Please commit the cvs-version of tv_grab_tvtoday to gentoo portage. Further details about this problem can found on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1246665&group_id=39046&atid=424135
tv_grab_de_tvtoday from cvs still produces some errors here but at least the tv-program is grabbed again.
I've made a patch against tv_grab_de_tvtoday.in and modified the xmltv-0.5.39.ebuild to apply the patch. Nothing special, but it seems to work without any errors.
Created attachment 67766 [details] Ebuild with epatch command
Created attachment 67767 [details, diff] tv_grab_de_tvtoday.patch
This bug is perfectly reproducible here. The modified ebuild with upstream patch works as expected here; please consider modifying the existing ~x86 (and possibly also x86) ebuilds as suggested (this problem is already fixed in upstream CVS). The original tv_grab_de_tvtoday _cannot_ work anymore as the tvtoday.de people changed their web interface. Though I'd suggest applying the patch in src_unpack() instead of src_compile(), as suggested in ebuild(5) and http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/devmanual/ -- ie. src_unpack() { unpack "${A}" epatch ${FILESDIR}/tv_grab_de_tvtoday.patch }
Created attachment 68316 [details, diff] modified patch that works for both 0.5.37 and 0.5.39 ebuilds This patch is slightly modified: I removed hunk #1 which addressed only a CVS $Id$ line. This one works for both the x86 (0.5.37) and ~x86 (0.5.39) version of xmltv.
Created attachment 68318 [details, diff] patch for xmltv 0.5.40 This one is again slightly modified for xmltv 0.5.40: a) It's in unified (diff -u) format. b) Last hunk removed, this change is already in v0.5.40. Btw, there isn't an ebuild for xmltv 0.5.40 yet (which was released June(!) 3, 2005); simply copying the 0.5.39 ebuild works seamlessly, and with the attached patch applied also grab_de_tvtoday works.
