Description Matt 2009-08-12 12:03:46 UTC
during compilation and installation there weren't any errors (there are also none in the log):

error message is as follows (it asked me to report it in bgo - so here I am ;) ):

 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            fine but exhibit random runtime failures.
 * rss-ui.c:477: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘ephy_embed_get_location’

 * 
 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            but will almost certainly crash on 64bit architectures.
 * 
 * Function `ephy_embed_get_location' implicitly converted to pointer at rss-ui.c:477
 * 
 *  Please file a bug about this at http://bugs.gentoo.org/
 *  with the maintaining herd of the package.
 * 
 * 
 * ERROR: www-client/epiphany-extensions-2.27.4 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *       misc-functions.sh, line 730:  Called install_qa_check
 *       misc-functions.sh, line 422:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *   				die "install aborted due to" \
 *  The die message:
 *   install aborted due to poor programming practices shown above
 * 
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/log/portage/www-client:epiphany-extensions-2.27.4:20090812-115450.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/www-client/epiphany-extensions-2.27.4/temp/environment'.
 * This ebuild is from an overlay named 'gnome-new': '/usr/gentoo/overlays/gnome-new/'
 * 
!!! post install failed; exiting.

the ebuild is from gnome-overlay from:
git://github.com/uzytkownik/gnome-overlay.git

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge epiphany-extensions
2. watch "shit" scroll by ...
3. compiles fine but spits out error message and therefore doesn't merge 

Actual Results:  
it fails to merge and most probably would crash heavily when installed

Expected Results:  
it should merge fine and the above mentioned problem should be tackled / fixed

thanks :)

the ebuild is from gnome-overlay from:
git://github.com/uzytkownik/gnome-overlay.git

 -> that's not gnome overlay so it's not supported, please we really are not interested in getting reports for this kind of QA for dev cycles, please forward this report to upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/
