www-apache/mod_perl-2.0.8 fails to emerge as posted here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7754788.html It seems to have an easy solution according to the error message (conf file missing... it should be 75_mod_perl.conf.2.2): * ERROR: www-apache/mod_perl-2.0.8::gentoo failed (install phase): * !!! newins: /usr/portage/www-apache/mod_perl/files/2.0.3/75_mod_perl.2.2.conf does not exist
The apache eclass (APACHE2_MOD_CONF) expects to find FILES with the .conf suffix. The mod_perl stable ebuild refers to a file that does not end in .conf but 2.2. Renaming the file in FILES should be enough.
mv /usr/portage/www-apache/mod_perl/files/2.0.3/75_mod_perl.conf.2.2 /usr/portage/www-apache/mod_perl/files/2.0.3/75_mod_perl.2.2.conf
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Rename the old mod_perl.conf to match the ebuild http://sources.gentoo.org/www-apache/mod_perl/files/2.0.3/75_mod_perl.2.2.conf?rev=1.1
