The new ebuild has a src_prepare that does: mv "${DISTDIR}"/${P}.el "${WORKDIR}"/${PN}.el There are a few problems with this: - It's in src_prepare, while it might as well be in src_unpack (the default unpack ends up doing nothing anyway because it doesn't know how to handle .el files). - It's missing "|| die "mv failed"" - It doesn't actually work on my system, because $DISTDIR is: drwxr-xr-x 2 root portage 4096 Aug 9 13:59 /var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/lua-mode-20100617/distdir That is: DISTDIR is a separate root-owned directory containing symlinks to the actual source files, and the portage user has no write access to it. Proposed solution (untested): S="${WORKDIR}" src_unpack() { cp "${DISTDIR}"/${P}.el "${WORKDIR}"/${PN}.el || die "cp failed" } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -1 lua-mode Actual Results: >>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/lua-mode-20100617/work ... mv: cannot move `/var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/lua-mode-20100617/distdir/lua-mode-20100617.el' to `/var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/lua-mode-20100617/work/lua-mode.el': Permission denied >>> Source prepared. >>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/lua-mode-20100617/work ... >>> Source configured. >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/lua-mode-20100617/work ... * Compiling GNU Emacs Elisp files ... >>Error occurred processing *.el: File error (("Opening input file" "no such file or directory" "/var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/lua-mode-20100617/work/*.el")) * elisp-compile: batch-byte-compile failed Expected Results: Upgrade lua-mode.
