erlang-23.0.4:20210321-015459.log

buildlog

[Comment 2 Alessandro Barbieri 2021-03-21 02:11:49 UTC]

also fails with bash

[Comment 3 Ionen Wolkens 2021-03-21 10:52:14 UTC]

It's an autoconf:2.71 issue in 23.0.4, 23.2.3 isn't affected.

Unsure, but is 23.0.x branch due for cleanup as well? (bug #765796)

[Comment 4 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2021-03-21 11:42:10 UTC]

Yeah, once net-misc/rabbitmq-server-3.8.14 gets stanle it will unblock a cleanup of older erlang.

[Comment 5 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2021-07-05 06:14:15 UTC]

All ::gentoo versions should work.
