As per the website, socat-1.6.0 was released on the 6th. The configure script may have been changed; copying over the 1.4.3.1 ebuild and removing the version-specific patches produce the following: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/socat-1.6.0.0 ... !!! ERROR: net-misc/socat-1.6.0.0 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1614: Called dyn_compile ebuild.sh, line 971: Called qa_call 'src_compile' environment, line 3139: Called src_compile socat-1.6.0.0.ebuild, line 29: Called econf '--enable-openssl' '--enable-readline' '--disable-ip6' '--enable-libwrap' ebuild.sh, line 580: Called die !!! no configure script found
Actually, the configure problem comes from this line: S="${WORKDIR}/socat-${PV:0:3}" Socat now extracts to ${P} instead of socat-${PV:0:3}. Remove the line and the ebuild will be able to cd to the right directory and run the configure script. It will then compile and install fine.
thanks; socat-1.6 was bumped by dragonheart yesterday
