[gentoo-dev] Automatically generate ebuilds for PEAR/PECL packages

[gentoo-dev] Automatically generate ebuilds for PEAR/PECL packages

[Sebastian Bergmann]

  Hi,

  Stuart recently tried recruiting me to become a Gentoo Developer in
  order to help him maintain "all things PHP". I said "maybe" and he
  said that in order to become a Gentoo Developer I had to submit a
  couple of ebuilds to demonstrate my "worthiness".

  How about 300+ ebuilds? ;-)

  I wrote a script that receives the information needed from the PEAR
  WebService and creates ebuilds for the current stable/unstable versions
  of all PEAR/PECL packages.

  The script can be found at

    http://www.sebastian-bergmann.de/stuff/pear-ebuilds.phps

  Currently the script is at a "proof-of-concept" level and the result of
  a 10 minute hack.

  Have fun with it,
Sebastian

The 'template' file it needs isn't around (it doesn't seem to be in that
directory).

If you could roll this into something like g-cpan.pl, it would go a long
way. The general policy for CPAN and PEAR packages is that we don't want
to pollute the tree with adding them until they are needed by another
package. That said, I've broken that rule a few times myself when I
wanted a package in Gentoo so I could easily deploy some custom software
to many Gentoo machines (which is being donated to open-source soon ;-).

  Sorry about that. I uploaded it now to

  I don't know about g-cpan.pl.

  At the moment pear-ebuilds.php is missing error handling and the
  ability to map PEAR dependencies to ebuild dependencies.

  That makes sense to me.

[gentoo-dev] Gentoo DVD

[Philip Charles]

The DVD is built and tested.

Unfortunately I do not have the resourses to upload a copy to a public
site.  However, if someone is prepared to host this DVD I will post them a
copy.

Hi,

we have complete Bittorrent setup running on http://tracker.netdomination.org,
all i'd need is the .iso file (or a location i can grab it from) and a md5 
checksum file.

The problem still remains of uploading the image somewhere.  It is stuck
on my HDD at the moment.  I can just manage to upload the GNU Hurd CD
iso's, but a DVD is too much.  Could I post you a disc?

I can host it as well.  If you want to send me a DVD, and the stuff for a 
torrent, I'll put it on my server.

Thanks,

Can you handle the bittorrent thing?  I normally use jigdo.

The best way of handling iso images IMHO, is to burn the image itself onto
a disc.  So the DVD you receive would only have two files, the iso image
and the signed MD5Sum.

It's not a matter of being able to handle it, or not.  It's the fact that 
Bittorrent is the more popular of the two for a means of distribution.

And yes, I can handle it. :)

If you want to sent me a DVD, e-mail me, and I'll give you my physical 
address.

Bittorrent is more popular, but jigdo could be more efficient given the
number of Gentoo mirrors about.  Besides I can upload the necesary jigdo
files ;)
