tracker for package being broken with new sys-apps/texinfo.

Comment 1 Max Steel 2013-04-04 12:58:11 UTC

Bug #464008 should be in here too. (gcc compile breaks with texinfo-5.1)

Comment 2 Zoltan Puskas 2013-04-17 18:11:50 UTC

Please add to depencency <a href="https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465536">Bug #465536</a>

Comment 3 Daniel Schulte 2013-09-29 08:23:34 UTC

It look like bug 463260 needs to be added here as well

Comment 4 Daniel Schulte 2013-09-29 08:33:49 UTC

Disregard my earlier comment (#3) the correct bug is bug 465064

Same as in #484794: I propagated the "fix" from 4.3  - forcing <texinfo-5.1 in DEPEND. Should fix this issue for now (plus, as it is a compile-time only requirement, it is trivial to work around even if some other package forces >=texinfo-5.1).
Still, I'll try to add a newer version of gnat-gcc soon (that actually supports new texinfo)

Comment 6 Martin von Gagern 2013-11-23 19:49:21 UTC

Why has this tracker been closed FIXED while some of the bugs it depends on are still open? Could this be a mistake, and if not, what is the rationale?

Talking of which, will you consider this bug fixed if all packages which don't compile against texinfo 5 have a corresponding DEPEND in their ebuild? If so, is there some kind of follow-up tracker to keep track of the removal of such dependencies, so that one day we can get all packages up to texinfo 5 standards?

texinfo-5.2 is stable now, so this bug has served its purpose
