The default ebuild replaces the path to the key configuration file (dainput.ini) with ~/.dainput.ini . ~ being a shell construct, daphne can't resolve this name. The sed construct in the ebuild should be replaced with a call to getenv("HOME") and path concatenation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure that ~/.dapinput.ini exists: arcade@wombat arcade $ ls ~/.dapinput.ini /home/arcade/.dapinput.ini 2. run daphne with strace arcade@wombat arcade $ strace -eopen -oopen.log /usr/games/bin/daphne ...... 3. Verify that ~/.dapinput.ini can't be opened arcade@wombat arcade $ grep dapinput.ini open.log ... open("~/.dapinput.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... Actual Results: Daphne can't read its configuration file, continuing work with the compiled-in default key settings. Expected Results: The key configuration should have been opened and read.

Reason for marking this a major problem: I have daphne in my keyboardless arcade box. Without the ability to dynamically remap the key codes, I have to recompile my special version for my specific button settings.
wow, i'm an idiot should be fixed in -r1
