app-text/skribe doesn't die if ./configure fails. Why doesn't it use econf?

Comment 1 Cyprien Nicolas (fulax) 2010-09-12 08:47:13 UTC

I think the same comment as for dev-scheme/bigloo or dev-scheme/hop can apply. Upstream doesn't want to hear about autoconf, the ./configure statement only miss 

|| die "configure failed"

AFAIK, the package is currently not maintained, so patches for econf compatibility won't be merged upstream

Change committed.
Thanks tove for reporting. As Cyprien said, this should go fixed with the || die. Until someone tooks skribe development, there's not much else to do.
