Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

einstall is a kludge that is supposed to be used only when DESTDIR is not supported

einstall causes sandbox violation (both 0.3.5 and 0.3.6).

Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev

i assume you mean `make install DESTDIR=$D` causes sandbox violations

in that case, the package should be patched and the patch sent upstream

some pointers:
- po/Makefile.in.in:
the 'install-data-yes' make target should work on '$(DESTDIR)$(datadir)' instead of '$(datadir)' and update the 'destdir=...' assignment  to look like 'destdir=$(DESTDIR)...'
- data/Makefile.{am,in}:
the 'install' make target should probably not even exist, the default 'install' target should handle the installation of the data files just fine if one uses the variable name 'pkgconfig_DATA' instead of 'data'

Fixed in CVS and the patch sent to upstream.
