Description Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester

git built like this:

[ebuild   R   ] dev-vcs/git-1.7.3.4-r1  USE="bash-completion blksha1 curl iconv subversion threads webdav -cgi -cvs -doc -emacs -gtk -perl (-ppcsha1) -tk -xinetd" 0 kB

give this error:

% git svn fetch
fatal: git was built without support for git-svn (NO_PERL=YesPlease).

the remedy is to rebuild git with USE=perl, in which case you also need subversion[perl] (which is already expressed in git's deps)

granted, I didn't read the ewarn in the ebuild. But I think this can be solved with EAPI=4 (required use), but that depends on (at least) python.eclass supporting eapi4
