gnome2.eclass Reference
The gnome2.eclass provides functions for working with Gnome applications.
gnome2.eclass Variables
| Variable | Details |
G2CONF
|
You can set this variable to add configure options that are passed to econf.
Always put this variable inside pkg_setup. Putting it outside pkg_setup
is a QA violation.
For example: pkg_setup() {
G2CONF="--disable-scrollkeeper \
$(use_enable eds)"
}
|
ELTCONF
|
You can specify extra options to be passed to elibtoolize. elibtoolize is run for every
package unless you override src_unpack / src_compile.
|
USE_EINSTALL
|
You can specify to use einstall instead of the default, emake DESTDIR=${D} install.
This usually means the package is broken and needs to be fixed. The fixes need to be sent upstream.
|
SCROLLKEEPER_UPDATE
|
You can specify to not run scrollkeeper updates for a package. |
DOCS
|
You can specify a space seperated list of docs that will be install with the package.

gnome2.eclass Functions
| Function | Details |
gnome2_omf_fix
|
This method prevents scrollkeeper-update from running. Almost all GNOME
packages try to run scrollkeeper-update when trying to install/compile.
When scrollkeeper-update runs, it creates the directory below, which
writes outside the sandbox (see Sandbox).
In addition, if it were to continue, it would overwrite your
scrollkeeper_docs file with only the docs in the current build.
The method fixes all |
gnome2_icon_cache_update
|
This method updates the gtk icon cache. GTK does less work if the icons are cached. |
src_unpack
|
gnome2_omf_fix is called here so we don't have to put it in every ebuild.
( So many packages need it ) You must remember if you override src_unpack,
you need to call gnome2_src_unpack, add gnome2_omf_fix in after the patches, or
test to make sure gnome2_omf_fix not needed for that package.
|
src_configure
|
Runs elibtoolize on the package, sets GST_REGISTRY variable to work
around some access violations caused by gstreamer packages.
|
src_install
|
Delays gconf schemas from being installed until postinst |
gconf_install
|
Installs GConf schema files using gconftool. |
scrollkeeper_update
|
Runs scrollkeeper update if SCROLLKEEPER_UPDATE is not 0.
|
pkg_postinst
|
Calls gconf_install, scrollkeeper_update, fdo-mime_desktop_database_update,
fdo-mime_mime_database_update, gnome2_icon_cache_update.
|
pkg_postrm
|
Calls scrollkeeper_update, fdo-mime_desktop_database_update,
fdo-mime_mime_database_update, gnome2_icon_cache_update.
