Description David King 2003-07-22 06:00:19 UTC

I've been trying to update the  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
On a system where the Perforce command line client (p4) and the new graphical 
interface (p4v) is installed: 
 
1. emerge perl-5.8.0-r12 
Actual Results:  
The tar.gz for perl-5.8.0-r12 is sucessfully found (perl-5.8.0.tar.gz appears in 
/usr/portage/distfiles/), but when the ebuild goes looking for the patches it fails. 

Expected Results:  
perl-5.8.0-r12 found and merged. 

When the patch fails the following file is generated: 
 
</usr/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.0-r12/temp/perl-5.8.0-sockatmark-should-__THROW.patch-2303.out>

patch: **** Can't get file perl.h from Perforce 
 
On this machine the perforce root directory lives in /store/perforce and the client has 
read/write access to all files in this directory. Perforce is corerctly set-up and working, 
so any requests will go to the central Perforce server. Since this server knows nothing 
about Gentoo, I assume this is why the merge fails. Any requests to an external 
Perforce server will also be blocked by our firewall.

Comment 1 David King 2003-07-24 10:24:36 UTC

The problem appears to be the patch command trying to get missing files from Perforce. Setting the environment variable PATCH_GET=0 disables this behaviour, and the ebuild installs correctly.

Comment 2 David King 2003-07-24 10:27:45 UTC

The problem appears to be the behaviour of the patch command when Perforce is installed. Setting the environment variable PATCH_GET=0 stops patch trying to get files via Perforce, and the ebuild installs normally.
