Description Zeek 2004-04-15 10:22:55 UTC

Perl-Tk fails if Perforce binaries are installed because it tries to "edit" (check out) the file before applying the patch.  This is the same problem as http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40342  That bug has been closed however but the problem still exists.

A simple workaround is to set the PATCH_GET environment variable to 0 before running the emerge command, ie:

PATCH_GET=0 emerge perl-tk

This behavior is documented in the `patch` man page, look under the -g option.

Can this variable be set with the ebuild itself? Without reprecussions for non-perforce users of course :)
