http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-submit.xml doesn't say what to do if i need
to attach multiple files, so i tarred them.. hope this is ok.


this is my first ever ebuild :)

Never attach tarballs when submitting ebuilds. Reopen once you have attached a
plaintext ebuild.

added plaintext files rather than tarball.. probably more than necessary, but 
ebuild howto isn't very detailed

Err, my mistake. No manifest, no metadata.xml, no changelog, no digest needed
next time. Just the ebuild (and init scripts plus patches if needed) is enough
next time. ;) Also when attaching, the mime type should be set to text/plain.

ok thanks, now i know what to do for my next ebuild :D

hope this one is useful to someone (apart from me)

updated /etc/init.d/dancer-services

i had use ircd rather than the more specific use dancer-ircd

[Comment 14 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-09-13 19:36:10 UTC]

Please fix the following and reopen:

* http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/redundant.txt (src_unpack)
* Is autogen.sh an autotools thing? If so, you're missing some DEPENDs.
* You should use use_enable.
* http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/quoting.txt
* Use ebeep from eutils.eclass
* I really don't like the config editing thing...
* http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/emake.txt (for installing)
* mkdir has a -p option...

[Comment 18 Triffid Hunter 2005-09-25 02:13:09 UTC]

I think the compile time config editing thing is quite silly, annoying and 
inconvenient too, but I'm not skilled enough in c to rewrite the code so that a 
more conventional/convenient configuration method can be used.

If anyone has any better solutions to this than asking users to stop mid-install 
and edit a config file, feel free to suggest them. Many of the services' 
availability flags could be easily turned into use flags, but there are other 
options in that file which require textual or numerical values...

The autogen thing is used because the distributed tarball doesn't have autogen 
stuff done, which, according to autogen.sh itself, it should. If you'd like me 
to run it and repackage the tarball, just say so :)

Upstream URL gone (and dancer-ircd has been dropped from tree as well)
