The most recent version of distcc in Portage is 3.2_rc1 which was released 3 years ago in October 2011. Not long ago, I learned from the author that Distcc is no longer being actively devoloped, but it is still being maintained, and bug fixes are still being committed. The most recent version at this time is currently revision 796 committed July 28, 2014. Please add a git snapshot for Distcc to Portage. Reproducible: Always
A live ebuild (-9999) would also be an option here, too.
Created attachment 455184 [details] distcc-9999.ebuild Here is a live ebuild based on sys-devel/distcc-3.2_rc1-r4.ebuild. It builds successfully on amd64 and arm as of 5 Dec 2016. This ebuild automatically applies PR#182[1] from upstream if (and only if) PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7". PR#182 reverts an unnecessary new hard dependency on Python 3 that was merged upstream on 25 Apr 2016 from PR#177[2]. The patch is not applied if PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET specifies a version of Python 3.
