The Makefile.PL file for XML-GDOME-0.83 has this code: eval { print "running gdome-config... "; my $ver = backtick('gdome-config --version'); my ($major, $minor, $point) = $ver =~ /(\d+).(\d+)\.(\d+)/g; die "VERSION" unless $major == 0 && $minor == 7 && $point >= 2; $config{LIBS} ||= backtick('gdome-config --libs'); $config{INC} ||= backtick('gdome-config --cflags'); print "ok\n"; }; The ebuild reports that it needs 'at least' v 0.7.2, but it is checking for EXACTLY 0.7.x, instead of 'at least'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
By the way - if I fix this to use >= instead of ==, how can I do the emerge? Do I have to build a package myself with the fix, or can I go to the /var/tmp/portage/xxx directory and build it myself?
ebuild has been corrected. would need confirmation that it actually works with a later version of the library before attempting to modify the module itself (and by then, it'll probably be out upstream as well ;) )
