Thanks Ryan. However, isn't that only part of the required file set? |
| 24 |
There are patches and other things generally needed to allow an ebuild |
| 25 |
actually install correctly. Where do I get those? For instance, when |
| 26 |
mythtv-0.18.1-r1was removed from portage I had to go set this up in my |
| 27 |
portage overlay: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
mark@lightning ~ $ ls -al /usr/local/portage/media-tv/mythtv/ |
| 30 |
total 24 |
| 31 |
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:27 . |
| 32 |
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 2 13:40 .. |
| 33 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 906 Jul 2 13:46 Manifest |
| 34 |
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:27 files |
| 35 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 mark users 5165 Jul 2 13:32 mythtv-0.18.1-r1.ebuild |
| 36 |
mark@lightning ~ $ ls -al /usr/local/portage/media-tv/mythtv/files/ |
| 37 |
total 20 |
| 38 |
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:27 . |
| 39 |
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:27 .. |
| 40 |

| 42 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 631 Jul 2 15:59 mythtv-0.18.1-x86_64-configure.patch |

When I set this up I couldn't find the files to download but |
| 46 |
fortunately had them on a local machine that hadn't been updated. |
| 47 |
Without the patch files the ebuild doesn't work. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
To float an idea, if portage was going to remove an ebuild from my |
| 50 |
system since the devs/maintainers aren't supporting it anymore, then |
| 51 |
instead of removing it why doesn't it just move it to my portage |
| 52 |
overlay directory so my system continues to build correctly? |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Just an idea. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Cheers, |
| 57 |
Mark |
