Sometimes we need to create a package without sources - just with init-script, crontab or a config collection.
Method 1
Just place files in files directory of a package and make ebuild like the next:
pkg-1.0.ebuild - package ebuildEAPI=7
DESCRIPTION="HERE A DESCRIPTION"
HOMEPAGE="HERE AN URI"
LICENSE=""
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="amd64 ~x86"
IUSE=""
DEPEND=""
RDEPEND="SOME_PACKAGES"
BDEPEND=""
S="${WORKDIR}"
src_install() {
newinitd "${FILESDIR}/${PN}.initd" "${PN}" || die
newconfd "${FILESDIR}/${PN}.confd" "${PN}" || die
}
Note:
- there is no
SRC_URI Sis set to$WORKDIRto suppress an error on install phase due to$WORKDIR/$Pabsence.
Method 2
If files too large, you can place they in a compressed tar archive and use standard way:
pkg-1.0.ebuild - package ebuildEAPI=7
DESCRIPTION="HERE A DESCRIPTION"
HOMEPAGE="HERE AN URI"
SRC_URI="PKG_URI"
LICENSE=""
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="amd64 ~x86"
IUSE=""
DEPEND=""
RDEPEND="SOME_PACKAGES"
BDEPEND=""
src_install() {
newinitd "${S}/${PN}.initd" "${PN}" || die
newconfd "${S}/${PN}.confd" "${PN}" || die
}
