New version of app-emacs/ess-5.3.10 available (see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2008-December/005034.html ) Straight forward version bump works fine Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cp /usr/portage/app-emacs/ess-5.3.8.ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-emacs/ess/ess-5.3.10.ebuild 2. ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-emacs/ess/ess-5.3.10.ebuild digest 3. emerge -u app-emacs/ess Actual Results: Installs fine Expected Results: Installs fine
Thanks, bumped to 5.3.10. > Straight forward version bump works fine Almost. ;-) There are some changes with respect to installation of the documentation. See the diff between the 5.3.8 and 5.3.10 ebuilds for details. Also, the package's build system (doc/Makefile, target "install-other-docs") fails to create the $(DOCDIR)/html and $(DOCDIR)/refcard directories: cp -p html/ess.html html/readme.html /var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/ess-5.3.10/image//usr/share/doc/ess-5.3.10/html cp: target `/var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/ess-5.3.10/image//usr/share/doc/ess-5.3.10/html' is not a directory make[1]: *** [install-other-docs] Error 1 Neil: I've added a workaround for this to the ebuild, but may I ask you to report this problem upstream?

Possibly stems from the person who made the changes not having much experience in Makefile (as they admit in their post). > Also, the package's build system (doc/Makefile, target "install-other-docs") > fails to create the $(DOCDIR)/html and $(DOCDIR)/refcard directories: > > cp -p html/ess.html html/readme.html > /var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/ess-5.3.10/image//usr/share/doc/ess-5.3.10/html > cp: target > `/var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/ess-5.3.10/image//usr/share/doc/ess-5.3.10/html' is > not a directory > make[1]: *** [install-other-docs] Error 1 > > Neil: I've added a workaround for this to the ebuild, but may I ask you to > report this problem upstream? Again apologies, was doing this remotely over ssh and left it running whilst I got on with work, blithely assumed that because the emerge completed succesfully that everything was ok. Not a problem though, will let them know and feedback here if there is anything of significance (although I'd imagine it will likely just be added to the next release).

"make install" continues after the error and even returns a good status. This should be fixed, too. (The reason is that the main Makefile uses a "for" loop for the subdirectories, which ignores the return status of the sub-makes.) > Not a problem though, will let them know and feedback here if there is > anything of significance (although I'd imagine it will likely just be added > to the next release). That would be fine. No need to do anything for 5.3.10, but we shouldn't keep the workaround forever.
(In reply to comment #3) Bit late in replying, but this is now sorted in CVS. See thread at https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2008-December/005063.html

However, it looks like the following problem is still present in <http://svn.r-project.org/ESS/trunk/Makefile>: (In reply to comment #3) > "make install" continues after the error and even returns a good status.
