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)


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

maybe?

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)


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.
