[gentoo-user] ebuild with local source?

[gentoo-user] ebuild with local source?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I'd like to create an ebuild (in my local overlay) which refers to a 
local distribution file.

I've tried

SRC_URI="file::///usr/local/Src/MyPack.tar.bz2"

but "file://" doesn't seem to be supported.

Is there any alternative?

Thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

(I'm using portage-2.2._rc68)

Read the section "Using your source" at the end of the page here:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Writing_Ebuilds

HTH.

PS.  You may also want to experiment setting a
DISTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/Src" and see if it works (haven't tried it
myself)

"ln -s /usr/local/Src/MyPack.tar.bz2 /usr/portage/distfiles" maybe?

Thanks, but isn't that erased when I resync next time?

Apparently, though unproven, at 14:01 on Tuesday 24 August 2010, Helmut 
Jarausch did opine thusly:

No.

emerge --sync does not nuke your distfiles.
If it does you would know all about it by now.

No. Syncing doesn't touch the distfiles. I use this technique all the time.

Hi, but what do I specify for SRC_URI

I've tried
SRC="MyPack-1.0.7.tar.gz"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 mips ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86"
IUSE=""
S="$WORKDIR/${P}"
src_unpack() {
	unpack "${A}"
}

But it fails saying "nothing specified for unpack"
And, indeed,
doing
ebuild --debug <PATH_to_EBUILD> unpack
shows that ${A} is the empty string.

What am I missing?

Thanks a lot, it drives me nuts,
Helmut.

Place a RESTRICT="fetch" in the ebuild, and copy the tarball manually
to distfiles dir.

Unfortunately, now I get MyPack-1.0.7.tar.gz does not exist (though it 
is in /usr/portage/distfiles)

Thanks,
Helmut.

AFAIK there is no variable SRC that ebuild/portage would know of, but 
there is SRC_URI. Change to that and try to check for other similar, but 
hard to notice problems in the ebuild.
