Description Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev

This part of the ebuild:

    # We don't need this, so punt it.
    rm "${D}"/usr/bin/oldfind "${D}"/usr/share/man/man1/oldfind.1 || die

fails in Prefix because it doesn't find both files, that are in ${ED}.  The ebuild is EAPI=2, if we could bump it to EAPI=3, ${ED} could be used.

I think using EAPI=3 is the easiest solution here.  Any problems with doing so?

i could just move it back down to EAPI=0 ;)

i don't plan to ever stabilize findutils-4.5.x.  so by the time 4.6.x rolls out, using EAPI=3 in stable probably will long be fine.  so feel free to make that change to 4.5.11.
