The info files are installed at /usr/share/info/emacs-22.0.92/. But they're all gzipped and then bzipped again. The dir file is bzipped, too. If you change into /usr/share/info/emacs-22.0.92/ and execute `bunzip2 *' all works fine again. So the problem is the unneccessary bzipping. BTW: The new behavior of the emacs-cvs ebuilds sucks, IMHO. There's no point in a cvs ebuild that does not install the CVS HEAD. Then you could better create a tarball with the checkout of e.g. the CVS TAG 22.0.92 + an normal emacs-22.0.92.ebuild. Till now I used the emacs-cvs ebuild to find bugs and test possible fixes. That's not possible anymore. Does that qualify as a bug? Then I'll open a new one for it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge emacs-cvs 2. 3.

That's not possible anymore. We always had problems with changing behaviour for such a complex ebuild as needed for emacs-cvs, so sticking to a branch makes life easier for us maintainers. And it does make sense, if you want to use a certain feature but don't want to be on the bleeding edge. My first proposal is, that you copy the old Emacs HEAD ebuild to your overlay and test it that way. Maybe we can find another solution.
I don't think we should have switched from HEAD to EMACS_PRETEST_22_0_92. As for the info docs being gzipped and then bzip2ed and the Info dir file being compressed, is that something the emacs build system is doing or is portage responsible for it? If the latter, better CC them.
Hi Chris, hi Matthew, I'm not completely sure, but I think this double-compressing occured first when portage was updated, too. It must have been roughly a week ago, so I suspect the uprade from sys-apps/portage 2.1.2_rc4-r5 to sys-apps/portage 2.1.2_rc4-r7. (Was there no -r6? At least it's not in the packages.gentoo.org RSS feed...) <OT> @Chris: You're not sticking to a branch but to a tag, which means that there will be no updates at all till the emacs devs decide to tag anew. The tag 22.0.50 was the latest tag for about a year or so (Matthew should know better), and to me a cvs ebuild which fetches a revision that's that outdated is not justified. </OT>
I won't have time to do the compress thing today. Info files are compressed by doinfo according to Gentoo Dev Handbook, so the Emacs build system possibly does that itself and afterwards it is compressed again by the Portage function. What confused some users and also me was the fact we had version numbers for the cvs ebuilds. Normally version tags for live ebuilds are something like 9999, maybe we should switch to HEAD with emacs-cvs-22-9999.ebuild or similar. At the moment the current tag is 22.0.9x, so not that old. Matthew, as it is your child I would you to handle it, my problems with the CVS ebuild are big enough, so I would like to concentrate on other Emacs related things.
Well, not sure what you mean by "Matthew should know better", I don't remember changing it. Anyway, I've been using the unicode branch and haven't noticed. Perhaps now is a good time to create a app-emacs/emacs-22.0.92 for the pretest and mask it.
> Well, not sure what you mean by "Matthew should know better" I thought you (as maintainer) followed emacs development a bit closer than I did and know exactly for how long 22.0.50 was the latest tag.
As Matthew retired, I have to take care of emacs-cvs. I am not very experienced with it, as it never built on any of my machines. Back to the bug(s): a) I removed a gzip line in the ebuild which should stop double compression. Please test. b) I added a hard-masked emacs-22.0.9999.ebuild which is the old live one. Please test.
> As Matthew retired, I have to take care of emacs-cvs. Did he retire from the whole gentoo emacs herd, or only from this ebuild? > I am not very experienced with it, as it never built on any of > my machines. Really? I use it for several years on different machines (x86, ppc and amd64) without any problems. But I'll try to help as good as I can. ;-) > b) I added a hard-masked emacs-22.0.9999.ebuild which is the old live > one. > Please test. You have to set the SLOT to the current pretest release, which is 22.0.93 at the moment, else the build breaks when trying to do rm ${D}/usr/bin/emacs-${SLOT}.emacs-${SLOT} Whenever a new pretest is tagged by the emacs devs, SLOT has to be set to it. That's all what is needed to keep the emacs-cvs-22.0.9999.ebuild working. (BTW: You can add a new pretest emacs-cvs-22.0.93.ebuild, too) The double compression thingy is nearly solved. The info files are only bzipped, which is ok. But the dir file is bzipped, too, but it must not be compressed at all.

(In reply to comment #8) > The double compression thingy is nearly solved. The info files are only > bzipped, which is ok. But the dir file is bzipped, too, but it must not be > compressed at all. It really is that I can compile emacs-cvs now, and my dir file is not compressed in any way. It can be accessed here without problems. What ebuild are you using now? Anything above from 22.0.92 has no gzip line for info files anymore.
> It really is that I can compile emacs-cvs now, and my dir file is not > compressed in any way. It can be accessed here without problems. What > ebuild are you using now? I use 22.0.9999 and portage-2.1.2-r5, and here the dir file of /usr/share/info/emacs-22.0.93/ is bzip2ed. The additional gzipping is indeed solved.

No, it is my first emacs-cvs install ever (says the dev from Emacs team :), and I don't have the file. So try `equery b /usr/share/info/emacs-22.0.93/dir.bz2` and `equery f emacs-cvs|grep dir` (you need to recreate the bzipped dir file) and post the output here, please. equery is to be found in gentoolkit.

To be honest, I am confused. The ebuild does not call bzip and the build system of Emacs neither.
Hm, I suspect the new portage version. As far as I can remember the double compression problem occured first after I upgraded portage to 2.1.2. It seems portage now compresses any file in info directories with bzip2, whereas 2.1.1 didn't (and the emacs-cvs ebuild took care of gzipping itself). Maybe try upgrading to 2.1.2-r5 and see if you hit the same problem then.

Yes, I had Portage in my mind when I asked for dependencies, but I wanted to go through all of them. And indeed it is the new ecompress feature which I thought would not bother me, so I mainly skipped the thread on the -dev mailing list. Temporarily fixed in post_install until I know how to handle it properly. Thanks for the help and I close it now.
