[gentoo-dev] New net-fs/openafs ebuild

[Martin MOKREJŠ]

Hi,
  I've prepared an updated net-fs/openafs ebuild. The original reason was that
virtually all documentation is based on the style IBM/Transarc have installed it, i.e.
into /usr/afs, /usr/vice and /usr/afsws prefixes.

  openafs-1.2 supports only 2.4 kernels. 2.6 kernels are supported only in 1.3. series,
at the moment 1.3.81 is reaching 1.4 release and support largefiles and 2.6 kernel.

  Based on response from Ryan Phillips, I'd like to ask you to give some feedback to
the proposed ebuild. The ebuild works but have some questions (as comments in the
file itself), mostly related to the way files from sourcetree are copied/installed
into target.

  I'm not sure how to block the ebuild when user is running 2.6 kernel (uname(1)?),
of when the /usr/src/linux points to 2.6 kernel ... or just to check whether
gentoo-sources or vanila-sources of 2.4 version are installed?

  The original bugreport and the ubuilds are at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69649

Thanks for help!

put this into pkg_setup():
[[ ${KV:0:3} == "2.6" ]] && die "Sorry, this package doesnt support 2.6 
kernels"

Better to use the kernel groups eclass of the month for this one. The defining 
of $KV will likely be removed from portage down the track.

You're talking about linux-info and linux-mod, right?

Yeah, linux-info would be the one. I don't literally mean "of the month" 
above, btw. s/month/year/ would be closer ;)

1)
Jason, can you give me an example. ;) I'm making my first ebuild, so that's
why I came here.


2)
I have more questions hidden in the .ebuild file, but I think I shouldn't be lazy
and paste them here. ;)

src_compile() {
    econf --enable-transarc-paths --enable-namei-fileserver --enable-full-vos-listvol-switch --with-linux-kernel-headers=/usr/src/linux --enable-bitmap-later --enable-fast-restart --enable-largefile-fileserver --enable-bos-new-config || die econf
    make CC="$(gcc-getCC)" MT_CC="$(gcc-getCC)" || die make
}

The above results in:

./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-transarc-paths --enable-namei-fileserver --enable-full-vos-listvol-switch --with-linux-kernel-headers=/usr/src/linux --enable-bitmap-later --enable-fast-restart --enable-largefile-fileserver --enable-bos-new-config


Why is there "--prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib"? OK, I believe that's because of general Gentoo instalation paths. But see the $subj, the point here is to install openafs into *standard* locations. In real it doesn't matter for the install process performed by the ebuild, as it installs files in "manual" way and ignores "make install" step. Still, for completeness I'd like to see this removed from this ebuild behaviour.


3)
The ebuild as I've said install config file into well-known location. I can imagine having symlinks from "standard Gentoo places" to them.
Currently I have commented that out.

    # symlink configfiles in TransArc location to Gentoo's typical place
    # dosym /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB /etc/afs/CellServDB
    # dosym /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell /etc/afs/ThisCell
    # touch /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo


4)
Could someone explain me CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK?

    # Hmm, what about this?
    dodir /etc/env.d
    # don't know what's this CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK usefull for
    echo 'CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/afs/C /etc/afs/afsws"' \
        >> ${D}/etc/env.d/01${PN}
    echo 'PATH=/usr/afs/bin' \
        >> ${D}/etc/env.d/01${PN}
    echo 'ROOTPATH=/usr/afs/bin' \
        >> ${D}/etc/env.d/01${PN}


Thanks for answer. ;)
Martin

dont use `econf` if you dont want the standard parameters, run `./configure` 
yourself :P

`man make.conf` and read about the variable

no, the proper way is:
echo 'CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=/blahblah' > somefile
newenvd somefile 59openafs

or even better, if your env.d entry is always going to be the same, just 
create it in $FILESDIR/ and then run `doevnd "${FILESDIR}"/50openafs`
