The patch will also stop installation if an already installed version is detected (by looking for the dir). This is to stop things getting messy. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 16935 [details, diff] phpmyadmin.patch
I'll fix it since I maintain phpmyadmin.
Now in CVS. Thanks Ian.
Ian, this patch has reopened a bug (<A HREF="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20642">20642</A>) in this ebuild, which was filed and resolved. Can find the cause and my arguments against DocumentRoot buildtime guessing in <A HREF="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30607">webapp.eclass discussion</A> (which I confused with webapp-apache.eclass).
Ouch, no html interpreting :P /me votes for a preview button a la slashdot (obviously joking).
Thanks for the notice. Hopefuly once the new webapp.eclass is ready and the ebuilds have been ported, the chance for bugs like this will be reduced.
