Description Howard B. Golden 2012-01-14 21:18:14 UTC

The present version of the x11-libs/libxcb-1.8 ebuild fails to build with the following message:

!!! ERROR in x11-libs/libxcb-1.8::gentoo:
!!! In autotools-utils_src_install at line 1599
!!! directories in docdir require at least EAPI 4

Changing EAPI=3 to EAPI=4 in the ebuild leads to a successful build.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ebuild x11-libs/libxcb
Actual Results:  
See error above.

Expected Results:  
Successful build.

I use cave rather than portage, but the problem is clearly in the ebuild.

This was a bug in the autotools-utils.eclass, used by xorg-2.eclass, used by libxcb-1.8.ebuild:

20:13 <+CIA-12> mgorny * gentoo-x86/eclass/ (ChangeLog autotools-utils.eclass): Replace the docdir-directory error with a warning.

Wait an hour or so, and "emerge --sync"
