Description Paul Preney 2018-05-01 15:21:49 UTC
Building nano-2.9.6 installs files outside the prefix, e.g., from a Gentoo Prefix installation attempt:

 * QA Notice: the following files are outside of the prefix:
 * /trash
 * /trash/nanorc.5.html
 * /trash/faq.html
 * /trash/nano.html
 * /trash/nano.1.html
 * /trash/rnano.1.html
 * ERROR: app-editors/nano-2.9.6::gentoo failed:
 *   Aborting due to QA concerns: there are files installed outside the prefix

The issue is fixed by changing nano-2.9.6.ebuild's src_configure() section, i.e.,

src_configure() {
  use static && append-ldflags -static
  local myconf=(
    --bindir="${EPREFIX}"/bin
    --htmldir=/trash
    $(use_enable !minimal color)
    $(use_enable !minimal multibuffer)
    $(use_enable !minimal nanorc)
    --disable-wrapping-as-root
    $(use_enable magic libmagic)
[snip]

so that the bare path:

    --htmldir=/trash

is changed to have an EPREFIX:

    --htmldir="${EPREFIX}"/trash

:-)
Comment 1 Sammy Pfeiffer 2018-05-02 08:16:05 UTC
This blocks the actual bootstrapping of Gentoo Prefix.

Until fixed upstream, a quick workaround (for anyone that got blocked like me):


echo ">app-editors/nano-2.9.5" >> $EPREFIX/etc/portage/package.mask


And execute the bootstrap.sh script again, answering the questions in the same way as before.
