portage bug `?

[Comment 3 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2003-07-28 10:13:45 UTC]

Nope. As much as I like to blame portage, this isn't a portage problem. Please emerge sync again, this was corrected about an hour ago.

carpaski - sorry about that last one :)

[Comment 5 Dewet Diener 2003-07-28 11:53:22 UTC]

Thanks -- I resync'ed, and it emerged without problem now. 

[Comment 6 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2003-07-29 08:58:27 UTC]

all in a day's mess up for me :)

[Comment 7 Wayne Davison 2003-09-23 11:01:25 UTC]

This is not fixed, at least, not without using a more modern MakeMaker. The error may be gone, but the use of "DESTDIR" with older versions of MakeMaker does not work, and the resulting build gets _merged_ into the portage tmp dir, not the system's destination dir, and thus the installed files have no effect on how perl runs.

The proper fix is leave DESTDIR unset and to add PERLPREFIX=${D}/usr to the list of variables in the "make". This ensures that the packlist files get put into the temporary image dirs. I'll attach a patch.

NOTE:  This fix is needed for 6.13 and 6.15 as well.  While you're at it, you may want to add an ebuild for 6.16.

Fix the installation to go into the right dir and not have a write error.

Use this to fix 6.11, 6.13, and 6.15.

[Comment 10 Wayne Davison 2003-09-23 11:22:25 UTC]

Since this bug was already closed, I created a new one that targets the subject of the latest ebuild failure -- the files getting installed into the wrong dirs. So, leave this one closed, and refer to bug 29447 if you want to see the new one.
