Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-10-27 13:36:32 UTC 
There is no reason the xemacs ebuilds should call export on setting WANT_AUTOCONF, and it severely pollutes the environment.
Comment 1 Mats Lidell gentoo-dev 2014-10-27 23:28:18 UTC 
OK. I'll prepare new ebuilds for 21.4 and 21.5 with export removed.
Comment 2 Mats Lidell gentoo-dev 2014-10-28 19:01:23 UTC 
Ebuilds xemacs-21.4.22-r4.ebuild and xemacs-21.5.34-r2.ebuild are updated and have been committed. 

xemacs-21.5.34-r2.ebuild will be subject to stabilization request later this week unless some problems are reported. This is due to bug 475658.
Comment 3 Mats Lidell gentoo-dev 2014-12-14 23:01:43 UTC 
It was xemacs-21.4.22-r4.ebuild that was subject to stabilization. (I erroneously mentioned xemacs-21.5.34-r2.ebuild as a candidate for stabilization. The 21.5 is still beta from upstream and is not ready for stabilization yet.)

Anyway. As mentioned, xemacs-21.4.22-r4.ebuild is now stable and xemacs-21.5.34-r2.ebuild is in the tree.
Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-12-16 23:21:10 UTC 
You don't appear to realize what exporting variables in the global scope of an ebuild does. I'm pretty sure I was asked about precisely that problem in one of the quizzes, but that was a long time ago.

I've fixed it for you now.
