Bug 192923 (WANT_AUTOCONF-broken) – [TRACKER] Ebuilds using invalid WANT_AUTOCONF setting (causing dependency on INCORRECT-WANT_AUTOCONF-SETTING-IN-EBUILD)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Nico R. 2007-09-18 14:00:00 UTC]

The following ebuild files have a WANT_AUTOCONF setting that is not going to work. Please review and fix them.


Typo, should be WANT_AUTOCONF=latest:

dev-db/postgis/postgis-1.2.0.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="lastest"


Wrong version specification, should be WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5:

sys-libs/libieee1284/libieee1284-0.2.8.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF=2.58
(handled in bug 192892)

net-libs/wvstreams/wvstreams-4.3-r2.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF=2.59
net-libs/wvstreams/wvstreams-4.4.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF=2.59
dev-embedded/uisp/uisp-20050103.ebuild:       export WANT_AUTOCONF=2.57 WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7

media-gfx/imagemagick/imagemagick-6.3.3.ebuild:#WANT_AUTOCONF=2.59
(Commented out, so this will not trigger a bug at the moment, but it is invalid anyway.)


Wrong version specification, details unknown. Either this should be changed to WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5 or to WANT_AUTOCONF=latest, or maybe, *maybe*, autotools.eclass needs to be adapted to allow WANT_AUTOCONF=2.6[1]. (Since I am not a maintainer of the following packages, I do not know if WANT_AUTOCONF was set to these values for a specific reason.)

x11-misc/glipper/glipper-0.95.1-r1.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="2.6"
x11-misc/glipper/glipper-0.95.1.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="2.6"

app-editors/emacs-cvs/emacs-cvs-22.1.50-r1.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="2.61"
app-editors/emacs-cvs/emacs-cvs-23.0.0-r7.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="2.61"
app-editors/emacs-cvs/emacs-cvs-23.0.50.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="2.61"
app-editors/emacs-cvs/emacs-cvs-22.1.50_p20070829.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="2.61"
app-editors/emacs/emacs-22.1-r1.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="2.61"
app-editors/emacs/emacs-22.1.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="2.61"


Wrong version specification, no idea what this should be or how it should be handled. Package maintainers/testers should review/test the use of WANT_AUTOCONF here. It seems to me that WANT_AUTOMAKE might have been meant instead.

dev-libs/libstroke/libstroke-0.5.1.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF=1.9
x11-plugins/wmclockmon/wmclockmon-0.8.0-r1.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="1.4"
x11-libs/agg/agg-2.5.ebuild:WANT_AUTOCONF="1.10"

I am said that my new bug #192942 may be dup of this; if it's the case, maint should consider my report as a complement of infos and logs.

[Comment 7 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) 2007-09-18 18:56:33 UTC]

net-libs/wvstreams has been fixed.

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2007-09-18 22:38:15 UTC]

by the by, jumbo bugs suck ... proper procedure is to make one tracker bug and then file individual bugs for each package assigned to the appropriate maintainer

[Comment 9 Ulrich Müller 2007-09-18 22:58:55 UTC]

app-editors/emacs{,-cvs} fixed.

[Comment 10 Nico R. 2007-09-19 07:11:50 UTC]

Changing summary as per <URL:http://viewcvs.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/eclass/autotools.eclass?r1=1.67&r2=1.68>.

This is a TRACKER bug.
Please see the bugs blocking this bug for individual packages and their ebuild file issues!

[Comment 11 Nico R. 2007-09-19 07:50:35 UTC]

Individual bugs have been created for all ebuilds mentioned in comment 0 which have not yet been fixed. This bug depends on all those individual bugs.
