Phoenix. Where and how ;)

Hi everyone.

Question about Phoenix - from where can I download it ?
And - how can I merge this into portage ?
I found some discussions about it, but links to the Phoenix
didn't work for me....

Please, point me to the right direction

Thanks in advance.

BR,
Arturas B.

Its available as an ebuild called phoenix-bin as the only offical release for this is a binary build. There is source available if you that way inclined though, but not through an ebuild.

Phoenix information is available on www.mozilla.org under projects

Right here, about four posts below yours on the same page. Part way down the first page is an ebuild that pulls the nightly and CVS. Works like a charm, I'm posting from it now.

er...is this an "offical" ebuild 'cos it don't look like it?

No, it's not official but it works. I copy and paste it into /usr/local/portage/net-www/phoenix/phoenix-0.5.0.ebuild and add PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage/ to /etc/make.conf. Create the digest and emerge it.

Which of the two ebuilds is the best to use?

nempo's worked for me while the other one did not. BTW, if you want to build it against gtk2 you can replace:

In nempo's ebuild he mentions setting the variable MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to get phoenix to work. Is this necessary? What do you mean by "digest"?

Side note - Why doesn't the Phoenix team release source for its release builds? Not until 1.0?

To make it really easy, add the following line to your ~/.bashrc. This won't bother any other Mozilla or Galeon builds, they will figure it out on their own:

ohhh, I'm famous =)) In my ebuild it IS necessary to set the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME, this is done automatically for you in the 'upgraded' one by vers_iq.

Will this mess with my building of galeon from cvs everyday?

It shouldn't. The most likely issue is with the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variable and if you set this in the startup scripts for each browser or something like that you shouldn't have a problem.

You should be famous nempo. Nice job with the ebuild!

For some reason, it works for me with unset MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME in my .bashrc. I'm posting this from Galeon 1.2.6 and have Phoenix open at the same time. Both are started from launchers with no startup script. Don't know why it works like that but I'm not complaining.

The phoenix startup script which you must be using (you are if you execute with the phoenix command) will not change the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME if it is already set, but if it is not then it will set it for correct use with phoenix, which would be why unset MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME works. I believe the mozilla shell script does the same thing and I am guessing from your results that the Galeon script does as well.

Alright, so I'm finally getting around to doing this . . .

When I do ebuild phoenix-0.5.0.ebuild digest, I get an error that says that there is no file or directory called /usr/portage/net-www/phoenix-0.5.0.ebuild, which is true, because we created the directory /usr/local/portage/net-www/phoenix-0.5.0.ebuild. Am I supposed to move the ebuild to the regular /usr/portage tree?

did you remember to set the PORTDIR_OVERLAY in your make.conf? Otherwise it might assume the only place the ebuild should be located is in the /usr/portage dir
