Bug 66705 – Automake & Autoconf ebuilds deleted

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description wizard 2004-10-07 16:50:28 UTC]

The Stable & older automake and autoconf ebuilds have been deleted without any notice.

verified this on 2 different gentoo systems, with different rsync times.

a non rsynced gentoo host contains the following files in $portdir/sys-devel/automake :

sphynx automake # ls -l
total 154
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  9737 Sep  3 21:40 ChangeLog
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  2579 Sep  3 21:40 Manifest
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  7868 Jul 15 05:15 automake-1.6.1-r6.ebuild

-rw-r--r--  1 root root   164 Dec  9  2003 metadata.xml
sphynx automake # 

a rsynced one contains only:

casper automake # ls -l
total 40
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  9737 Sep  3 21:40 ChangeLog
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   977 Oct  6 20:10 Manifest

-rw-r--r--  1 root root   164 Dec  9  2003 metadata.xml
casper automake # 

please fix this ASAP.

Why do you need the older ebuilds ? automake-1.8.5-r1 and autoconf-2.59-r4 are (and have been for over a month) stable on all archs, so technically there is no need for the older ebuilds.

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2004-10-08 10:42:22 UTC]

automake and autoconf have 1 ebuild each now

those ebuilds have all arches stable

i dont see the bug
