Bug 263712 – dev-libs/dbxml-2.4.16.1 fail to build (patch phase)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Guido Jäkel 2009-03-25 11:11:26 UTC]

Dear Tiziano,

today i want to use this ebuild, but it failed while applying the "official" patch file, because it is delivered (meanwhile or a mistake?) with DOS-style-lineends causing patch to miss the patterns.

I don't know if there is a smart prebuild solution inside the ebuild framework for this; i inserted a simple "sed-inliner". I'll attach this ebuild.

Created attachment 186220 [details]
adapted ebuild

Convert the official dbxml patch file 2.6.4.1 from DOS to Unix style

Thanks for your report and the patch Guido but DevRel isn't the right address for it.

Unlocking and moving to the maintainer.

Dear Peter,
thank you; that's exactly the "smart solution" ;)
