Jdoe’s Throwaway

While crawling bugs.gentoo.org today to find backuppc updated ebuilds (those in portage are rather old, 2.1.2 while last released version is 3.1.0) I’ve found a post of Lenno Nagel saying he has written an updated ebuild.
So I contacted him by mail (really a nice guy ), he gave me the repository subversion url and then I’ve tested his ebuilds.

Which work very well. The positive is that now I have a fully functional web interface, which was not with the old 2.1.2-r1 version.
The repository can be fetched with

svn co https://eudemon.infovorgud.ee/svn/utils/portage/

Portage configuration:


# cd /usr/local/portage/
# svn co https://eudemon.infovorgud.ee/svn/utils/portage/ utils-overlay
# echo 'app-backup/backuppc ~*' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

And added this line to /etc/make.conf:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=”/usr/local/portage/utils-overlay”

Paludis configuration

create a new file in /etc/paludis/repositories/ named utils-overlay.conf with the following content:

location = ${ROOT}/var/paludis/repositories/utils
sync = svn+https://eudemon.infovorgud.ee/svn/utils/portage/
master_repository = gentoo
format = ebuild
write_cache = /var/cache/paludis/metadata
names_cache = /var/cache/paludis/names

(change you paths as needed)

The sync the first time using
paludis --sync x-utils-overlay
then:
# echo 'app-backup/backuppc *' >> /etc/paludis/keywords.conf

Thanks again Lenno for your ebuilds
