[gentoo-dev] apache.ebuild and recursive updates

[Peter Fischer]

Hi everybody!

I am currently trying to write my first ebuild script
and I am facing some problems:
I want to do a crossover of apache*.ebuild und several apache autobuild
scripts on the net( "http://prometheus.zerodivide.net/apache_kit/" and
"http://www.apachetoolbox.com/", which compile a big bunch of 3rd party modules), as
well as some other modules like mod_mp3, mod_gzip...

This leads to my 1st question:
Should a ebuild script administrate such a big pile of software or should I
rather write "3rdparty.ebuild" and leave apache, jakarta... as they are?

2nd question:
I was LAZY since January and now I am looking for a easy method to update my
system.

Is there a possibility to do recursive merges, because if I do:
bash-2.04# ebuild nautilus-1.0.ebuild merge
results in:
!!! Some build dependencies must be satisfied:

['>=gnome-libs/ammonite-0.8.6', '>=gnome-base/scrollkeeper-0.1.2',
'>=gnome-base/control-center-1.4.0', '>=gnome-base/bonobo-0.37',
'>=gnome-libs/medusa-0.3.2', '>=gnome-base/libghttp-1.0.9']
&& merge gnome-libs/ammonite-0.8.6 or newer
&& merge gnome-base/scrollkeeper-0.1.2 or newer
&& merge gnome-base/control-center-1.4.0 or newer
&& merge gnome-base/bonobo-0.37 or newer
&& merge gnome-libs/medusa-0.3.2 or newer
&& merge gnome-base/libghttp-1.0.9 or newer

followed by: 

bash-2.04# ebuild gnome-libs/medusa/medusa-0.5.0.ebuild merge && ebuild
gnome-libs/ammonite/ammonite-1.0.0.ebuild merge &&
gnome-base/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper-0.2.ebuild merge && gnome-base/libghttp/libghttp-1.0.9.ebuild && 
gnome-base/control-center/control-center-1.4.0.1.ebuild && ebuild
gnome-apps/nautilus/nautilus-1.0.ebuild merge
results in:
!!! Some build dependencies must be satisfied:

['>=gnome-base/gnome-vfs-1.0']
&& merge gnome-base/gnome-vfs-1.0 or newer

!!! Some build dependencies must be satisfied:

['>=gnome-base/gconf-0.50', '>=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.2.12']
&& merge gnome-base/gconf-0.50 or newer
&& merge gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.2.12 or newer

Please tell me a solution for this, as my line is terribly slow and usable
only during the night at reasonable bandwidth/price.

Thank you very much,
	Peter

Upgrade to portage 1.5, and then remove /usr/bin/ebuild (it now lives in
/usr/sbin.)

Then, use the "emerge" command to install ebuilds:

# emerge --pretend foo/bar-1.0.ebuild

or....

# emerge --pretend evolution/evolution-0.8.ebuild

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Hi Peter,

If possible use separate packages for the additional modules, beacuse we
can not make sub packages from
within one ebuild at the moment. Thank you for doing these stuff.
