Bug 699540 – sys-devel/gettext-0.20.1: missing conditional BDEPEND on git

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description David Michael 2019-11-07 16:17:06 UTC]

The build fails unless Git is installed on the host with USE=git.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --rage-clean dev-vcs/git
2. USE=git emerge sys-devel/gettext # with a sysroot configuration so DEPEND doesn't install Git on the host again
Actual Results:  
Making all in misc
make[4]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gettext-0.20.1/work/gettext-0.20.1-abi_x86_32.x86/gettext-tools/misc'
if test -f archive.dir.tar; then \
  inputfile=archive.dir.tar; \
else \
  inputfile='/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gettext-0.20.1/work/gettext-0.20.1/gettext-tools/misc'/archive.dir.tar; \
fi; \
./convert-archive dir git "$inputfile" archive.git.tar.gz
./convert-archive: line 332: git: command not found
./convert-archive: line 333: git: command not found
./convert-archive: line 334: git: command not found
./convert-archive: line 336: git: command not found
./convert-archive: line 337: git: command not found
./convert-archive: line 339: git: command not found
convert-archive: *** git init failed
convert-archive: *** Stop.
make[4]: *** [Makefile:2260: archive.git.tar.gz] Error 1

Expected Results:  
The package should build and install successfully.

Without USE=git, it uses the XZ-compressed archive, not the CVS archive, so CVS does not seem to be needed in BDEPEND.

The same failure happens with version 0.19, but I'm only reporting it against 0.20 since that has EAPI=7.
