Bugzilla Bug 206453

meld-1.1.5.1 creates an empty directory /usr/share/doc/meld

Adding:

sed -i -e 's:\$(docdir)/meld:\$(docdir)/${PF}:' INSTALL

fixed this for me.

Can meld remove the dependency of gnome-python-desktop and all that is included
with it:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160991

The only part that uses gnome-python-desktop is syntax highlighting which which
is off by default and nobody really uses anyway.

please read the summary of this bug again and tell me where you see it's
related to dependencies ? That said, the dep won't be optional until the source
of the problem is fixed and yes, some people use syntax highlighting. Thanks
for understanding.

I use syntax highlighting.  Meld is useless without it, IMO.

This dir doesn't exist for me in -r1 but I don't see the above mentionned fix
in the ebuild either. Could you give the new ebuild a try ?

Still get:
/usr/share/doc/meld  /usr/share/doc/meld-1.1.5.1-r1

USE="-debug doc gnome"

Reproducible here 1.1.5.1-r1, and using Chris' one-liner in the ebuild fixed it
too.

Ebuild patch for easy testing

Arun, your patch is empty :D
