gpsbabel-1.4.4 build log with faulty shapelib install
This is probably a duplicate of https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431540 , but I'm better at diagnosing than the tinderbox. Agreed and confirmed. shapelib does not install needed headers for gpsbabel (at least). Scratch that. I just took a look at the shapelib ebuild and it contains instructions to install the header. My local install didn't have the header (no idea why). So i just re-emerged and now all is fine. @Christian: You describe the expected course of events for someone experiencing this bug. If you look closely at the cvs log, you'll find that the ebuild didn't install the headers from Thu Aug 2 23:24:26 2012, when it was first created, to Sun Aug 5 21:53:55 2012. That means anyone on ~amd64, ~ppc or ~x86 who had shapelib installed and updated their system during that 3-day window got faulty installs missing the headers, and will only get the headers installed when shapelib is reinstalled manually or updated to a new version or revision. In my opinion, and I believe according to policy, this problem should have been avoided by increasing the revision number of the ebuild when it was modified since the ebuild change modifies what is installed to the user's filesystem. Everyone who had updated to the faulty ebuild would have had to rebuild it anyway, and increasing the revision number would have had no cost. What makes this more complicated is the amount of time that has passed, which means many people now have fully working shapelib installs, and don't need to rebuild it. commit: ec4f4a51d580398ea382a606d911f0a3aca68379 URL: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=ec4f4a51 sci-libs/shapelib: 1.4.0 version bump, switch to autotools I guess this qualifies as a revbump, so that this can be resolved fixed now. *** Bug 456404 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
