Bug 4024 – portsentry-1.1-r6 doesnt build

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas Westin 2002-06-22 09:22:14 UTC]

When emerging portsentry it tries to do some modifications on 3 config files before compile, but these fail and the files are left empty and thus portsentry doesn't compile.

can you paste the error?

Here it is, its because the portsentry_config.h file is empty.

I'm not sure why portsentry_config.h would be empty. I've been unable to produce
a situation that would cause that file to be empty upon 'unpack'.

However, there is something else:

Supersed is listed as a dependancy, but it never gets put to use within the
ebuild because of a typo. In src_unpack() there are three 'sed' lines which
should be 'ssed'. Otherwise, portsentry_config.h, portsentry.conf, and
ignore.csh will not get patched properly.

Ironicly, you can fix the ebuilds seds with supersed:

ssed -i "s:sed:ssed:" portsentry-1,1-r6.ebuild

lots of bugs lately...

no rewards for woodchip making woodchip less
interested lately...

Andreas: Doesn't -r7 work either? This looks like an old and fixed bug, so I'm closing it. Reopen if it's still b0rked.

Joachim: It works fine, this was fixed a long time ago.
