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.
(In reply to comment #1) > Can meld remove the dependency of gnome-python-desktop and all that is included > with it: 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.

Arun, your patch is empty :D
