Description László Szalma 2012-06-17 17:57:24 UTC

fresh install from stage3 image, changing to ~amd64 and emerge -auvDN world failes because perl would be installed later by the dependencies. I think rsync needs perl to be build, especially the version in the title. I'm not sure if other versions too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -uv rsync

Actual Results:  
rsync fails to build.

Expected Results:  
rsync to be built.

Installing dev-libs/perl

the mkproto.pl usage is not necessary.  better to fix the build to not require perl at all.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!

    net-misc/rsync: remove workaround for bug 421625
    
    mkproto was rewritten in awk, so calling perl is no longer a concern.
    This may also resolve a parallel make race condition.
