Bug 153174 – emerging "emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r?" fails, because HEAD is 22.0.90

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Axel Dyks 2006-10-28 13:04:41 UTC]

Note: The build fails during "(dyn_)install" and not during upstream's build procedure.

I'll attach my "emacs-cvs-22.0.90.ebuild" which is simply a copy of the
"22.0.50-r3" ebuild with SLOT set to "22.0.90".
(... and an emacs-22.0.90.desktop file)

Furthermore I'm a little confused that "emacs-cvs" is build in "/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/..." (and is then deleted entirely)

Or is this "by design" for cvs builds?

Uhm? Everything is being built in PORTAGE_TMPDIR (and deleted after merge)

[Comment 4 Axel Dyks 2006-10-29 01:32:09 UTC]

... obviously the behaviour has been changed in recent versions of portage

The build directory used to be for example

  ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/vim-6.3-r4

and has not been deleted entirely after finishing the build,
i. e. the "temp" folder remained.

Whereas now the build directory is

  ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/app-editors/vim-7.0.17

and is entirely removed after finishing the build.

So, I will delete a lot of (obsolete) folders after
"emerge --update --newuse world" has completed. :-)

The "emacs-cvs" issue should be addressed anyway, i. e.
independent of this (interesting) off-topic discussion.

Changed it so that the .desktop file is generated.

Thanks, this was petty fast!
