When attempting to revdep-rebuild, wpd2sxw needs to be rebuilt, with libwpd-0.8.1, it fails stating that it cannot find libwpd >= 0.7 pkg-config shows that libwpd reports 0.8.1. I noticed on the website that there is a new version of wpd2sxw available, but I didn't see a source tarball for it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: wpd2sxw refuses to compile, and I have to re-emerge libwpd < 0.8 and have masked it so that it no longer installs.
and squinky86 is listed as maintainer, but left us
OK, I've looked at sf.net/projects/libwpd/ and it appears that wpd2sxw has probably gone through some pretty fundamental changes (along with libwpd-8.*). There is a new version of wpd2sxw seems to have: 1) sources are only distributed in RPM (use rpm2targz) 2) the directory name has changed to writerperfect(?). The binary is still named wpd2sxw, and it builds perfectly with libwpd-0.8.2 It all seems very odd to me but this is how it is. libwpd-0.8.2 should be marked incompatible with wpd2sxw until this situation is hashed out because looking at the sources it's totally incompatible.
Here's the URL to save a little bit of time: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=62662&package_id=73612
Created attachment 66348 [details] ebuild for wpd2sxw-0.7.0 I ran against this problem too, and created an ebuild for wpd2sxw. It appears the source ball for perfectwriter is nothing more than wpd2sxw, so I used that one, and all seems to be very happy. I keyworded ~ppc-macos as I tested it and already keyworded the dependency libwpd and soon libgsf (which I needed this package for to test)
I've cleaned up the ebuild a bit and added version 0.7.1 to portage now. Had to push wpd2sxwbatch.pl to our distfiles-mirrors, as it seems to be missing from the libwpd-webpage atm.
version 0.7.1 works OK, while version 0.6.0-r1 gives the error on libwpd. But version 0.7.1 is still masked (~x86) ? It works like a charm for me, so maybe it's time to mark it stable ?
