When building app-text/kbibtex-9999 from the kde overlay, the build stops with an error about missing 'version.h'. This seems due to gentoo not including .svn directories. Upstream modified the build system to allow a different way to set the revision and provided a modification to the ebuild. The following should be appended (with corrected indentation, of course): src_configure() { if [[ ${PV} = 9999 ]] ; then SVN_PATH="${ESVN_STORE_DIR}/${ESVN_PROJECT}/${ESVN_REPO_URI##*/}" export SVN_REV=`svnversion ${SVN_PATH}` fi kde4-base_src_configure } I tested this, and it works for me. Reproducible: Always
I guess the comparison operator should be ${PV} = *9999* to cover cases like version 0.4.9999 for the stable branch in SVN (see bug 401585 for details)

Both forms make an effective build. Actually, if [[ ${PV} == *9999* ]] appears preferred
I can't replicate the error either. If you still have this issue, please attach build.log.
Thx Chris & Ian. I cant reproduce it by myself. I think this is issue is solved by upstream. So no ebuild changes are needed.
