sitecopy's emerge process complains about an ill-configured neon: >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-misc/sitecopy-0.16.0 to / >>> md5 files ;-) sitecopy-0.13.4-r2.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) sitecopy-0.16.0.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) sitecopy-0.15.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/sitecopy-0.14.1-nls.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/sitecopy-gcc3.4.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-sitecopy-0.13.4-r2 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-sitecopy-0.15.1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-sitecopy-0.16.0 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) sitecopy-0.16.0.tar.gz * gnome support has been disabled * until some major bugs can * be fixed regarding it! !!! ERROR: net-misc/sitecopy-0.16.0 failed. !!! Function pkg_setup, Line 41, Exitcode 1 !!! neon needs expat support !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. The strange thing is that if I enable expat support in neon, the very same ebuild explains that is needs expat support DISABLED as it was in the first place. Now what?
Here is the alternative version I mentioned above: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-misc/sitecopy-0.16.0 to / >>> md5 files ;-) sitecopy-0.13.4-r2.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) sitecopy-0.16.0.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) sitecopy-0.15.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/sitecopy-0.14.1-nls.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/sitecopy-gcc3.4.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-sitecopy-0.13.4-r2 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-sitecopy-0.15.1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-sitecopy-0.16.0 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) sitecopy-0.16.0.tar.gz * gnome support has been disabled * until some major bugs can * be fixed regarding it! !!!

emerge -pv sitecopy neon
[ebuild R ] net-misc/sitecopy-0.16.0 +expat -gssapi +nls -rsh +ssl -webdav +xml2* +zlib 0 kB [ebuild R ] net-misc/neon-0.24.7 +expat +ssl +zlib 0 kB Meanwhile, I got sitecopy to emerge by withdrawing the request for xml2 support: USE=-xml2 emerge sitecopy I guess, this issue is not really a bug. It were nice, however, if the ebuild could state that both expat and xml2 cannot be enabled at the same time. Thanks for your quick help!
Yah, I'll try and adjust the messages later. It's kind of annoying the way it works out with neon, but that's life in packaging I guess...
