When attempting to emerge FreeType 2.1.5, the download of ftdocs-2.1.5 does not work. This file is no longer available. Apparently this problem has been fixed in freetype-2.1.5-r1, but that package is not marked stable on x86. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge freetype-2.1.5 2. 3. Actual Results: Portage fails to download ftdocs-2.1.5.tar.bz2 and the emerge fails. Expected Results: Successful emerge of the freetype libs. emerge info output follows...

Also, freetype hasn't documented their use of the "doc"-use-flag. By disabling doc, which freetype doesn't seem to use (it's not in IUSE="") the process goes just fine. That IUSE has to be fixed, and/or the broken source.
argh, my mistake. The docs just aren't there and they shouldn't be in SRC_URI. They weren't but i accidently moved a diff in that looked for it. Please rsync & try again.
That seems to have gotten in. FreeType now successfully merges on stable x86. Thanks!
