I patch my xkeyboard-config to add my custom keyboard layout, so I need to recompile that package everytime i change that layout, but compilation always fails because it needs automake 1.15 which isn't pulled automatically when installing xkeyboard-config. Compiles fine when I explicitly install automake 1.15. Workaround: emerge -av1 automake:1.15 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -av1 xkeyboard-config Actual Results: Fails to build.

Created attachment 572238 [details, diff] user patch Oh, sorry, I thought it happens regardless of user patches but looks like I was wrong. It compiles fine without this patch. In that case I'm not sure whether it's a bug that should be fixed or should I just add automake:1.15 to my world file instead?
well, you're modifying Makefile.am which triggers maintainer-mode which triggers rebuild of Makefile.in and Makefile. If you can move that change over to Makefile.in your issue should be fixed.
You're right, I moved that change to Makefile.in and it compiles without automake:1.15. Thank you and sorry for creating this bug request, I thought it was a problem with the ebuild, but it was just my patch.
