dev-tex/latex-beamer/latex-beamer-3.56-r1.ebuild: dosym "${ED}/usr/share/doc/${P}/doc/" "${TEXMF}/doc/latex/beamer" dev-tex/latex-beamer/latex-beamer-3.57.ebuild: dosym "${ED}/usr/share/doc/${P}/doc/" "${TEXMF}/doc/latex/beamer" Problems with above dosym commands: 1. Initial ${D} or ${ED} is unnecessary in first argument (target of symbolic link), and PMS-compliant package managers will issue QA notice. PMS (https://projects.gentoo.org/pms/7/pms.html#x1-14800013.4.1): """ 13.4.1 Rewriting Any absolute symlink whose link starts with D must be rewritten with the leading D removed. The package manager should issue a notice when doing this. """ 2. Target of symbolic link could be made relative, instead of absolute. Solution: dosym "../../../doc/${P}/doc" "${TEXMF}/doc/latex/beamer"
3. Documentation is actually installed in ${ED}/usr/share/doc/${PF}/... instead of ${ED}/usr/share/doc/${P}/... so ${PF} should be used. ${P} == latex-beamer-3.56 ${PF} == latex-beamer-3.56-r1 Solution: dosym "../../../doc/${PF}/doc" "${TEXMF}/doc/latex/beamer"
It seems that the similar bug 699492 was fixed. Could this be done here as well?
Commit eb30b00cebafbc898fe5e6b6fb77f9baddd1e443 (https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=eb30b00cebafbc898fe5e6b6fb77f9baddd1e443) was made, but ebuilds are still broken. 3 ".." components are needed at the beginning of target of symbolic link, not just one.
