Very odd and I didn't find the root of the problem. This is the only version of automake which have problems, so I'm adding a patch to automake-1.9.6-r2.ebuild, in order to not regenerate them and just use the ones that come with automake-1.9.6.

In fact, I see no problem with this. At least keeping in svn is required. Let me just add some more info on it. This is the difference caused by my changes in the ebuild: http://dev.gentoo.org/~bbj/patches/automake-1.9.6.diff Adding -v to makeinfo, it formats until it crash: http://dev.gentoo.org/~bbj/patches/automake-1.9.6.coredump.txt I took a look at how ports team handle it, and I found something similar: post-install: cd ${PREFIX}/info && mv automake.info automake${SUFFIX}.info perl -pi -e "s,automake\: \(automake\),automake-1\.9\: \(automake-1\.9\)," \ ${PREFIX}/info/automake${SUFFIX}.info perl -pi -e "s,aclocal\: \(automake\),aclocal: \(automake-1\.9\)," \ ${PREFIX}/info/automake${SUFFIX}.info .for f in info-1 info-2 cd ${PREFIX}/info && mv automake.${f} automake${SUFFIX}.${f} \ && perl -pi -e "s,automake.${f},automake${SUFFIX}.${f}," \ ${PREFIX}/info/automake${SUFFIX}.info vapier, do you have any suggestion rather saying no? :P Flameeyes, if we can keep this in svn, it's enough and we can close this bug.
by adding this hack to automake, you're simply ignoring the real problem if it crashes once, it'll crash again ... you going to continue adding hacks ?
Yes, it might crash again, of course. But fortunately this is the only version to have problems here. I'm just trying to keep the default behaviour of the automake installation (to not regenerate info) and simply adding a version. The problem is that I cannot get stuck with this (silly) doc, there are a lot of more important work to do with OpenBSD, as the team is very reduced. Just to mention, I tried to make a more generic solution: http://dev.gentoo.org/~bbj/patches/automake-1.9.6-r2.ebuild.diff I promise to try taking a look at it when I get some more free time, but cannot do it now and I don't even know when. :)
old bug, more or less invalid and surely outdated, closing.
