[gentoo-user] Changing cpan repo in emerge

[shawn wilson]

How do I change emerge/ebuild from using cpan to metacpan to a local repo?

I see mirror://cpan/foo and I figure SRC_URI gets scraped and changed
(I'm guessing this happens somewhere in python since I don't see
anything happening to SRC_URI in perl-module.eclass). I just want to
use metacpan for all of my packages, but I'm sure some would want to
use a local repo as well and I can't figure out how.

I tried using the old method of:
SRC_URI="mirror://www.metacpan.org/authors/id/K/KW/KWMAK/Chart/Gnuplot/${P}.tar.gz"

but that errors:
b89c521c6177 Chart-Gnuplot # ebuild Chart-Gnuplot-0.21.0.ebuild manifest

Maybe there's two questions here - first being why it's looking at
distfiles.gentoo.org instead of the SRC_URI I provided and how to
change where cpan points.

If you're just creating a local ebuild - i.e. bumping to a version that isn't in portage - then I think you should be able to just download the .tar.gz file and stick it in /usr/portage/distfiles/ before creating the manifest.

Alternatively you might be able to set RESTRICT="fetch" in the ebuild (from the dev-java/sun-jdk ebuilds), so that the download is ignored and your tarball is used.

Apologies if I've misunderstood what you're trying to do.

That'd work, though I'd prefer not to inflate our distfiles more than
it already is. It also appears that search.cpan.org is back up so I'm
just using cpan for now. However it'd be nice to figure out how to
change the cpan site anyway.

It's trying to fetch sources from distfiles.gentoo.org because that is
the default location for sources.


Where does that ebuild for Chart-Gnuplot come from? It isn't in the
tree; is it an ebuild you made, or from an overlay?

I have some auto-generated local ebuilds here that I made ages ago using
some automated cpan<->ebuild tool that was in portage. Unfortunately I
don;t recall the name :-) but here's the guts of what it built:


MODULE_AUTHOR=MANOWAR
MODULE_VERSION=0.20
inherit perl-module

DESCRIPTION="Authen::Radius - provide simple Radius client facilities"

DEPEND="dev-lang/perl"

MY_P=RadiusPerl-${PV}
SRC_URI="mirror://cpan/authors/id/M/MA/MANOWAR/${MY_P}.tar.gz"



I *think* the magic is all in "inherit perl-module"

Used it a while back, not sure what is the current state.
