Created attachment 907976 [details, diff] freecad-9999-Gentoo-specific-don-t-check-vcs.patch freecad-9999 is built from git sources, at compile time it is possible to detect the git revision used to build (without internet access). The current patch freecad-9999-Gentoo-specific-don-t-check-vcs.patch disables that possibility, this results in the following startup banner: FreeCAD 1.1.0, Libs: 1.1.0devRUnknown (C) 2001-2024 FreeCAD contributors -azz FreeCAD is free and open-source software licensed under the terms of LGPL2+ license. By relaxing the patch with the attached version I can get FreeCAD 1.1.0, Libs: 1.1.0devR39132 (Git) (C) 2001-2024 FreeCAD contributors FreeCAD is free and open-source software licensed under the terms of LGPL2+ license. This helps when reporting bugs upstream. Please note that the 1.0_rc* ebuilds use the same patch but in that case it is the wanted behaviour due to absence of .git files in ${S}. So there must be two different patches to support both 1.0_rc* and 9999 ebuilds.
