Hi guys,

I've made a little SVN ebuild for KTorrent, available for download here: http://www.eikehein.com/kde/ktorrent-svn.tar.bz2

In contrast to the ebuild available in the Portage tree, it will retrieve KTorrent's up-to-date sources from the KDE Subversion repository and compile those.

Just extract it into your overlay, and add ktorrent-svn to your ~arch keywords.

It's based on Jord Swart's popular amarok-svn ebuild: http://www.jordswart.org/archives/35

If it works well and you want to mirror it on the KTorrent website, please do.

Good. As soon as someone using Gentoo can confirm this ebuild works fine, I'm sure George will place the link on the website.

Excellent work Sho.
I tested on Gentoo and it works.

I test it on an amd64 and x86 hosts, also the bug related to 64 bit users wanting to upgrade to SVN versions >= 510300 seems fixed.

Its better if the ebuild requiere kdelibs.. i mean:

Code: Select all

17c17
<       kde? ( || ( kde-base/konqueror kde-base/kdebase ) )"
---
>       kde? ( || ( kde-base/kdelibs ) )"


About the "need-kde 3.3" beware, i dont know if ktorrent will work on 3.3 maybe 3.4 its a better option (remember its a svn everytime-up-to-date version) (the web says that you have KDE 3.4 or later)

Also it will be better if you add the GNU MP library (libgmp) (dev-libs/gmp).

BTW as a gentoo user i only provide the ktorrent-svn-2.0.ebuild (IMO everybody who will use an ebuild from a svn version, will prefer that way)

Sho, well here is the ebuild with some modifications:

EDITED: I remove my ebuild, to avoid confusions, now the Sho ebuild, is great!

I have updated the tarball with a new version of the ebuild, adopting KarMax' suggestions as well as other minor changes.

Changelog:
- Bumped minimum required KDE version to 3.4.
- Brought architecture keywords in line with the 2.0_beta1 ebuild (added ~sparc).
- Removed KDE from DEPEND entirely, as "need-kde 3.4" takes care of that.
- Added dependency on dev-libs/gmp.
- Added --enable-knetwork configure flag, in line with the tree ebuild.
- Removed references to amaroK from the CVS header (no functional change).
- Added IUSE as required by the Gentoo Development Guide.

Hi,

compiled and works like a charm. Here is a little about my box:

Code: Select all

Portage 2.1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-ck9 i686)
=================================================================
System uname: 2.6.16-ck9 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor
Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1

If someone know, how to add "LINGUAS variable" (localisation) to this ebuild, it would be wonderful.

Thanks for you work.

I dont want to generate confusion...

To use Linguas you need to add ( before inherit the kde eclass )

First the langs variables (just an example)

Code: Select all

LANGS="br es it"
LANGS_DOC="es it"


Second set:

Code: Select all

USE_KEG_PACKAGING=1


Now the kde eclass will pass the LANGS and LANGS_DOC and do the linguas_${lang}. (for each one of the langs.)

This will be used in the src_unpack but this ebuild is an svn and AFAIK this will not work, maybe Sho or somebody can afirm that.

I'm looking into adding checkout declarations for the i18n data, if I can assemble it in the format expected by the KEG methods it should be compatible with LINGUAS as seen in KarMax' post.

the ebuild works fine and so does the program.

when will 2.0 be released?

Soon, 2.0rc1 is only a few bug fixes away and 2 weeks after that, 2.0 final.

I am running a Turion 64 X2 (256k x 2 cache) and used the latest MASKED ebuild

Code: Select all

* net-p2p/ktorrent
     Available versions:  1.0 1.2 2.0 2.0.1
     Installed:           2.0.1
     Homepage:            http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/
     Description:         A BitTorrent program for KDE.


WHen i initially installed it my cflags were like:
CFLAGS="-march=k8 -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

and it crashed quite frequently and randomly. Without a good stack trace theres no point me even showing it.

I had tried many times to recompile and use 2.0 as well, with no luck.

Then, however, I stripped down cflags to just:
CFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe"

and recompiled and it (2.0.1) has not crashed since recompiling. (the euild added -02)

I a not sure what -O level was last on the compile line, but I will assume -Os, hence the difference. Dont know why it made a difference, but I hope this may help any other x64 users.

I had some problems with the ebuild and access violation - it's a bit of a hack to work around it for now, but I used FEATURES=userpriv - just in case someone else hits the problem.

Cheers,

Alan.

does this still work for people? This is what it installs for me:

Code: Select all

>>> Merging net-p2p/ktorrent-svn-2.0 to /
--- /usr/
--- /usr/share/
--- /usr/share/doc/
--- /usr/share/doc/ktorrent-svn-2.0/
>>> /usr/share/doc/ktorrent-svn-2.0/README.gz


and I need a bit more to run ktorrent

for anyone else that needs this, change src_install to:

Code: Select all

src_install() {
   S=${WORKDIR}/${P}/ktorrent
   cd ${S} || die
   emake || die
   make DESTDIR="${D}" install || die
   #kde_src_install
}


and it will install properly.

I've updated the tarball with the installation fix, thanks.

Thanks for the ebuild. I had access violations when using it, so I tried what skyphyr suggested (FEATURES="userpriv") and it worked fine.
