that is clearly the best way to build those .pyc/.pyo modules. i am attaching a final version of the ebuild and obsoleting the prior one. i think we have beaten this horse to death now. agreed? phil
> i think we have beaten this horse to death now. agreed? phil Agreed. Now, to get all these rox files into the tree. Sergey wrote me and said he would get started this weekend. We will see. Thanks for your help.
rox-lib-2.0.2.ebuild is in CVS now! Thank you guys, and bug me if I forget to move it to stable after a couple of weeks :)
