[gentoo-dev] local repo kernel ebuild search for tar.bz2 instead of tar.xz
Hi, I have copied ebuild from sys-kernel/hardened-sources to my local repository, in order to patch the sources. I didn't change the ebuild for now, but repoman manifest does not work. It tries to download files with extension tar.bz2 and not tar.xz. If I delete my local copy of the ebuild, emerge will work ok from the global portage tree. I think bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421721 is related to my problem, as it changed the extension of tar archives from bz2 to xz. Maybe there is a global flag I need to specify in order to inherit gentoo main tree behaviour? Regards, Kfir

addwrite /root/InstallShield addwrite /etc/mtab
did the trick.
Thanks all for replaying.

IIRC, you really should use `addpredict` instead of `addwrite`, as you
don't want the package
*really* writing to those locations.
I have tried it, but the installation does not work.
Matlab does not really install itself, as it throws a lot of
NullPointerException.
What I'm doing is letting it write using addwrite and then at the post
install I delete this directory.
What I don't understand is, why it needs to get write permissions to
/etc/mtab ?

[gentoo-dev] sandbox access violations while running matlab binary installer

So I have no access to change it. There is no option to provide InstallShield it's relative install path.

Where do you use doc flag?

Only don't install unnecessary docs:

further development would be done there.

[gentoo-dev] cmake.eclass turns OFF essential flags
Hi, I'm using cmake as my build system. I have created few cmake modules that are installed in another package. I now want to use those modules, when running cmake for current install. Cmake finds extra modules using CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. When running cmake manually, things work well, but when it's run under an ebuild which use: EAPI=3 inherit cmake-utils flag-o-matic The emerge will stop complaining that it can't find the extra modules. Printing the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH shows that it is OFF. What I understand is: cmake.eclass will turn OFF all the flags. I have looked in the code, but didn't find the place which is turning all flags off. Is there a way to solve this problem? Maybe a flag for cmake.eclass that will cause respecting the users initial settings? I can solve this problem instantly by installing my extra cmake modules into the main cmake modules directory, but then I'm mixing 2 packages, which I really don't want to do. Regards, Kfir
