Adds DESTDIR handling to Makefile.PL

The problem is that Makefile.PL doesn't respect DESTDIR. This patch changes
the
pixmaps and i18n targets to respect DESTDIR and VENDORPREFIX. Save the patch
in
/usr/portage/app-misc/gscmxx/files/, add: 

src_unpack() {
    unpack ${A}
    cd ${S}
    epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-destdir.diff
}

to the gscmxx-0.4.1.ebuild and reemerge.

When will the patch become part of an updated package, because I am unable to
implemented it?

hello devs,

could you please fix it? The patch is submitted.
If you don't want to fix it -- remove it from the tree. 

Pylon: even if I got a clean emerge I wouldn't know what this for. Since you
posted it, can you take a look? I'll leave perl@gentoo.org on the cc: list in
case you need assistance.

Hmm, the ebuild is ages old ;)  I can't remember if we had sandboxing at that
time.

Nevertheless I tried to reproduce the error on my system.  Without luck.  I
have FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache cvs digest distcc sandbox strict userpriv
usersandbox" enabled.  Or do I have to do something special for this error?

But if you have still problems I can simply add the patch and everybody will be
happy.  It does not seem to break anything.  Or what do the Perl-People think?

No special settings are required :) It is reproduceable (at least on my
gentoobox). It is the third time that i had these problems (with different perl
versions).

I added the patch to gscmxx and bumped the ebuild to -r1.  May you test it now?

Well, the new ebuild isn't in the tree.
And yes, i patched it myself and it installs without sandbox violation.

HTH

Oops.  Seems that I forgot to check-in without the --pretend option ;-)  Thanks
for pointing that out.  Now it's really in portage.

It tried this new version -- and it installs without sandbox violation.

Okay, closing.

As far as it concerns me, this bug can be closed. No problems any more.

okay, closing
