Created attachment 302977 [details] the build log Testing the packages. This test fail is fixable but I don't know how to get the newly acquired package untarred into the source. Testing HTMLparser : 32 of 38 functions ... Testing HTMLtree : 18 of 18 functions ... ---------------------------------------------- xmlconf/xmlconf.xml is missing you need to fetch and extract the latest XML Conformance Test Suites http://www.w3.org/XML/Test/xmlts20080205.tar.gz see http://www.w3.org/XML/Test/ for informations Ran 0 tests, no errors Total 0 tests, no errors localhost logs # find /var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.8-r5/work/libxml2-2.7.8/ -name xmlconf not present Having acquired an updated vesrion of the file, xmlts20080827.tar idella@localhost ~ $ tar -xf xmlts20080827.tar idella@localhost ~ $ ls xmlconf/ eduni files ibm japanese oasis sun testcases.dtd xmlconf.xml xmltest Here is our missing xmlconf.xml To the ebuild, I added; XSTS_TARBALL_3="http://www.w3.org/XML/Test/xmlts20080827.tar" (It comes in both .tar and .tar.gz) SRC_URI="ftp://xmlsoft.org/${PN}/${P}.tar.gz test? ( ${XSTS_HOME}/${XSTS_NAME_1}/${XSTS_TARBALL_1} ${XSTS_HOME}/${XSTS_NAME_2}/${XSTS_TARBALL_2} ${XSTS_TARBALL_3} )" (The already present XSTS_HOME="http://www.w3.org/XML/2004/xml-schema-test-suite" is a different site) This I am not practiced enough to get quite right. All need be done is to get the xmlts20080827.tar to be unpacked in the source. Then at least the xmlconf/xmlconf.xml will be present and it should then pass. It may not like the xmlts20080827.tar and want a xmlts20080827.tar.gz, I haven't tried.
hmmm, seems I figured it. Two occasions in one day. My guess is emerge =dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.8-r5 initially failed with test set. Thereafter I used ebuild libxml2-2.7.8-r5 clean test from in the portage tree. The file I am sure still requires adding to the ebuild. With test set, emerge =dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.8-r5 now is effective. >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.8-r5 >>> Installing (1 of 1) dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.8-r5 I have a log saved. /home/idella/logs//build//dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.8-r5:20120223-150341.log if desired
If this is still relevant with >=libxml2-2.9.1-r4, please reopen.
