that's not very clever, I guess... I'm using paludis and the "userpriv" feature
or how is it called

Hmm, you are right. Its in upstream's makefile. I will look at removing that
bit because we should be letting $PM remove them..

Admittetly, I kinda got caught in this 'trivial' version bump as there have
been quite a few bugs with it that is associated with me not have these man
pages on my system (naturally, I'm not Czech ;) ) So, do you see anything else
not correct with the ebuild so hopefully I don't have to fix anythign else?

Yeah, I noticed... it's indeed because of these messy "build" scripts. Maybe it
would be better to write our own ones instead of using these. But fixing (or
removing) this bit should be enough to get it finally working, I guess. Once
it's installed, it should be fine...

Ok, I won't get to it until tonight because I am at work so feel free to hack
away if you want. ;)

Created an attachment (id=156505) [details]
ebuild patch to fix this bug

Ok, here comes the fix... we only need to run make latest, possible compression
(make gz) is done by the PM.

Great. Thanks. Fixed in CVS.
