NAME

xorg-3.eclass - Reduces code duplication in the modularized X11 ebuilds.

DESCRIPTION

This eclass makes trivial X ebuilds possible for apps, drivers, and more. Many things that would normally be done in various functions can be accessed by setting variables instead, such as patching, running eautoreconf, passing options to configure and installing docs.

All you need to do in a basic ebuild is inherit this eclass and set DESCRIPTION, KEYWORDS and RDEPEND/DEPEND. If your package is hosted with the other X packages, you don't need to set SRC_URI. Pretty much everything else should be automatic.

SUPPORTED EAPIS

TRANSITIVELY PROVIDED ECLASSES

FUNCTIONS

xorg-3_pkg_setup: Setup prefix compat
xorg-3_src_unpack: Simply unpack source code.
xorg-3_reconf_source: Run eautoreconf if necessary, and run elibtoolize.
xorg-3_src_prepare: Prepare a package after unpacking, performing all X-related tasks.
xorg-3_font_configure: If a font package, perform any necessary configuration steps
xorg-3_flags_setup: Set up CFLAGS for a debug build
XORG_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS: Array of an additional options to pass to configure.
xorg-3_src_configure: Perform any necessary pre-configuration steps, then run configure
xorg-3_src_compile: Compile a package, performing all X-related tasks.
xorg-3_src_install: Install a built package to ${D}, performing any necessary steps.
xorg-3_pkg_postinst: Run X-specific post-installation tasks on the live filesystem. The only task right now is some setup for font packages.
xorg-3_pkg_postrm: Run X-specific post-removal tasks on the live filesystem. The only task right now is some cleanup for font packages.
remove_font_metadata: Don't let the package install generated font files that may overlap with other packages. Instead, they're generated in pkg_postinst().
create_fonts_scale: Create fonts.scale file, used by the old server-side fonts subsystem.
create_fonts_dir: Create fonts.dir file, used by the old server-side fonts subsystem.

ECLASS VARIABLES

XORG_MULTILIB ?= "no" (SET BEFORE INHERIT): If set to 'yes', the multilib support for package will be enabled. Set before inheriting this eclass.
XORG_EAUTORECONF ?= "no" (SET BEFORE INHERIT): If set to 'yes' and configure.ac exists, eautoreconf will run. Set before inheriting this eclass.
XORG_BASE_INDIVIDUAL_URI = "https://www.x.org/releases/individual"}" (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Set up SRC_URI for individual modular releases. If set to an empty string, no SRC_URI will be provided by the eclass.
XORG_MODULE ?= "auto" (SET BEFORE INHERIT): The subdirectory to download source from. Possible settings are app, doc, data, util, driver, font, lib, proto, xserver. Set above the inherit to override the default autoconfigured module.
XORG_PACKAGE_NAME ?= ${PN} (SET BEFORE INHERIT): For git checkout the git repository might differ from package name. This variable can be used for proper directory specification
XORG_TARBALL_SUFFIX ?= "bz2" (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Most X11 projects provide tarballs as tar.bz2 or tar.xz. This eclass defaults to bz2.
FONT_DIR (SET BEFORE INHERIT): If you're creating a font package and the suffix of PN is not equal to the subdirectory of /usr/share/fonts/ it should install into, set FONT_DIR to that directory or directories. Set before inheriting this eclass.
XORG_DRI ?= "no" (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Possible values are "always" or the value of the useflag DRI capabilities are required for. Default value is "no"
Eg. XORG_DRI="opengl" will pull all dri dependent deps for opengl useflag
XORG_DOC ?= "no" (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Possible values are "always" or the value of the useflag doc packages are required for. Default value is "no"
Eg. XORG_DOC="manual" will pull all doc dependent deps for manual useflag
