Hiya, I just tried building file-5.34 with python support, and got the following during the python build phase: make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/file-5.34/work/file-5.34-abi_x86_64.amd64' * python2_7: running distutils-r1_run_phase distutils-r1_python_compile python2.7 setup.py build Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 7, in <module> with open('README.md', 'r') as fh: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'README.md' Investigating this, it appears to from the following line in the ebuild: # don't let python README kill main README #60043 mv python/README.md README.python.md || die Which in 5.33-r4 read: # don't let python README kill main README #60043 mv python/README{,.python} || die So the first issue is the file is now moved to ${S} rather than ${S}/python, the second is that the references to it (in setup.py and the various automake files) don't include the change from README.md to README.python.md. It turns out that only the python README is now a .md file, which means that the whole line could be removed and install the README and README.md without overlap. However, in case they change the main readme to markdown, it might still be worth renaming the file. In that case, the code would also need patching as well as simply doing the rename in the ebuild, to ensure that the python readme is properly named and installs correctly. Let me know if you need any further information...
