Description Bigos 2015-10-04 18:02:44 UTC

dev-util/perf currently depends on sys-devel/binutils. It should depend on sys-libs/binutils-libs instead since it uses the libbfd library.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Lucian Poston 2016-03-26 20:26:27 UTC

Created attachment 429070 [details, diff]
depend on binutils-libs

Comment 2 Lucian Poston 2016-03-26 20:28:46 UTC

Should add PATCH to Keywords field. I don't have permission to do so, for some reason.

Comment 3 Lucian Poston 2016-03-26 20:32:10 UTC

Also, should rev bump ebuild. Demangling won't work until perf is recompiled with binutils-lib installed and available to link against at build time.

Uploading correct patch file this time... (hopefully)

@naota, @dlan this ticket was assigned to you. Was that correct? 
There is already a patch suggested, but I could not see any response. Do you still maintain this package?
