Description Sergei Trofimovich 2021-08-30 11:56:41 UTC

Noticed when packaged sys-apps/nix-9999::slyfox.

Due to gentoo-specific lowdown-0.8.4-configure.patch patch lowdown.a is dropped (and no lowdown.so is provided). As a result /usr/include/lowdown.h and /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/lowdown.pc are unusable.

I suggest either restoring lowdown.a or adding lowdown.so like nixpkgs does: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/typesetting/lowdown/shared.patch

Here is my attempt: https://github.com/trofi/nix-guix-gentoo/blob/master/app-text/lowdown/lowdown-0.8.4-r2.ebuild

In general, it's best left to bug wranglers to CC as necessary or unnecessary mail ends up generated. Of course, you're welcome to be able to assign the bugs yourself if you wish ;)

Thanks for the report!
