I can confirm this on my machine...
CVS snapshots are not the proper way to fix bugs. You should have extracted that patch (or used the one from bug 8607), and applied it during the unpack stage
Brian this has got nothing to do with bug 8607. it appears that metalog-0.8_pre20031130.tar.gz has some missing files, namely install-sh, and makefile.in, there may also be some other missing files. HTH
Imad That comment was to lanius, he's the one that added a cvs snapshot to fix a bug, which caused another one. It is (loose) Gentoo policy that cvs snapshots should stay in package.mask. There was no reason to commit a cvs snapshot to fix one minor bug.
Brian, I added ${S}/autogen.sh to the end of src_unpack(), it clean compiled. is that right?? TIA src_unpack() { unpack ${A} ; cd ${S} cd ${S}/src sed -i -e "s:/metalog.conf:/metalog/metalog.conf:g" \ metalog.h cd ${S}/man sed -i -e "s:/etc/metalog.conf:/etc/metalog/metalog.conf:g" \ metalog.8 ${S}/autogen.sh }
It looks like there's a wee typo in the ebuild: automake --add-missing -gnu should read: automake --add-missing --gnu
Works for me with the correction.
Brandy, your eyes are very sharp! automake --add-missing --gnu in src_compile() fixed it, many thanks
thx, fixed :)
*** Bug 34829 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
iggy: i made this cvs snapshot because metalog cvs hasn't been touched for about 6 month and the main dev said that this would be likely the 0.8 release.
iggy: this policy only applies to "live" cvs ebuilds
