Description ebnf 2002-12-26 21:13:36 UTC

Doing a from scratch build of 1.4_rc1 with ~x86, build dies due to lack of perl
trying to get sys-devel/automake-1.6.3, but sys-devel/perl-5.8.0-r7 requires
automake.  When I emerge sys-devel/perl-5.6.1-r10 first, I do not need automake,
so you just need to add that series of perl to the automake ebuilds so people
don't end up getting stuck.  Without ~x86, this does not occur, so it's just a
small snag for those of us who are really bleeding edge. 

In short:
sys-devel/perl-5.6.1-r10 -> sys-devel/automake-1.6.3 -> sys-devel/perl-5.8.0-r7

:)  Happy hacking.

Thanks for the pointer. I've added the depend to both the 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 ebuilds.

Okay, I guess that's that.
