Installed 1.2.1 on gentoo

Post by nickeh »

Updated my ebuilds to install 1.2.1 (Couldn't wait to get it from gentoos official builds)

All i did was to create an local overlay:

Code: Select all

mkdir /usr/portage/local
echo "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=\"/usr/portage/local/\"" >> /etc/make.conf
Copied the deluge and rb_libtorrent directories to my new overlay, renamed deluge-1.2.0.ebuild to deluge-1.2.1.ebuild and rb_libtorrent latest ebuild to have version number 0.14.9.
Edited dependencies in deluge ebuild, digest both ebuilds and tried emerge...

First time the installation froze the computer completely, reboot read around and found that i would ned to install dev-cpp/asio, emerged that and then my edited ebuild worked.

So if someone wants to do this just follow these steps. I havn't gone in to the details on how to do each step but search on gentoo's homepage about ebuild and overlays and you'll get it!
