ebuild test run

Please post the output of 'emerge --info', preferably as an attachment. This doesn't seem to occur when I do a test run (see attached).

Comment 3 Sergey 'L29Ah' Alirzaev 2016-06-12 21:33:04 UTC

worky if `unset XDG_DATA_HOME` first

Comment 4 Maks Verver 2016-06-18 15:49:10 UTC

Seems like an obvious typo in the setup script. I suggested a fix upstream: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/1838/files

In the meantime, we can either patch this locally, or better yet, unset XDG_DATA_HOME in the ebuild (because the build shouldn't depend on the user's data directory in the first place).

Comment 5 Francesco Turco 2016-08-24 13:15:47 UTC

If I apply the github upstream fix then electrum's .desktop file will be installed in /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/electrum-2.6.4/homedir/.local/share/applications/electrum.desktop, which is wrong.

I ran with this src_compile and it seems to work now:

src_compile() {
    unset XDG_DATA_HOME
    default
}

Comment 7 Ad-min 2016-09-21 18:02:47 UTC

This bug still exists on ~amd64.

Comment 8 bugs 2016-12-27 17:51:39 UTC

the workaround of modifying the ebuild worked for me. thanks.  Needed ~x86 since current "stable" gentoo is too out of date to actually perform transactions.
