For some unknown reason, stgit tries to detect its own version from git during build. This, of course, never worked and has been explicitly disabled in the ebuild: # this will be a noop, as we are working with a tarball, # but throws git errors --> just get rid of it sed -i -e 's/version\.write_builtin_version()//' setup.py || die Unfortunately, the stgit-tarball (since 0.18?) does not include the required builtin_version.py anymore and hence reports 'unknown-version': $ stg --version Stacked GIT unknown-version $ equery f stgit | grep egg /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/stgit-unknown_version-py2.7.egg-info Proposals: 1.) Get upstream to fix this (cf https://github.com/ctmarinas/stgit/issues/25) 2.) Patch ebuild for the time being.
Created attachment 535548 [details, diff] Ebuild Patch to write the version file The patch above writes the builtin_version.py if it does not exist. Due to this check it should be future-proof, when upstream decides to create usefull tarballs. After patching: $ stg --version Stacked GIT 0.18 $ equery f stgit | grep egg /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/stgit-0.18-py2.7.egg-info
