The gentoo.diff for lincvs is missing or not needed anymore... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -vu lincvs Actual Results: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-util/lincvs-1.3.0_rc2 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) lincvs-1.3.0-rc2-generic-src.tgz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking lincvs-1.3.0-rc2-generic-src.tgz to /var/tmp/portage/lincvs-1.3.0_rc2/work >>> Source unpacked. * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE! Value for $EPATCH_SOURCE is: * * /usr/portage/dev-util/lincvs/files/lincvs-1.3.0-rc2-gentoo.diff !!! ERROR: dev-util/lincvs-1.3.0_rc2 failed. !!! Function epatch, Line 214, Exitcode 0 !!! Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!
Simple workaround: cd /usr/portage/dev-utils/lincvs/files cp lincvs-1.2.0-gentoo.diff lincvs-1.3.0-rc2-gentoo.diff This works because "diff from v.1.2 has only to be renamed" (#35636)
i tried renaming the diff as suggested but the emerge process failed with several hundred sandbox violations for /usr/qt/3/settings.
Jason: Could you close this bug report and have a look at Bug 37997 please!?
i can't close it cause i didn't create this bug. i did post the above comment before the bug you mentioned even existed though... will try the solution in the other bug.
Sorry Jason. ;) Joel or some Dev. Close this bug please.
