As the summary states, this ebuild has no src_install function, resulting in the program compiling, but then never installing anything.
Just becuse there are no src_install() in the ebuild doesnt mean the package isn't installed. I just tried to merge it and it installs the file according to /var/db/pkg/net-p2p/qtella-0.5.3-r1/CONTENTS.
Well, according to the CONTENTS file, nothing was installed, so the package merges correctly, because its an empty package. I can find no 'make all' type command in the qtella .ebuild file. I have tried deleting my net-p2p/qtella directory and emerge rsync to ensure that I did not get a corrupted ebuild file, but it still emerges as an empty package.
Could you do 'ebuild qtella-0.5.3-r1.ebuild install' and then 'ebuild qtella-0.5.3-r1.ebuild merge' and post the output of the last command here?
I entered the commands. This is what the second command outputs: >>> md5 ;-) qtella-0.5.3.tar.gz >>> Checking qtella-0.5.3.tar.gz's mtime... >>> WORKDIR is up-to-date, keeping... >>> It appears that qtella is already compiled. skipping. >>> (clean to force compilation) >>> Install qtella-0.5.3-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/qtella-0.5.3-r1/image/ category net-p2p strip: >>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/qtella-0.5.3-r1/image/ >>> Merging net-p2p/qtella-0.5.3-r1 to / >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> net-p2p/qtella-0.5.3-r1 merged.
Very strange.. after ebuild install, are there any files at all in /var/tmp/portage/qtella-0.5.3-r1/image/ ?
No, there aren't any files in the /var/tmp/portage/qtella-0.5.3-r1/image/ directory.
Could you output the log from ebuild .ebuild unpack?
I mean ebuild compile, sorry.
