[solved] custom ebuild from GIT source

[Frautoincnam]

Solved by replacing https by git: EGIT_REPO_URI="git://git.code.sf.net/p/${PN}/rkh_code"

Hi,

I'm trying to create an ebuild for rkhunter.
But I have never done an ebuild with a GIT branch as source.
I have read a lot of things on the subject, but still I can't get it, so if someone can give me a little help please...

I can get git sources with:

Well, first of all, can you get to the URL https://git.code.sf.net/p/rkhunter/rkh_code in a browser? I can't at the moment.

OP already tried that. OP's output indicates that the correct branch name is picked, but git fails to retrieve it.

OP: what is the output of emerge --pretend --verbose dev-vcs/git?

[Frautoincnam]

In fact, it's all my fault. I made 2 mistakes, and that's what was causing the trouble.

1) I had "dev-vcs/git -curl" for optimization purposes, so no https with git, I had never made the connection between the two, and I had completely forgotten having done it. I had thought about looking at git's USEFLAGS, but I didn't spot the "-curl".

2) the test I was doing directly with git clone https://... I wasn't doing it on the same machine, but on one where git is compiled with +curl. So I couldn't blame git since it was working fine.

Obviously, the result seemed absurd to me, and without a solution.
My ebuild works perfectly with the https url

Sorry for the unnecessary noise.

That seems strange. As I read eclass/git-r3.eclass, it will always depend on dev-vcs/git[curl], so Portage should not have allowed you to try this with a USE=-curl git installed.

[Frautoincnam]

But it was the case, and this time, I'm sure of it
I had precisely: "dev-vcs/git -curl -iconv -perl -webdav" and this for several months, without any problem ever arising, until I wanted to do this ebuild with git source and https url.

ebuild(1) doesn't check dependencies, so PEBKAC.

[Frautoincnam]

PEBCAK was already admitted

What I'm saying is that it's not that the dependency is missing or that Portage is getting something wrong, i.e. your p.use is in theory fine (even if maybe unwise), it's just that not using emerge and instead using ebuild is not going to respect dependencies.

[Hu]

Sorry. I missed that OP was using ebuild instead of emerge. I knew ebuild skipped those steps, but thought OP would have used emerge first, and only resorted to ebuild later (if at all) for debugging.
