Hi all,
Has anyone tried the new RRDTOOL CVS version lately ?
If so, how are your experiences with it ?
And.. does anyone have an idea where to find an ebuild for it ?
Greet,
Ron

There is an ebuild for rrdtool 1.0.42, with 1.0.43 being the latest release. Is there anything interesting in the latest CVS version? rrdtool is fairly mature and I'd be surprised if the CVS version contained anything the average person needs. My understadning is that the devel branch is mostly internal rewrites for speed and scaling and not adding new functionality... though I'm willing to be corrected if that's not that case.
It shouldn't be too hard to make an ebuild of it. I'd crib off the current rrdtool ebuild, increase the version number, and see if it works.

mostly it is indeed a speed upgrade, but also the buildup from the graphs is done a new way
for instance it should be able to create i.e. piecharts.
But the main thing why I am interested in it is :
- AntiAliased
- TrueType Fonts

Ah.. makes sense. I manged to build the latest snapshot by doing the following.
| Code: |
wget http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/beta/rrdtool-cvs-snap.tar.gz
gzip -d rrdtool-cvs-snap.tar.gz ; tar -xvf rrdtool-cvs-snap.tar
mv rrdtool-2003-07-06 rrdtool-1.0.51
tar -cvf rrdtool-1.0.51 rrdtool.tar
gzip -c rrdtool.tar > rrdtool-1.0.51.tar.gz
cd /usr/portage/net-analyzer/rrdtool
cp rrdtool-1.0.42-r1.ebuild rrdtool-1.0.51.ebuild
|
Then you'll need to play with the Manifest and digest files in the rrdtool ebuild dir. Once that's done
| Code: |
mv rrdtool-1.0.51.tar.gz /usr/portage/distfiles/
emerge -u rrdtool
|
That should be it. I haven't tested anything yet, but the compile worked and the ebuild installed it. I'm sure there is any easier way to do all this, but I'm hardly what you'd call ebuild fancy.
