When trying to compile graphvia 1.12-r1, the compile fails because the configure script can not find graphviz-1.12-configure.ac.bz2 (i.e. it's not downloaded). Downloading the requested file and placing it in distfiles allows the compile to complete successfully. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: Should download all required files for successful compilation, or give the user a message telling them they must download some part themselves (i.e. as Java ebuilds do)
This file exists on the distfiles mirrors, it just needs to get added to the SRC_URI. Sorry for not providing a patch, but im not sure what format Gentoo wants them in. Changing SRC_URI to this will fix it: SRC_URI="http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/ARCHIVE/${P}.tar.gz mirror://gentoo/graphviz-1.12-configure.ac.bz2"
Fixed in portage.
