[gentoo-embedded] manually creating manifests with RESTRICT="fetch"

[gentoo-embedded] manually creating manifests with RESTRICT="fetch"

[Christopher Friedt]

I'm trying to create a couple of ebuilds (for embedded devices) where
the files from SRC_URI must be manually downloaded after accepting the
conditions of a license.

Even after I've downloaded the files, to DISTDIR
(/usr/portage/distfiles), ensuring that they are entered in my SRC_URI
variable, with the RESTRICT=fetch keyword, I'm unable to generate
manifests for the files using "ebuild A/B/B.ebuild digest" because it
tries to fetch the files anyway.

Is there any way to generate the manifest file using 'ebuild' so that
it will just read the files from my DISTDIR rather than trying to
fetch them?

The "--force" option does not help, nor does the
FEATURES="assume-digest" or FEATURES="digest".

"arm*-emerge --version" is

Portage 2.1.9.42 (default/linux/arm/10.0, gcc-4.4.5, unavailable, 3.0.0 x86_64

Cheers,

Chris

Got it...

FETCHCOMMAND="echo" ebuild A/B/B.ebuild digest

I have the same tree for my embedded systems, and I do the same as you.
My header looks like this:
EAPI="3"
inherit cmake-utils flag-o-matic
MY_P="${P}-Source"
SRC_URI="${MY_P}.tar.bz2"
RESTRICT="fetch" # This file resides locally and can't be fetched

Please check the EAPI you use, maybe it needs to change.
Also look close on the SRC_URI, it has just the name of the file.
I'm also using repoman to generate all my manifests like this:
cd portage_local_tree; repoman -f manifest

This is much better way to do it.

Hmm... I'm using EAPI=4 in this ebuild. The SRC_URI is OK, since it
works with FETCHCOMMAND=echo and properly hashes the files in DISTDIR.
The inherit line is unnecessary AFAIK.

I wouldn't doubt that it was a bug in the portage version I'm using.
It's been 43 days since my last emerge --sync, but I can't update ATM
because I don't want to break any APIs in the (rather large) project
I'm building right now.

Oh well - problem has been solved anyway.

What I was trying to say is that I'm not using FETCHCOMMAND=echo,
and it works for me.

I would also forward this message to gentoo-dev.

Upgrading portage does not breaks API.

If something still requires FETCHCOMMAND, I really encourage you to open
bug at bugs.gentoo.org.

Oh, no! :) Bug reports should go to bugs.gentoo.org.

Well... I was hoping I could just let this one slide by ... but ok

Odd... now that I'm trying it again, it's working fine... and I
haven't even touched my PC since yesterday except for email.

Oh well - problem solved in any case.
