Description alexandre 2007-08-06 23:12:05 UTC

First time installation of x11-wm/xmonad-darcs fails when fetching XMonadContrib with :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Unpacking source...
/var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/xmonad-darcs-0/work /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/xmonad-darcs-0/work
 * Running darcs get --partial --set-scripts-executable --repo-name=xmonad/XMonadContrib http://darcs.haskell.org/~sjanssen/XMonadContrib
darcs: xmonad/XMonadContrib: createDirectory: does not exist (No such file or directory)
ERROR: x11-wm/xmonad-darcs-0 failed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If i manually 'mkdir /var/distfiles/darcs-src/xmonad' before emerge then the XMonadContrib is fetched but it fails later on xmonad fetch :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Fetching darcs repository http://darcs.haskell.org/~sjanssen/xmonad into /var/distfiles/darcs-src...
/var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/xmonad-darcs-0/work /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/xmonad-darcs-0/work
 * Running darcs get --partial --set-scripts-executable --repo-name=xmonad http://darcs.haskell.org/~sjanssen/xmonad

darcs failed:  Directory or file named 'xmonad' already exists.
 * ERROR: x11-wm/xmonad-darcs-0 failed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

workaround : First time, install with '-extensions -savedconfig' then restore 'extensions savedconfig' USE flags and emerge x11-wm/xmonad-darcs again.

I think 'darcs.eclass' doesnt like the xmonad/XMonadContrib neste directories.

Regards and thanks for this overlay,
Alexandre
