Created attachment 417348 [details, diff] harmless-gnome2-stderr-spew-fix.patch Fixes stderr-spew in webkit-gtk-2.8.5, like (whitespace manipulated for legibility): >>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.8.5/work/webkitgtk-2.8.5 ... * Applying webkit-gtk-2.8.5-fix-ia64-build.patch ... [ ok ] * Applying webkit-gtk-2.8.5-fix-alpha-build.patch ... [ ok ] * Applying webkit-gtk-2.8.5-webkit2gtkinjectedbundle-j1.patch ... [ ok ] * Fixing OMF Makefiles ... [ ok ] * Disabling deprecation warnings ... > grep: configure: No such file or directory [ ok ] >>> Source prepared. The message appears to be completely harmless manifestation of a probably (and, in the above instance, actually) harmless circumstance. But it's as useless as harmless and distracting. After some good old-fashioned O(log(lines-of-potentially-culpable-source-code)) track-downification this turned out to be coming from gnome2-utils.eclass's gnome2_disable_deprecation_warning, which simply assumed there would be a configure file to grep, probably failing to fail erroneously,.... erroneously. Whatever... it's late.... famous last words, probably, but, just trust me: the code is wrong & this makes it right.
As explained on the PR, this is should be treated as part of bug #448822. Adding a check like this for just one file does not make much sense when 90% of the files are there as found by find in the first place. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 448822 ***
