Problem: Isdn4k-utils depend on dev-lang/tk-8.3 which lead to the dependency of X11 neither if X11 or -X11 is set in the USE VARIABLE. Inspection: Obviously X11 is not critical to isdn4-utils.This is proven due to the original "make menuconfig" and during operation. X11 is only used for X11 isdn monitoring tools The ebuild file reveal a static dependency to dev-lang/tk-8.3 as well as the packaged .config file explicitly states CONFIG_BUILDX11=y Solution: Due to more flexible dependencies in the respective ebuild file the usage of X11 can be avoided.
Created attachment 4956 [details, diff] A patch against the ebuild which handels the dependencies more flexible It that been tested to emerge the isdn4k-utils with and without the X flag in the USE variable.
Please apply this patch as it is impossible to create a small (without X, Tcl/Tk etc) isdn router/firewall installation without it. ISDN is very important in europe/UK where broadband is still unavailable to many people/businesses.
Created attachment 5803 [details, diff] Updated patch Hello, I tried att. 4956 to find out there was a syntax error in it. Fixed that and missing IUSE="X" in this attachment. Compiles without problems (and X) now. A /etc/init.d/ script for isdn4linux would be nice, too. As I get along with my installation, I will post my improvements here. PS: From what I understand of ebuilds so far, there seems to be support for a "mysql" USE option in this ebuild, but the ebuild actually does nothing in order to have mysql support compiled in (like altering the source configuration). Am I right on this?
Created attachment 5852 [details] isdn4k-utils-3.2_p1-r1-20021121.tar.gz Hello, I surfed bugs.gentoo.org for a while and found various submissions regarding isdn4linux. I merged them with my own improvements, where applicable. The result is this attachment. I marked it as ~x86, so please submit it to the portage tree ASAP so other people can test it - IMHO it is already better than the old ebuild, so there's nothing to lose ... ;-) Changes: - cleaned up deps (proper X deps now) - compiles more tools now (for several ISDN cards) - (very alpha) runlevel scripts included (greedily taken from other people :-) - env variable I4L_CC can be set at compilation time in order to compile isdnlog with quirks for different countries enabled (if you know of a better way to do this, let me know ...) - excluded vbox (so I can make another ebuild which pulls in tcl) - proper TODO list (have a look at the ebuild) I'm willing to maintain this ebuild, if you want me to. In this case it would be nice to get CVS access, so I can submit changes faster. (Seems like it takes a long time for people to respond at bugs.gentoo.org ;-)
Created attachment 5868 [details] isdn4k-utils-3.2_p1-r1-20021122.tar.gz Hi, made a lot of improvements to the scripts. Here is the updated version (fully replaces my earlier posting). Greetings, Johannes
Hello. This ebuild is now on CVS as "-r2" rather than "-r1" (with a few little fixes here and there.) Johannes Ball
Hello. This ebuild is now on CVS as "-r2" rather than "-r1" (with a few little fixes here and there.) Johannes Ballé, you did a *great* job. I am going to keep this bug open and assign it to Seemant so that he can talk to you about potentially becoming a developer and helping us (at a minimum) maintain the isdn4k-utils stuff.
Johannes, please e-mail me
