Zero-day bump requests are annoying, but I've taken the liberty of cleaning up the old ebuild and updating the "add root option" patch. This version provides proper 2.5 support and a bunch of installation script fixes. Hopefully this'll clear up bug #148726.
Created attachment 104829 [details, diff] dev-python/4suite-1.0.2.ebuild.patch fixes: pythonlibdir typo (was pythonlibbdir) documentation installation (1.0.2 installs with option --with-docs by default)
Created attachment 104830 [details, diff] files/1.0.2-add-root-opt.patch updated patch for adding root option
Created attachment 104832 [details, diff] 4suite-1.0.2.ebuild.patch It looks like upstream resolved the distutils root option issue since 1.0_beta3 so the root patch is no longer needed. without a patch "python setup.py --help install" shows the root option. this patch is same as comment #1 but with patch removed.
Please, continue in the pending bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 150385 ***
