Nope. it also fails with PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/tmp/dh, which gives a much shorter
path.

------- Comment #4 From Michael Baer 2007-09-26 13:51:41 0000 ------- 
The problem can be found in Makefile around line 630:

        @for file in $(IMAGE_FILES); do \
                case "$$file" in \
                  *.gif) echo -n G ;; \
                  *.jpg) echo -n J ;; \
                  *.mng) echo -n M ;; \
                  *.png) echo -n P ;; \
                  *.xcf) echo -n X ;; \

                $(INSTALL) $(top_srcdir)/$$file $(DESTDIR)$(helpdir)/$$file ||
exit; \
        done


The list $(IMAGE_FILES) is much to long, even for "echo". Thus it's neccessary
to change the method here.

A quick'n'dirty fix could be:

As far as I can see, everything is installed correctly.

Any idea on when a fix will be pushed out?

Obviously, "me too" on the "arugument list too long" failure to emerge...

I think this may be a portage bug. When I emerge the ebuild using portage, it
fails just like it does for everyone else here. But when I manually do

# cd /var/tmp/portage/app-doc/gimp-help-0.13/work/gimp-help-2-0.13
# make DESTDIR="/var/tmp/portage/app-doc/gimp-help-0.13/image/" install

the install works...

FYI, it fails the same way with paludis as well so it's unlikely to be a
Portage bug.

Worked ok for me with this ebuild.

Committed to CVS. No revbump since it is a build-time failure.

Sorry, I didn't know that you were already at it ...
Patch submitted upstream.
