This isn't decided by the ebuild but in the info file itself. I'll send a hint about this problem to the developers.
I've added the following lines to my own ebuild since an upstream fix/new version hasn't appeared for a year now. # fix info file local infofile for infofile in doc/fftw*info*; do sed -i 's/Texinfo documentation system/Libraries/' ${infofile} done I just adapted what I found in the 2.1.5 ebuild.
Re: comment #1 "This isn't decided by the ebuild but in the info file itself." But there are many ebuilds that have fixes in them for stuff like this and for stuff even less reasonably dismissed as something that is "decided by the ebuild". In this case, there *already was* a fix in the 2.1.5 ebuild - it's still there - and I don't understand why that fix was abandoned in later ebuilds. Okay it wasn't a major problem and might well have gone away on its own if the FFTW developers had taken your hint but after all this time they haven't, it hasn't gone away and the same bug is now present in 3.1.1. So I'm re-opening this bug in the hope that the 2.1.5 fix will be re-applied to the later ebuilds - as I think it should've been in the first place - and to make a more general point about the info files: My info directory page is a horrible mess. Apart from entries appearing under the wrong headings, such as fftw, there are a ridiculous number of multiplicities of slightly different headings for the same subject, strewn at random througout the page (not necessarily in the order shown here): Libraries Libraries: Software Libraries GNU Libraries GNU libraries Programming & development tools. Programming & development tools Network applications Network Applications Miscellaneous Miscellaneous: etc. etc. Presumably it is the same for other Gentoo users and I think this is what comes of letting the info files decide their own headings ;-) I'd be interested to hear any suggestions as to what the best way to sort this mess out is and what is the correct way to go about doing it (propose a GLEP...?).
Hi, Thanks for pointing this out and I've just fixed this in the ebuilds for fftw-3.0.1-r2 and fftw-3.1.1. Regarding the larger issue of inconsistencies in Gentoo's info files I would like to ask you to bring this up by posting to gentoo-dev so it can be discussed by all devs and users. Thanks in advance, Markus
Thanks Markus. I'll post something to gentoo-dev at some point.
(In reply to comment #5) > Thanks Markus. I'll post something to gentoo-dev at some point. Unfortunately that is extremely unlikely now. Perhaps someone else can deal with it.
