The following ebuilds/eclasses are using the almost deprecated gnuconfig_update function from gnuconfig.eclass: ./sci-chemistry/ccp4/ccp4-6.0.1.ebuild: gnuconfig_update ./sci-chemistry/ccp4/ccp4-6.0.1-r1.ebuild: gnuconfig_update ./sci-chemistry/ccp4/ccp4-6.0.2.ebuild: gnuconfig_update This might be due by various reasons, and some of them cannot be worked around at the current time, so please find your case in the following list: * the ebuild does not use econf, but ./configure, because it uses a very old version of autoconf that does not support the parameters we pass; [1] * the software use config.{guess,sub} although not using autotools, thus econf cannot be used; [1] * the ebuild uses ./configure just for fun; [2] * the ebuild uses ../configure or variants thereof to run a different configure script than the one in the current directory; [3] * the ebuild uses an autogen script or some other autotools-rebuilding script that calls ./configure; [4] * the ebuild calls ./configure because it's doing an inline-build of another package. [1] Then see the procedure to handle this bug: [1] You cannot drop gnuconfig_update, so please leave the bug open, but set the status whiteboard to "Waiting autoepatch". [2] Fix the ebuild, use econf! [3] econf accepts a ECONF_SOURCE variable to tell it to run the configure found in another directory; to run ../configure just use ECONF_SOURCE=".." econf. [4] Fix your autotools with http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml adnd then use econf. Once you're using econf, it will take care of updating gnuconfig by itself. Thanks from Diego and Mike
This is a particularly fun case. The top-level configure is a custom script, but it runs other configure scripts that are autotools-based.
it builds without calling gnuconfig_uppdate, but as expected neither config.sub nor config.guess got updated in the subdirs. Cannot judge how important this really is.
Can we get some progress here? It kinda sucks to have eclass 'dead' yet still used for 3+ years.
this package stopped using gnuconfig_update years ago (2012 by the history)
(In reply to SpanKY from comment #4) > this package stopped using gnuconfig_update years ago (2012 by the history) it's sci-chemistry/ccp4-apps these days.
