Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-05 01:48:42 UTC
The following ebuilds/eclasses are using the almost deprecated gnuconfig_update function from gnuconfig.eclass:

./app-cdr/gcombust/gcombust-0.1.55-r1.ebuild:   gnuconfig_update
./app-cdr/gcombust/gcombust-0.1.55.ebuild:      gnuconfig_update


This might be due by various reasons, and some of them cannot be worked around at the current time, so please find your case in the following list:

* the ebuild does not use econf, but ./configure, because it uses a very old version of autoconf that does not support the parameters we pass; [1]
* the software use config.{guess,sub} although not using autotools, thus econf cannot be used; [1]
* the ebuild uses ./configure just for fun; [2]
* the ebuild uses ../configure or variants thereof to run a different configure script than the one in the current directory; [3]
* the ebuild uses an autogen script or some other autotools-rebuilding script that calls ./configure; [4]
* the ebuild calls ./configure because it's doing an inline-build of another package. [1]

Then see the procedure to handle this bug:

[1] You cannot drop gnuconfig_update, so please leave the bug open, but set the status whiteboard to "Waiting autoepatch".
[2] Fix the ebuild, use econf!
[3] econf accepts a ECONF_SOURCE variable to tell it to run the configure found in another directory; to run ../configure just use ECONF_SOURCE=".." econf.
[4] Fix your autotools with http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml adnd then use econf.

Once you're using econf, it will take care of updating gnuconfig by itself.

Thanks from Diego and Mike

I think we should remove this package instead of fixing it. It as dead upstream and it's very old. What Do you think pylon ?
Comment 2 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-06 20:00:39 UTC
Yep, drop it.  The only legacy-application that I want to maintain is xcdroast.  But there are already a lot of nice graphical CD-burn-applications out there now.

gcombust has been removed from the tree.
