Bug 116504 – www-apps/viewcvs-0.9.3: enscript support is broken

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Schoenebeck 2005-12-23 09:18:28 UTC]

After enabling enscript support for syntax highlighting, I get the following error message:

Failure during use of an external program:
enscript --color --language=html -Ecpp --output - -

Python Exception Occurred
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/www/localhost/viewcvs/lib/viewcvs.py", line 2630, in run_cgi
    main()
  File "/var/www/localhost/viewcvs/lib/viewcvs.py", line 2594, in main
    view_checkout(request)
  File "/var/www/localhost/viewcvs/lib/viewcvs.py", line 1916, in view_checkout

  File "/var/www/localhost/viewcvs/lib/viewcvs.py", line 494, in markup_stream_enscript
    enscript.write(chunk)
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

I played around with some command line options of enscript and modified viewcvs.py accordingly, but I still got a similar error message.

Yep, that patch did it for me! Thanks!

I wonder if this package is maintained at all? There's a patch for this bug since months and nobody added it to the Gentoo repository yet.

I'm around, just haven't had a chance to fix this yet.
