When trying to access the help files from within meld, I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 657, in on_menu_users_manual_activate gnome.url_show("file:///usr/share/doc/meld-0.9.0/html/index.html") gobject.GError: The specified location is invalid. This is because the help files are installed in meld-0.9.0-r1 . I can't see from the ebuild why this is the case. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge meld 2. click on the help menu -> contents 3. Actual Results: Error message from above showed up on tty that started meld. Expected Results: Loaded the help file from the correct directory.
i think the url is embedded inside the source rather than ebuild. can you try the newer versions of meld?
Version 0.9.4.1 does work because there is no -rX version. Is there a way Gentoo can add a patch to the source that modifies the URL to match where the documentation is stored so if someone creates a new ebuild they don't need to worry about this issue in the future?
I changed the behavior in the ~ -r1 build of meld. This small fix should work for all future r* versions of meld. Thanks for reporting!
