Hello, I have been working on a gentoo ebuild for the parrot-0.4.9 release. I have commented more extensively on the install target in a mail:
"the value of maintaining a working install target to the parrot project" This ebuild is provided for reference in discussion of the points raised in that mail, and also in indicating problems in the current install target. the ebuild looks like shell code so it is quite readable to just about any UNIX person. Of particular interest to parrot hackers would be the list of paths that are mistakenly installed by parrot. These are easily located in the src_install() function, the "for frag" loop. I noticed that the rpm recently posted to the list had similar path removals as well. I also install all of the .pbc's found in runtime/parrot/library which increases the number of examples that will run, and lays a foundation for getting the languages to run. this is a work in-progress. for reference I call this copy of the ebuild rev 623. Cheers, Mike Mattie
