The beagle-0.3.9-r1 ebuild (just like the beagle-0.3.9 ebuild) runs sed on configure.in so that beagle can build against non-obsolete versions of Epiphany: sed -i -e 's:VALID_EPIPHANY_VERSIONS=":VALID_EPIPHANY_VERSIONS="2.26 2.25 2.24 :' configure.in || die "epiphany sed failed" Naturally, this operation must be followed by an autoreconf in order to regenerate configure from the new configure.in -- and this is, indeed, correctly handled in the 0.3.9 ebuild. When the ebuild was bumped to 0.3.9-r1, for unknown reasons, "inherit autotools" and "eautoreconf" were removed from the ebuild file. Which leads to the following configure errors: >>> Emerging (12 of 22) app-misc/beagle-0.3.9-r1 * beagle-0.3.9.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ...
