Hi. I have an ebuild for app-accessibility/brltty-6.2.ebuild -- I |
| 2 |
copied it from the 6.1, but the install fails, it compiles OK. The |
| 3 |
ebuild is attached for your convenience. |
| 4 |
|

|
| 6 |
Here is what I get and what the developer told me. |

| 11 |

[ -z "" ] || set -- "${@}" --prefix ""; \ |
| 19 |
"/usr/bin/python3.8" ./setup.py "${@}" |

* ERROR: app-accessibility/brltty-6.2::local_ebuilds failed (install |
| 21 |
phase): |
| 22 |
* !!! newins: Autostart/Udev/rules does not exist |
| 23 |
* |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Here is what the developer said: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
> * !!! newins: Autostart/Udev/rules does not exist |
| 28 |
|

That file has been renamed to device.rules. That's because there are |
| 30 |
now two |
| 31 |
ruells files - device.rules and uinput.rules. They should both be |
| 32 |
installed. |
| 33 |
Why doesn't gentoo just use brltty's make install-udev? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
udev_newrules Autostart/Udev/rules 70-brltty.rules |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
It should be: Autostart/Udev/device.rules |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Note that there's another file now that also needs to be installed: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Autopstart/Udev/uinput.rules newinitd |
| 42 |
"${FILESDIR}"/brltty.rc brltty |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
>systemd_dounit Autostart/Systemd/brltty@.service |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Note that there's a new systemd instance unit that also needs to be |
| 47 |
installed: |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Autostart/Systemd/brltty-device@.service |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
>systemd_dotmpfilesd "${FILESDIR}/${PN}.tmpfiles.conf" |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
I'm not sure of the precise syntax, here, but this file should be |
| 54 |
installed as |
| 55 |
brltty.conf (i.e. named after the package) when it's installed into |
| 56 |
the |
| 57 |
tmpfiles.d/ subdirectory. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
There's also another systemd file, sysusers, which should be named |
| 60 |
brltty.conf |
| 61 |
(again named after the package) when it's installed into the |
| 62 |
sysusers.d/ |
| 63 |
subdirectory. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
>I wonder what to change to get this working? |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Explained above. What I'm wondering, however, is why this is being |
| 68 |
done outside |
| 69 |
of the make file that brltty already comes to do all of this. Why not |
| 70 |
just do: |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
make install-systemd install-udev |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
I should also make sure to mention that there are two more systemd |
| 75 |
units - |
| 76 |
brltty.path and brltty@.path - that also need to be installed. |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
Really, we provide make files that do all of these things. How can any |
| 79 |
distribution ever get it right when it wants to try to get it all |
| 80 |
right its own |
| 81 |
way? Code duplication is never good! |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
Please bear with me -- although I have used gentoo for years, I have |
| 85 |
not done much with writing ebuilds. |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. |
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
And, Merry Christmas to all on this list, you folks have been a great |
| 90 |
help over the years. |
