Bug 160035 – net-libs/courier-authlib : broken autotools handling (cleanup ebuilds please)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2007-01-04 10:42:03 UTC]

The following ebuilds are found to have broken autotools handling, as they run libtoolize directly (they never should, instead they should call eautoreconf in autotools.eclass, read http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml for more information):

./net-libs/courier-authlib/courier-authlib-0.53.ebuild:         libtoolize --copy --force
./net-libs/courier-authlib/courier-authlib-0.53.ebuild:         libtoolize --copy --force

./net-libs/courier-authlib/courier-authlib-0.57-r2.ebuild:              libtoolize --copy --force
./net-libs/courier-authlib/courier-authlib-0.57-r2.ebuild:              libtoolize --copy --force
./net-libs/courier-authlib/courier-authlib-0.57.20051116.ebuild:                libtoolize --copy --force
./net-libs/courier-authlib/courier-authlib-0.57.20051116.ebuild:                libtoolize --copy --force
./net-libs/courier-authlib/courier-authlib-0.57.ebuild:         libtoolize --copy --force
./net-libs/courier-authlib/courier-authlib-0.57.ebuild:         libtoolize --copy --force

Please cleanup the ebuilds by asking for stable marking, removing obsolete ebuilds with no relevant keywords, or porting the fixes in newer versions (if presents) to properly handle autotools.

Thanks,
Diego

Is that this error?

Only 0.58 and 0.58-r1 left in the tree -> FIXED.
