The Subversion package no longer contains the svn-config executable since version 1.4.0, as it can be read in the CHANGES file from the source tree (someone else pointed that out). As a consequence, the Subversion ebuilds should be updated as necessary so as not to issue something like: echo "exported" > /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/subversion-1.4.4-r1/image//usr/include/subversion-1/svn-revision.txt !!! dobin: svn-config does not exist /usr/bin/install -c -d /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/subversion-1.4.4-r1/image//usr/lib Moreover, other ebuilds that rely on svn-config's existence should be changed accordingly. The cause for which I am submitting this report is the kdesdk ebuild which is broken although the kdesdk-kioslaves ebuild was silently fixed during discussions on bug 169289. Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Ok this has been fixed in dev-util/subversion-1.4.4-r2, svn-config is not anymore referenced anywhere, thanks for noticing and reporting to us! Best regards, CHTEKK.
Wel, the kdesdk-3.5.6-r1 ebuild still contains "svn-config". When compiling, it says this: checking for Subversion svn-config... not found checking for Subversion headers... found checking for Subversion libraries... found and later on: You're missing Subversion libraries (1.x) KDE will not be able to browse Subversion repositories without it,
There is the still open bug #169289 about that, please keep comments pertaining to other stuff searching for svn-config, and not finding it, to other, relevant bugs. This here is about subversion ebuild itself not referencing svn-config, and was thus fully fixed. If you encounter any app that needs svn-config, please open appropriate new bugs with the maintainers, thanks! Best regards, CHTEKK.
> This here is about subversion ebuild itself not referencing svn-config Not at all, this is your interpretation. It is one of your colleagues who prepended "dev-util/subversion" to my initial summary. Also, please read again my first comment. This one here is only one problem which happens to involve more than one ebuild and is orthogonal to bug 169289. When you said > svn-config is not anymore referenced anywhere I expected you had searched in all ebuilds "svn-config".
File separate bugs about whatever ebuilds that reference svn-config; it's not what this one is about. CLOSED.
