 Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2006 7:01 pm Post subject: Tweaked Portage 2.0.54 ebuild |
 |
|
Hey!
I've just made new ebuild for portage v2.0.54-r1.
Why i made it?
Portage 2.1 Pre offers some new features, but it's unstable and I had some troubles using it.
Portage 2.0.54 is the newest stable version but for eg. it doesn't support parallel-fetch.
TO DOWNLOAD EBUILD JUST CLICK HERE 
My ebuild has new 2 USE flag: cdb & ricky.
CDB: Enabled python-cdb dependecy and install portage_db_cdp.py into Portage Pym directory.
It also copies modules file to /etc/portage, so after emerging it you need to type "emerge --metadata"
After that you have new Portage with CDB Engine:
| Code: | localhost / # time emerge --metadata
skipping sync
>>> Updating Portage cache: 100%
real 0m7.797s
user 0m6.594s
sys 0m1.008s |
RISKY: Adds 2 new features (parallel-fetch and confcache). I think there's no need to describe it.
I've already tested it. And it works correctly. CDB and parallel-fetch works fine as in Portage v2.1.
Tomorrow I'll test confcache and publish ebuild with patches.
Please post here your opinion about it.
Thanks.

I think it would be greatly appreciated if you wouldn't use the same name as official portage does as this is not an official release.

I didn't think of that, that's a bit of a problem, agreed. Not sure how to fix this best either.

| @amne What is the problem? There is a lot of unofficial ebuilds on fgo and they have name as offcial ones so why you don't write also there to change name of ebuilds? |

Add it to official portage tree?

Probably because i'm not aware of them. 
I don't have a problem with people patching around stuff, it just should be clear from the name that it is no longer the original ebuild, so if it breaks your system and you submit a bug report everyone (including the bug reporter) is aware this is not e.g. portage 2.0.54-r1 but portage 2.0.54-r1-some-patches.
Saves a lot of time on debugging problems that may not have been in the original version in the first place.

| Isn't that what the _p[0-9]+ in the name specifies? that it's a patched version? |

I_WILL_NEVER_FILE_A_BUG_TO_GENTOO_DEVS_ABOUT_IT="1" emerge portage
same principle as for gcc-4.1_pre* would work quite well i think
