Bug 283722 – media-tv/xbmc-9999 fails due to upstream no longer including autotools in svn

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Kevin 2009-09-05 07:40:43 UTC]

When trying to emerge media-tv/xbmc-9999 the package dies while trying to configure due to a invalid path. I'm guessing something in the upstream SVN repository has changed that the ebuild was handling?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge xbmc-9999

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
The package should be able to configure.
