Description Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2010-01-05 00:38:58 UTC 
Apparently the current git version of xf86-input-synaptics no longer includes an INSTALL doc file, so DOCS="INSTALL TODO README" causes a dodoc failure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =xf86-input-synaptics-9999
Actual Results:  
!!! dodoc: INSTALL does not exist
 * ERROR: x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-9999 failed:
 *   dodoc failed
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line   54:  Called src_install
 *   environment, line 4370:  Called x-modular-r2_src_install
 *   environment, line 5293:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *           dodoc ${DOCS} || die "dodoc failed";
 * 


Expected Results:  
successful emerge

Upstream fscked up the xorg m4 macros versioning. Please reemerge util-macros-9999 and you'll be fine.

Thanks

This was indeed only temporary breakage that was fixed, thus resolving as fixed.
