I was planning to use the latest hg snapshot of v4l-dvb's sources, and I came across v4l-dvb-hg in portage, so I thought I'd take advantage of it instead. The program downloads the latest hg repository of the software, then immediately presents a long string of errors and cancels the emerge. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge v4l-dvb-hg 2. 3. Actual Results: Here's the build.log from the failed emerge -------------------------------- Due to its length, please see attached text file.
