Installation on Gentoo Linux¶
These are very rough notes, which might be helpful for someone as a start maybe.
Note
See also http://wiki.github.com/ramereth/ramereth-overlay/gentoo-mirrorbrain-howto (which should be merged with this documentation)
Warning
When I (Peter) took the following notes, it was my first experience in setting up a Gentoo system.
Because I initially emerged git, lots of Perl modules which are be neded later might already be on the system.
curl will be useful for testing later:
emerge curl
Build and start the PostgreSQL server:
emerge postgresql
emerge --config =postgresql-8.1.11
su - postgres
pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresql/data start
Build GeoIP:
emerge geoip
Edit /etc/make.conf
and add the following settings:
USE="postgres"
APACHE2_MPMS="worker"
APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_default authn_file authz_host autoindex dir env expires headers include info log_config logio mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif status userdir dbd"
Build and start the apache server:
emerge --newuse apache
rc-update add apache2 default
Add Lance’s overlay to /etc/make.conf
:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/ramereth-overlay"
mkdir /usr/portage/local
cd /usr/portage/local
git clone git://github.com/ramereth/ramereth-overlay.git
Create/edit the file /etc/portage/package.keywords
and add the following:
~www-misc/mirrorbrain-9999
~www-misc/mirrorbrain-2.8.1
~www-misc/mirrorbrain-2.8
~www-apache/mod_mirrorbrain-2.8.1
~www-apache/mod_form-132
~www-apache/mod_autoindex_mb-2.8.1
~dev-python/cmdln-1.1.2
~dev-python/sqlobject-0.10.4
~dev-python/formencode-1.2.1
Due to lack of a dependency in dev-python/cmdln, you need to do:
emerge unzip
Due to another little lack of a dependency, you also need to do:
emerge DateTime
Now, you can build mirrorbrain (and its components):
emerge -va mirrorbrain
You should get about the following output:
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
