Hello guys,
first, I am new to the list, just subscribed some hours ago. Well, I am also new to pike, I heard of pike for the first time yesterday but I have to admit that it looks really promising and I'll have a closer look at it ;)
I have committed an ebuild for pike-7.4.20 to gentoo's portage tree. Gentoo users can install it just like every other ebuild, too.
For reference, you can also take a look at it using our viewcvs: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dev-lang/pike/
This is the initial commit of a pike ebuild so I'd be warmly interested in every sucess and failure story regarding the ebuild ;-)
With your feedback I hope to steadily improve the pike ebuilds and get it into the stable tree quite soon.

After a quick peek at your ebuild file, it looks like we would like your help to improve Pike, as well. (I noticed you had some kind of problems with ffmpeg and -fomit-frame-pointer.)
We run a build farm to try to learn about such problems occurring on various operating systems and platforms - ideally to fix them in pike itself, so packagers should not need to bother themselves; check out http://pike.ida.liu.se/development/pikefarm/7.4.xml for an overview.
If you would like to run a gentoo build client once in a while, we would only be too glad - that way we will have some automated means for tracking problems that creep up in the most recent source tree in CVS at any time (or at least as often as build clients have a go at the source).

Hi,
gentoo.org has 3 web nodes and the viewcvs doesn't sync "live" but only 1 or 2 times a day (and for whatever reason, they don't sync at the same time), so - depending on what ip you got for gentoo.org - you already have 1.6 or not (and rev. 1.6 is the most recent).
I sent my initial mail about 4 hours after I committed the ebuild (when I spotted rev. 1.6 on at least one of the mirrors because I thought the others would catch up anytime soon then, but now I know they don't sync at the same time ;)
I'll talk to one of our infrastructure guys and ask him wether it's possible that viewcvs syncs at the same time on all 3 nodes in the future.
I'd like to gleefully point out that the cvs-viewer on the pike site updates by a commit-callback, so the changes appears on the web about five seconds after the commit.

We used to in earlier days, too. But the load got too high (that's also a reason why we can't provide anonycvs to our users) and it was changed to update only 1 or 2 times (don't know exactly) a day. Perhaps that will change again when a new box is in place.
After all, if you are using gentoo you can get the packages via rsync using the package manager and thus, you have no need for cvs, so it's only interesting as a reference or whatever and not for getting the package to install it.
Unfortunatly, with the servers not syncing at the same time this is pretty useless that's why I already spoke up on this and hope to have an answer from an infrastructure person soon.

yes, I was hitting a problem when using -fomit-frame-pointer (make fails the first time pike is called). I saw a thread in the archives about -fomit-frame-pointer problems (IIRC a fix [workaround ?] has been committed to 7.5). So, I filter the flag out of the build process (after all, it probalby doesn't have a critical impact on the resulting binary anyway so that shouldn't be a loss).
Someone else who tested the ebuild told me about the ffmpeg problem (I didn't have it installed but after installing it I experienced the same compilation problem so I disabled it).
We run a build farm to try to learn about such problems occurring on various operating systems and platforms - ideally to fix them in pike itself, so packagers should not need to bother themselves; check out http://pike.ida.liu.se/development/pikefarm/7.4.xml for an overview.
I visited the #pike irc channel yesterday and had a nice talk with some guys there and someone mentioned pikefarm, too. Unfortunatly, at the moment I don't have the resources to add a gentoo box to pikefarm, but perhaps that'll change in the future ;)

Cool. I've added a news flash at pike.ida.liu.se.
I haven't tried gentoo or ebuilds myself, so my feedback aren't perhaps of the best quality. Looking through the checkin it looks like the metadata.xml can have a longer description (according to the DTD). Is the ANNOUNCE file OK, or is it too long? https://pike.ida.liu.se/development/cvs/view.xml?module=Pike&file=7.5/AN...
The source should compile fine on x86,ppc,alpha,sparc,sparc64 as is. I might have misinterpreted the KEYWORDS part of the ebuild file, but to me it looks like it is marked as only working on x86.
Regarding DEPEND, there is one configure test that requires bc. But that is probably a "bug" that should be fixed in the configure test instead...

It's perhaps a bit too long, the short description (used in the ebuild) should be like 1 sentence and the long description should go towards 3-4 sentences, at least that's what most people used. I didn't add a long description yet, because there is no tool/script or whatever that takes advantage of the metadata.xml file (it was recently introduced) so it's not that important at the moment.
The source should compile fine on x86,ppc,alpha,sparc,sparc64 as is. I might have misinterpreted the KEYWORDS part of the ebuild file, but to me it looks like it is marked as only working on x86.
Yes, that is, I only own x86 boxes. (a ~ before the keyword means it's in testing phase and - before a keyword means it doesn't work on that arch). I can't set these flags myself I have to forward a "please test dev-lang/pike on your arch and modify the keyword"-request to the various arch developers of gentoo (or success stories of users, of course but usually it ends up on the devs because most users only own x86 boxes)
Regarding DEPEND, there is one configure test that requires bc. But that is probably a "bug" that should be fixed in the configure test instead...
Ok, I'll add bc to the deps later today...(we are talking about the console based calculator, aren't we ?)
Yes, that is, I only own x86 boxes.
Grubba/Marcus, is there any alpha left in the pikelab that we can test gentoo on?
Ok, I'll add bc to the deps later today...(we are talking about the console based calculator, aren't we ?)
Yes, this is the line in configure.in that uses bc:
if test "0`echo 'if(AC_ACVERSION >= 2.50)1'|bc`" = "01"; then
Since bc isn't installed by default on some systems, could someone come up with something better?
