Welcome to Gentoo Finnish project overlay
This project is for hosting experimental versions of package's that concern with Finnish NLS. Main software in here is Voikko spell-checker system.
There’s also Finnish speech synthesis suopuhe, developed by universities of Joensuu and Helsinki ages ago.
The overlay contains experimental ebuilds; Testing and feedback is appreciated, but support is not guaranteed.
Using Finnish overlay with layman
With Portage and layman:
# emerge layman # echo "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf # layman -f # layman -a finnish
With Paludis use something like /etc/paludis/repositories/finnish.conf:
location = ${ROOT}/var/paludis/repositories/finnish/
sync = svn+https://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/finnish/trunk
master_repository = gentoo
format = ebuild
The ebuilds are all ~x86 (before June 2008) or ~amd64 (past June 2008); adjust your keywords.conf accordingly.
Reasons why Finnish overlay is not yet suitable for main tree
- OpenOffice.org SDK is in separate package, which is ugly hacked up binary. The whole openoffice part of voikko can’t go in before openoffice team of gentoo resolves bug 151798. (Won’t be resolved unless someone steps up to do it, assumably.)
Known bugs and regressions
- app-office/openoffice-2.1.0 does not contain libstlport_gcc.so which is required by cppumaker. Using Fedora's prebuilt binary in openoffice-sdk is very fragile and dodgy. app-office/openoffice-bin-2.3.0 does have libstlport_gcc.so, umm, so fsck it.
- openoffice-sdk-2.3.0’s rpm cannot be unpacked with rpm.eclass unpack_rpm nor rpm2targz. You can try your luck with rpm, I couldn’t even install it.
- with version 2.4 and so on, I haven’t upkept this stuff, you may try version bumping at your own risk.
