Hi all, |
2 |
|

I've been working to get phpBB (along with webapp.eclass & webapp-config) to |
4 |
work in prefixed environment. I've succeeded in getting those things |
5 |
working and deployed in prefix, but during that process, I discovered |
6 |
problems with scripts or commands that use portage within an ebuild or |
7 |
eclass. |
8 |
|
9 |
In my case, webapp.eclass uses webapp-config, and it imports portage. But |
10 |
portage sets 'root' from ROOT environment variable and we, in turn, append |
11 |
EPREFIX to it. This does not work within an eclass or ebuild because ROOT |
12 |
already has the EPREFIX so webapp-config fails. I also noticed that |
13 |
has_version() eventually calls portageq which has the same problem. |
14 |
|
15 |
Has anyone else ran into this scenario? |
16 |
|
17 |
In any case, I hacked portage.py to reset root to '/' if ROOT = EPREFIX |
18 |
|
19 |
Looks like this: |
20 |
if os.environ.has_key("ROOT"): |
21 |
root=os.environ["ROOT"] |
22 |
+ |
23 |
+ ## cchan - HACK for when portage is being called within an |
24 |
ebuild/eclass |
25 |
+ if root == portage_const.EPREFIX: root="/" |
26 |
+ |
27 |
if not len(root): |
28 |
root="/" |
29 |
elif root[-1]!="/": |
30 |
|
31 |
Thoughts from others? |
32 |
|
33 |
BTW, I would be happy to submit my work on webapp.eclass, webapp-config, and |
34 |
other ebuilds. |
