For app-editors/zile-2.4.9, Portage outputs the following QA notice: * QA Notice: Automake "maintainer mode" detected: * * ./build-aux/missing --run /usr/bin/help2man --output=doc/zile.1.in --no-info --name="Zile Is Lossy Emacs" --include ./doc/man-extras ./build-aux/zile-help2man-wrapper; \ This is due to this Zile upstream change: <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/zile.git/commit/?id=f32a23baf20127ad02a1ae6634093414018459c3> Diego told me that I should report it as a false positive. ;-)
Add QA_AM_MAINTAINER_MODE: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=199984e45915bed2dd98f8623430fac0495b4507 Then you can use a pattern like this to match your missing --run line: QA_AM_MAINTAINER_MODE=".*Zile Is Lossy Emacs.*"
This is fixed in 2.1.11.39 and 2.2.0_alpha150. Please go ahead and use QA_AM_MAINTAINER_MODE where appropriate.
