Created attachment 451776 [details] contains a patch for the ebuild, the missing man files, and the output of emerge --info Hi, I'm starting some active development with Gazebo and I ran into two issues: 1) Navigating in a menu caused a crash. The error was that freeimage didn't have png support which ogre expected. 2) I couldn't fetch the source package from the included SRC_URI until I switched it to https, and then the package was missing all the man gz files. Attached is a patch to sci-electronics/gazebo-7.4.0.ebuild that corrects both issues (along with the output of emerge --info and the man files). I just manually copies the man files to the right place but I'm sure there's a better way of doing that. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I will be working with Gazebo a lot over the next few months and do not mind assisting with maintenance or adding new features. Thanks!

Avinesh, You may wish to check out the proxy-maintainers project (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers), but first call should go to Alexis in this instance as he's the current contact for this package. If you can visit IRC (https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/irc-channels/), you can contact him direct, or via email and this bug. Cheers!

Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.3, Repoman-2.3.1 should be all set, thanks! except for the manpages: they are built properly here. it needs ronn, which is ruby, so maybe there is a problem with your ruby install on your system.
