emerge of gnome-games-2.16.2 stops in src_install() asking for keyboard input: gzip: /var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-games-2.16.2/image/usr/share/doc/gnome-games-2.16.2/./AUTHORS.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? This happens for files AUTHORS, ChangeLog, NEWS, README, and TODO (they are installed by gnome2.eclass and then again in the first "for" loop in src_install). Proposed bugfix: Add a flag "-mindepth 1" to the first "find" command in src_install(): - $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -name po ! -name libgames-support); do + $(find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -name po ! -name libgames-support); do
This has got to be related to your bashrc somehow, as the default environment doesn't ask you to overwrite; that said, that loop is definitely wrong for gnome-games, which has tons of authors files. I don't think your loop is right either, although it will solve your problems, because it will skip all the extra AUTHORs files. I'll try to come up with a better solution.
Ah, I misunderstood your proposed fix. It would work. I've just removed those files from the DOCS variable.
