I could not emerge gnomesword-2.1.7 due to this bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1535122&group_id=5528&atid=105528 I fixed it by patching src_unpack() with this line: sed -i 's:ed->:ec->:g' ${S}/src/gnome2/commentary_dialog.c
Created attachment 93602 [details, diff] patch for gnomesword-2.1.7.ebuild
Patch now in portage, and thank you muchly for informing the upstream devs!
