[gentoo-user] [OT] Help tweaking an ebuild

Hi All,

I am not at all competent at modifying ebuilds.  I am trying to emerge an 
ebuild locally for testing and I have two problems straight off the mark.

a)How should I specify the URI for the source file if it is already copied 
into my /usr/portage/distfiles?

b)Trying to create a manifest gives me errors:
============================================================
# ebuild rtmpdump-1.2.ebuild manifest
/usr/local/portage/media-libs/rtmpdump/rtmpdump-1.2.ebuild: line 34: 
unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/usr/local/portage/media-libs/rtmpdump/rtmpdump-1.2.ebuild: line 43: syntax 
error: unexpected end of file
 * 
 * ERROR: media-libs/rtmpdump-1.2 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line 1879:  Called _source_ebuild
 *               ebuild.sh, line 1818:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *      source "${EBUILD}" || die "error sourcing ebuild"
 *  The die message:
 *   error sourcing ebuild
============================================================


Line 34 is shown below:
============================================================
rc_compile() {
    if [[ -x ${ECONF_SOURCE:-.}/configure ]] ; then
        econf
    fi
    if [ -f Makefile ] || [ -f GNUmakefile ] || [ -f makefile ] ; then
        emake || die "emake failed"   <--this is line 34-->
    fi
}
============================================================


and this is line 42 (there is no line 43!):
============================================================
src_install() {
    dobin rtmpdump
    dodoc README ChangeLog
    prepalldocs
}				<--this is line 42-->
============================================================

Could you please hold my hand on this?

Add RESTRICT="fetch", plus add an informational function pkg_nofetch.
Search for them for example here:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1

or on the man page (man 5 ebuild).

I believe the problem spot could be anywhere before that line. That
line might just be the last one with a quote char, so there won't be
any later quotes in the file to match? Thus, check all lines before
that one.

Just list it as usual. portage will see that it is already there and not re-
download it.

You have an odd number of double quotes in that ebuild. Or, you are using 
quotes literally and did not quote your quotes.

Thank you very much!  I had indeed left a " open, at the SRC_URI line.  It now 
created the manifest without errors.  :)
