This is somwehat cleaned up, but now there are other errors with both 0.7-r1 and 0.8 /usr/lib/portage/bin/dodoc: CHANGELOG does not exist. /usr/lib/portage/bin/dodoc: COPYRIGHT does not exist. /usr/lib/portage/bin/dodoc: KNOWN_BUGS does not exist. /usr/lib/portage/bin/dodoc: MAINTAINERS does not exist. /usr/lib/portage/bin/dodoc: CONTRIBUTORS does not exist. /usr/lib/portage/bin/dodoc: LICENSE does not exist. /usr/lib/portage/bin/dodoc: COPYING* does not exist. /usr/lib/portage/bin/dodoc: Change* does not exist. install: `demo' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.8/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.8/demo: No such file or directory
PyXML-0.7.1 is the currently unmasked version AND PyXML-0.8.1 has just been added to portage, marked as unstable (~) for testing emerge rsync emerge PyXML Also, what version of portage are you using? I don't get the same error messages when I build PyXML 0.7.1 or 0.8.1.
PyXML 0.7.1 and 0.8.1 install properly. The dodoc error messages are because the eclass inherited looks for a bunch of documents which this packages does not have. Its a warning message that can be safely ignored. I don't think this one package warrants a change in the whole eclass as nothing is broken by those messages.
