Description Chris Eads 2010-08-29 19:04:33 UTC
There's an upstream bug in media-video/mkvtoolnix-4.2.0, so I decided to try my hand at making an ebuild for the git repo (where it's already fixed) instead of downgrading or worse, direct injection via hand rolling.

Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a big deal, except the upstream developer is moving away from make/autotools and toward rake for the build system, starting with the next tagged release. As he's already using it in the live repo, this ebuild contains the changes necessary to build under the new system, since unless I'm mistaken there's no eclass for rake functions yet. Fortunately it seems to behave almost exactly like make, so the old ways work, just not with the eclass versions of calls.

Note: There is a version of rake included in the repo, and presumably the upcoming tarballs for new versions, though this ebuild doesn't use it, instead DEPENDing on rake. Theoretically this could be changed to DEPEND on just ruby and run that, though this may not be advisable.

Further: at the moment, the qt4 functionality doesn't compile, and upstream has suggested that it is very low priority to fix, so while the USE flag is still available, it probably shouldn't be enabled.

Reproducible: Always

A live ebuild is now in the tree.
