What Ive seen in other ebuilds is a file with the default options |
| 2 |
that just gets sent to the "interactive setup script via stin. (ie no need |
| 3 |
for expect) |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
take a look at /usr/portage/app-games/freecraft/freecraft-1.18.ebuild |
| 6 |
and /usr/portage/app-games/freecraft/files/setup.input |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
cat ${FILESDIR}/setup.input | ./setup || die "setup failed" |
| 9 |

nothing offical, just my observations |

I'm writing an ebuild for ZoneMinder, and I have a few problems/queries.. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The program is a bunch of php and a few cgi apps. After configuring, |
| 23 |
the package asks you to run a perl script which interactively asks you |
| 24 |
for initial configuration, then updates the .php files with this info. |
| 25 |
'make install' then installs the .php files into your document root, |
| 26 |
(and the cgi into your cgi-bin dir). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Now, I don't want to break the non-interactivity of portage, but I can't |
| 29 |
just leave an 'einfo' message to the user after install, asking them to |
| 30 |
run the perl script, because this must be done before install. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So, do I either: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
* Use expect to answer the perl script's questions with some sensible |
| 35 |
defaults, then leave a message to the user on how to change these |
| 36 |
defaults after install, (in which case, should I add expect to the |
| 37 |
DEPEND line?) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
* Re-package the software entirely, (there is a compiled part and a |
| 40 |
non-compiled php part.. maybe separate the php part out). I'm kinda |
| 41 |
loathed to do this, as it seems like unnecessary maintenance. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
* Modify the perl script to automatically set certain defaults. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Additionally, what do I do about the location of apache, and the |
| 47 |
user/group to set the php files as? :) |
| 48 |
I noticed the recent eclass submission, but I'm assuming I can't use |
| 49 |
that just yet, so /home/httpd/htdocs and apache:apache ? |
