Description Stuart Shelton 2009-09-28 16:44:17 UTC 
rarian's rarian-sk-update utility tries to unconditionally use the 'getopt' command in a bash script.

Unfortunately, this will not be available on prefix platforms due to a lack of 'util-linux', which provides it.

If there isn't a platform 'getopt' which is GNU-compatible, then this utility (which is called during the build process) fails.

The simplest solution might be to alter this package to depend on app-misc/getopt, and then change all references from 'getopt' to 'getopt-long'...

Looks as if rarian's usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update is also affected.

Ignore me - it's a symlink to the same file ;)

We are sorry to close this bug.  We lack the man-power and devotion to support mips-irix in the tree.
