Description Julian Ospald 2013-12-19 17:30:11 UTC
I'm aware of the upstream bug, but it says "fix committed" so we should push for deprecating this workaround. It also caused a build failure for me while trying to port games-board/pioneers to gnome-games.eclass.

The problem is that intltool upstream still didn't released a fixed version/tarball and, then, all games tarballs are still generated with wrong files from old/broken version. We need then to:
1. Get upstream to release a new version with the fix (I tried a lot without success)
2. Wait for the other upstreams to generate their tarballs with fixed version
Comment 2 Julian Ospald 2013-12-19 21:08:03 UTC
how does that make this bug report invalid?

> how does that make this bug report invalid?

Because it's run on purpose until the bug is solved as explained in comment #2, and it's with gnome-games.eclass, not gnome2.eclass (otherwise, where are you seeing that unconditional call in gnome2.eclass)
Comment 4 Julian Ospald 2013-12-19 21:13:39 UTC
Right, it's gnome-games.eclass

However, that still does not make the bug report INVALID.
Comment 5 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-12-19 21:14:04 UTC
upstream?
Comment 6 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-12-19 21:15:16 UTC
or "CANTFIX" (for now) :/, but I think we have better things than discussing the exact "term" to be used... CANTFIX looks better to me
Comment 7 Julian Ospald 2013-12-19 21:15:59 UTC
well... I guess we have conflicting workflows then. I use bug reports to TRACK progress and keep them open until the problem is actually FIXED and not "MAY BE FIXED SOME DAY".

Guess this was a waste of time then.

We will remember to drop that when we stop needing it ;), nobody wants to run eautoreconf forever if not needed
