Description Alan Mimms 2006-01-18 20:52:46 UTC

The scons build for kdissert needs COPY not symlink the documentation files.  Otherwise, the install step copies the newly built KDE-style documentation into /usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/kdissert (for example) and two of the files are actually symlinks to the /var/tmp/portage tree where the product was built!

This was the kdissert-1.0.5 ebuild.

Comment 1 Alan Mimms 2006-01-18 21:04:44 UTC

I looked a bit deeper and it looks like bksys/generic.py has

		lenv.SetOption('duplicate', 'soft-copy')

which causes soft links (symlinks) to be used rather than copying the files.

I changed it to

		lenv.SetOption('duplicate', 'copy')

and it fixed my problem.
