The netatalk-1.6.2 and netatalk-1.6.3 ebuild files contain the configure option --with-db3. However in the netatalk-1.6.2 and netatalk-1.6.3 source tarballs this option is not available. There are --with-cdb (for the CNID scheme) and --with-bdb=PATH (for the path to the Berkeley DB installation.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
The correct options are econf \ --enable-fhs \ --with-shadow \ --with-bdb=/usr \ ${myconf} || die "netatalk configure failed" Best of all, this change means that both netatalk-1.6.2 and netatalk-1.6.3 compile with either db3 or db4, which will close http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26772
I don't know who maintains netatalk, but it is not me. I don't use appletalk at all, nor do I have the desire to do so (I don't have an apple), if no maintainer stands up and cvs is working again I will try to commit the fixes though, but would not mind at all if someone else does it.
fixed in CVS.
