Please attach the complete build log, it might contain important details like how the documentation is made; who knows, the documentation generation itself failed.

I can confirm this: The ebuild lists DOCS="docs/index.txt docs/news.txt" but the tarball contains only index.rst and news.rst in the docs/ folder. 

So we should either change the DOCS and install the rst files or compile them into text with +doc (like its done to html with +doc).

Installing .rst files is fine. They're pretty readable as plaintext.

Changed DOCS variable to install the .rst files.
