Created attachment 23808 [details, diff] Patch for bootsplash-0.6-r3.ebuild to fix two errors in the ebuild
TaD is on hiatus -- do we have anyone who can pick up bootsplash bugs? This is a dep of genkernel 3.x, so it's fairly important that someone who knows something about bootsplash pick this up soonish.
I'll work on it first thing tomorrow. I think I can take care of the other bootsplash bugs as well.
I've just checked bootsplash-0.6-r3 on cvs and it is fine ie: has a } at the end and the ${S}/utils/fbmngplay is correct (see http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/media-gfx/bootsplash/bootsplash-0.6-r3.ebuild?rev=1.2&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup). Could you please try rsyncing from another mirror to see if maybe your local copy was corrupted.
I believe this is a rsync bug - a trailing newline at the end of the file after the last } in CVS could fix it permanently... not sure why it happens in the first place.
This is definitely a rsync issue. Could you tell us which rsync mirror were you using? (have a look at /var/log/emerge.log)
Sorry my emerge.log was deleted on friday. But I usually use the uk rsync mirror :)
Ok, I'm closing this as there does not seem to be anything more to fix or discuss.
