Bug 255864 – kde-misc/knetworkmanager: automake called by maintainer-mode

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2009-01-22 00:35:00 UTC]

Hello,

You're receiving this canned (template-based) bug report because I found a problem with a package during my tinderbox run.

The package in question is running automake (and most likely other autotools) during compile phase by maintainer-mode. You can see in my blog post in the URL field why that's a problem, and how to address the issue, but in general, you don't want maintainer-mode rebuild during compile phase, especially since it can cause multiple run of econf.

The causes of maintainer-mode rebuild are various, but most likely it's because of a patch that changes Makefile.am or configure.ac/in and don't rebuild autotools properly. The way to fix this is almost always to inherit autotools eclass and run eautomake/eautoreconf (as needed; eautoconf should only be used when automake is not involved, which is not the case here) during src_unpack phase.

Thanks,
Diego

If knetworkmanager uses KDE's admin/ directory that's the wrong fix.

The correct fix would be rm -f "${S}/configure"

Now that networkmanagere-0.7 has been stabilized all the knetworkmanager [kde3] are going to have problems... Can you please review and integrate the fix?
