|
|
Hi,
So I am attempting to create my first ebuild, following the following wiki page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Basic_guide_to_write_Gentoo_Ebuilds., and I must confess, I am stuck in an error that I cannot understand at almost the very beginning.
This is even more strange, that the only thing I have added are "filling the template's blank".
So here is the ebuild file I have create so far: https://bpa.st/raw/KYUQ
And when trying to test it as mentioned in the wiki, I've got this:
Code: | myPC /var/db/repos/gentoo-kk/dev-lang/beremiz # GENTOO_MIRRORS="" ebuild ./beremiz-1.4-rc1.ebuild manifest clean unpack
ebuild: /var/db/repos/gentoo-kk/dev-lang/beremiz/beremiz-1.4-rc1.ebuild: dev-lang/beremiz-1.4-rc1: does not follow correct package syntax |
The file was created and edited with vim.
Does anyone has any idea?

Yeah,
Like always, small details matters.
Thanks sam_ |

You're welcome! It's a bit subtle and I think the error message could probably be a bit nicer. That error is actually usually when people get the category/package name layout wrong (missing one, or mismatched). Maybe we could add a hint if something looks close enough to a valid suffix, or something. Dunno, will think about it. |
