Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Right now, a quick 'grep -l github.*tarball' shows that there are about |
| 4 |
147 ebuilds in portage using github snapshots. This evaluates to 83 |
| 5 |
different packages. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The problem with github is that it suffixes the tarballs with |
| 8 |
a complete git commit id. This means that the `S' variable |
| 9 |
in the ebuild needs to refer to a long hash changing randomly. Right |
| 10 |
now, the problem is handled in a number of ways: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
1) (from app-admin/rudy) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
S="${WORKDIR}/solutious-${PN}-*" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I'm surprised if that actually works. I'd say that seems not |
| 17 |
PMS-compliant but in fact PMS seems to almost not mention S. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2) (app-emacs/calfw and suggested solution for Sunrise) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
src_unpack() { |
| 22 |
unpack ${A} |
| 23 |
mv kiwanami-emacs-calfw-* ${P} || die |
| 24 |
} |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
3) (app-misc/bgrep) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
GITHUB_USER="tmbinc" |
| 29 |
GITHUB_HASH="49b098be9548d174023ad05c10f6af9d02b8e18e" |
| 30 |
MY_P="${GITHUB_USER}-${PN}-${GITHUB_HASH:0:7}" |
| 31 |
S="${WORKDIR}/${MY_P}" |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
4) (app-misc/tmux-mem-cpu-load) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
src_prepare() { |
| 36 |
cd "${WORKDIR}"/thewtex-${PN}-* |
| 37 |
S=$(pwd) |
| 38 |
} |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
What I'd like to do is creating a small github.eclass, encapsulating |
| 42 |
a common, nice way of handling the S issue. I guess the best solution |
| 43 |
would be to git with something like 2) above, with the eclass providing |
| 44 |
github_src_unpack() for EAPIs 2+. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Maybe the eclass could be extended to support other kinds of snapshots. |
| 47 |
I'm not sure if there aren't other services providing snapshots similar |
| 48 |
to github. |
