Please introduce local variables with 'local'.

This was tested in the moment when I put it in the mv overlay (before I posted the second version).

Please test the ebuild with repoman full -x.

So I had expected that it was written carefully and only checked what changes of portage/eclassed happened since its removal. I actually did not look at it so carefully, because it was previously in the tree. (As mentioned, there is already an ebuild for the differently bundled googleearth-7.3.0…3832).įeel free to pick from there whatever you want, but I will not be a proxy-maintainer.

#Google earth pro installed itself update#

In the moment, I keep and update the ebuilds in the mv overlay. I suppose you mean both Martijn and me (whoever is volunteering…)ĭue to my past (and again recent) experience with mgorny, I will not proxy-maintain anything. (In reply to Jonas Stein from comment #12)

One could temporarily umount the TMPDIR or work around the issue with the following instructions: The src_install phase errors out on the 'doins '$-mimetypes.xml' || die' section of the ebuild if I have my TMPDIR on a tmpfs. I'm personally on a USE=bundled-libs install, but those who are trying to use the system libraries may want to pay special attention. One of the changes for the 7.3 branch versus the 7.1 branch is that Qt5 libraries are now used rather than Qt4 libraries. Some special attention for the following items: Updated the Manifest to account for the new Google Earth Pro checksum on the distfiles. Renamed a few occurrences of google-earth into google-earth-pro within the ebuild itself to account for the change/upgrade to Google Earth Pro. Modified googleearth-7-desktopfile.patch and renamed it to googleearth-7-pro-desktopfile.patch to account for the change/upgrade to Google Earth Pro. One can now version bump googleearth-7.ebuild into googleearth-7.ebuild by solely modifying the filename and running 'repoman manifest', which is why I haven't attached ebuilds for both versions. This means we should no longer have broken ebuilds as a result of silent version bumps to the 'current' release. Used the versionator eclass to define a $MY_PV which makes the SRC_URI fully dynamic, targeting a specific version of the package. I have attached the files from my local repository for your review, having made the following changes to the original files that I could pull from git: I don't personally have experience as a maintainer, but would be willing to learn if no one else (such as the previous maintainer) is available to take care of the package. both installed and functioned properly on my Intel graphics system and therefore, if at all possible, I would like to see both the 7.

#Google earth pro installed itself drivers#

Unfortunately I couldn't actually use this release on my current system due to an incompatibility with the Intel graphics driver that I rely on, it should work better for systems with proprietary NVIDIA/AMD drivers - I'll be able to test that next week:

Moving on to Google Earth Pro which appears to be 'the future', the latest release which I have managed to install is the 7.

You can save these files in your distfiles with the correct names, and then grab the pre-lastrite ebuild plus corresponding files from git to perform the install: distfiles which were used in the pre-lastrite Manifest can be grabbed via the following links:

For example, the (older) Google Earth Free 7. Moreover, I've been able to deduct from the link to Google's KB which I posted earlier that one can actually download specific distfile versions from the official distributor. Secondly, certain occurrences of google-earth were renamed to google-earth-pro, one of the impacted files was sktop which meant that the googleearth-7-desktopfile.patch which was called in the last Gentoo-tree ebuild for this package no longer worked. The migration to the new release system has resulted in a change of the path within the file from /opt/google/earth/free to /opt/google/earth/pro.

#Google earth pro installed itself license key#

The Pro version no longer requires a license key for versions >7.1.5 as described on: What seems to have happened is that Google has decided to get rid of their separate 'Google Earth Free' and 'Google Earth Pro' releases, only packaging the Pro release as of version 7.3.0. Sci-geosciences/googleearth has been removed from the tree per back in September, but I believe this was based on some incorrect assumptions since the standalone desktop client for Google Earth is still very much alive - although it was moved to a new URL: Original googleearth-mimetypes.xml to be installed into filesdir (googleearth-7-pro-desktopfile.patch,661 bytes,

Modified desktopfile patch to account for the new pro release scheme
