I use my desktop to build packages for my laptop. Noticed the following error when I tried to emerge netpbm from the package. Maybe a case of pkg_setup() having stuff that should instead be in src_unpack(). >>> Emerging (2 of 5) media-libs/netpbm-10.41.0 to / >>> Extracting info * You need to run: * cd /usr/local/src * svn co https://netpbm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/netpbm * * ERROR: media-libs/netpbm-10.41.0 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called pkg_setup * environment, line 2182: Called maint_pkg_create * environment, line 1726: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "need svn checkout dir"; * The die message: * need svn checkout dir * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/log/portage/media-libs:netpbm-10.41.0:20080214-060726.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/netpbm-10.41.0/temp/environment'. * !!!

vapier: could we use an environment variable instead of checking for the sourcefile? like: pkg_setup() { [[ -z ${CREATE_NETPBM_TARBALL} ]] || maint_pkg_create } of course this isn't that automagic anymore, but should prevent this bug. or do you have a better idea?
i'll just comment out the function so i use it when i need it http://sources.gentoo.org/media-libs/netpbm/netpbm-10.41.0.ebuild?r1=1.2&r2=1.3
Using an environment variable to keep track of state seems like a reasonable solution now that bug 56408 is fixed. Otherwise, see bug 154495 for other possible solutions.
zmedico: it was only in there as a hack until we have a new package maintainer phase that can be invoked via `ebuild`
