Created attachment 536296 [details, diff] remove installation of patents.txt Apparently the last patent issues documented in mesa upstream's docs/patents.txt has been resolved by the space-time-continuum, and thus upstream removed the file. Portage is not too happy since dodoc explicitly installs this file, so attached you'll find a patch removing this from the ebuild, so mesa-9999 builds again. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/portage/python2.7/doins.py", line 611, in <module> sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:])) File "/usr/lib/portage/python2.7/doins.py", line 602, in main os.path.dirname(source)): File "/usr/lib/portage/python2.7/doins.py", line 450, in _doins return install_runner.install_file(source, os.path.dirname(dest)) File "/usr/lib/portage/python2.7/doins.py", line 386, in install_file return self._ins_runner.run(source, dest_dir) File "/usr/lib/portage/python2.7/doins.py", line 195, in run sstat = os.stat(source) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'docs/patents.txt' * ERROR: media-libs/mesa-9999::gentoo failed (install phase): * dodoc failed
I fixed this with commit 9dab5e51498c81043e88aae21c74ff51988340e4 Author: Matt Turner <mattst88@gentoo.org> Date: Mon Jun 11 17:58:08 2018 -0700 media-libs/mesa: Remove now unnecessary bindist flag The patent expired! See upstream commit 66673bef941a (mesa: Unconditionally enable floating-point textures)
