Bug 94629 – Fresh install of kde-3.4.1 fetches wrong distfile if useflag 'kdexdeltas' is set

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jean-Christophe Choisy 2005-05-31 08:21:29 UTC]

I noticed this morning that kde-3.4.1 was out and available through portage. 
Started emerging 'kdebase-startkde' with the 'kdexdeltas' useflag set. 
Strangely, kdelibs and arts installed perfectly, but when it arrives at the 
stage where it would merge kdebase components (like kcminit or ksplashml), 
portage fetches 'kdebase-3.4.0.tar.bz2' and then fails since it can't really 
find the files it wants in kdebase-3.4.1/.

'USE=-xdeltas emerge -f kdebase-startkde' fetches the right kdebase-3.4.1.tar.
bz2 file, so I guess it's a problem with how the eclass manages the xdelta 
functionality.

This is my first bug report, I hope it's decent.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set USE=kdexdeltas
2. emerge -f kdebase-startkde (not an upgrade, it's a fresh install)

Actual Results:  
Portage fetches the wrong distfile and fails

Expected Results:  
Portage should fetch kdebase-3.4.1.tar.bz2, not kdebase-3.4.0.tar.bz2

For what it's worth, in /usr/portage/eclass/kde-meta.eclass there's a comment 
saying:

   # xdeltas break off at first stable version, since most people
   # don't have prerelease tarballs handy

So I guess 3.4.1 cannot be installed using kdexdeltas?!

It was just a typo around those lines, should be fixed now (sync in about an 
hour).
