folks.
No, there are "cvs" ebuilds that fetch the latest from CVS and then do the right thing with it. I just thought you might have created them already. There is a Gentoo bug already asking for these.
actually, that bug does not *ask* for cvs ebuilds, it *provides* them ^_^
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33345
I doubt gentoo plans to ever add them to portage, but zaptel-cvs-0.5.ebuild and asterisk-cvs-0.2.ebuild work just fine in overlay mode, with linux 2.4 and 2.6.
what I do: point /usr/src/linux-2.6 at /usr/src/linux, and then forget about it. then just link /usr/src/linux to the latest kernel sources I'm using.
Just get the latest source from CVS and type "make" and "make install". It's almost as easy as an emerge and doesn't take any more or less time.
Yes, but you don't get the Gentoo integration.
An emerge would probably splatter files all over the filesystem, just like the default Asterisk install, whereas I prefer to have it all neatly under /opt/asterisk. That's easily done when you're controlling the make, but emerge probably wouldn't provide a "tidy install" option.
Opinions vary no doubt, but I don't see any benefit to that. The emerge toolset (qpkg, etc.) is explicit where things go, and the result is integrated with everything else in the system, including management (/etc/init.d) and the consistent use of /var and /etc. I don't want multiple layouts on my system.
yep, if I emerge unmerge asterisk-cvs or zaptel-cvs, it does a great job of cleaning up whatever the initial emerge put onto the filesystem (except /etc/* of course, which is protected, and also any .gsm/keys/etc. I added that emerge did not put there itself)
I still don't like the asterisk init.d script tho, inittab much preferred here.
