Created attachment 378272 [details, diff] Patch for dev-db/couchdb/ couchdb's configure script only allows building against Erlang versions older than R17. However, this restriction was placed before the release of Erlang R17 and was only meant as a general future-proofing. It turned out there are no actual incompabilites (confirmed by own test and by upstream). Therefore this restriction can be raised, as the attached patch does. (Side note: I decided to do it the "proper" way and to patch configure.ac, but one could apply a nearly identical patch directly to configure and therefore avoid the additional dependency on sys-devel/autoconf-archive).
Created attachment 378274 [details, diff] Patch for the couchdb ebuild Hmm, perhaps that patch format (directory patch) is suboptimal, so I split it up into the ebuild patch and the newly-created patch file.
Created attachment 378276 [details, diff] Patch for couchdb, to be placed in files/
Can you hold out for a few more days while I push out couchdb-1.6.0 instead? :)
(In reply to Dirkjan Ochtman from comment #3) > Can you hold out for a few more days while I push out couchdb-1.6.0 instead? > :) I sure can, somehow that didn't cross my mind when filing the bug. IIRC, 1.6.0 is supposed to be released end of next week.
I'm the RM for 1.6.0, so I'll be keeping close watch. :) I think it will go out on Monday (at night for you and me).
Huh, I didn't know you actually were "upstream". Anyway, I'm closing this bug now.
I'm reopening this as the bumped ebuild still specifies the old version limit in its deps.
Ah, sorry about that. Should work now.
