from the gimpprint patch in ghostscript:: + sed -e "s#-lXt#-L/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-6.53-r1/work/gimp-print-4.2.0/src/main/.libs/ -lgimpprint -lXt#g" \ This doesnt adhere to the $BUILD_PREFIX standard and should be changed to something that works.
This is ok since it's only for the dynamical linking process and it's the only way to make this succeed.
Yes this bug is most definitely valid. I dont use /var/tmp/portage for my build-tree, I use /mnt/reiser/build, which is on a different disk than /var is, and your patch will fail on all systems that don't have /var/tmp/portage/ for its temp path.
Ok, didn't think about that. But since you know the reason and how to resolve it, why don't you just fix it and commit the fixed version. You're a developer, right?
Mostly because as of yet I haven't gotten cvs and all such things onto my 1.0 system :) Will fix, assigning to me.
Fixed patch updated, didn't change the ebuild revision as this isn't anything that requires a user to rebuild it in any way.
