[vlc-devel] Re: CVS Commit (hartman)

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

Hello,

First of all, the snapshot generation seems to be broken, last snapshot 
is from 24th of june.

Now the real stuff. Our versioning scheme is unfortunately incompatible 
with Gentoo's
Currently when creating dist we simply do this.

dist-hook:
         mv $(distdir)/vlc.ebuild $(distdir)/vlc-${VERSION}.ebuild
However this is incorrect since we can have version contain -test2 or 
-cvs. Gentoo's ebuild naming scheme does not allow this.

I would like to change this to:
if ${VERSION} contains "-cvs" then substitute "-cvs" with 
"_pre20030710" (so use date of dist creation).
if ${VERSION} contains "-test" then substitute "-test" with "_rc".
mv $(distdir)/vlc.ebuild $(distdir)/vlc-${VERSION}.ebuild

This would generate correctly named ebuilds, though not yet working. 
For that something else needs to be done.
In the ebuild, I have a variable ${PV} ==  0.6.1_cvs20030710
I would like to parse this variable to set the different 
downloadlocations.

no _something extension  -->  release /pub/vlc/0.6.1/vlc-0.6.1.tar.bz2
_cvsdate extension  -->  snapshot 
/pub/vlc/snapshots/vlc-snapshot-date.tar.gz
_test# extension -> /pub/testing/vlc-0.6.1-test#.tar.bz2

Is this feasible? Does anyone have any ideas on how to do that? I'm not 
sure how I have to parse and edit those variables. It would be really 
cool this way and simplify maintenance and testing of the ebuild a lot.
