Well, I've been plugging along happily on constructing an ebuild for zimbra. |
2 |
|
3 |
But because of a) their built-in hardwiring and b) ant-based build/install |
4 |
system, my ebuild is starting to get pretty big and complex. |
5 |
|
6 |
In order to keep my own thought patterns straight, I've isolated a lot of the |
7 |
code in src_compile and src_install to a number of different functions. |
8 |
|
9 |
But as the size of the ebuild continues to grow, I'm now starting to ask |
10 |
myself if, as it is currently going, the ebuild might not be accepted. |
11 |
|
12 |
So I guess I need to know: |
13 |
|
14 |
a) are there limits to the size and/or complexity of the ebuilds that are |
15 |
accepted into portage? |
16 |
|
17 |
b) If there are and I end up going beyond them, is there a recommended |
18 |
methodology for relocating some of the functionality? I mean, can I put code |
19 |
into scripts in the files directory and freely execute from there? |
20 |
|
21 |
Just wondering... |
