Bug 162515 – samba-3.0.22-r3 - missing swat directory

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

[Description Darren Miller 2007-01-17 11:13:18 UTC]

configure sequence references /usr/share/doc/samba-3.0.22-r3 as the swat directory however the simple fact of a missing swat directory prevents anything swat for working. since this was a fresh build I can only assume that swat directory is just missing from the ebuild.  I have managed to copy the swat directory from previous installed release on another server: samba-3.0.14a-r2 obviously it would be better to have the existance of the swat directory where it's supposed to be.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge/configure samba 
2.open browser http://hostname:901
3.ls -l /usr/share/doc/samba* check for existance of swat directory.

Actual Results:  
Page cannot be found in browser, swat directory doesn't exist in /usr/share/doc/samba*

Expected Results:  
existance of swat directory in /usr/share/doc/samba will return valid pages in a browser.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Note the use flags...

It always baffles me why previously default USE flags are removed for no apparent reason.  

Ok Cool, I'll throw swat into /etc/portage/package.use
