I understand the underlying principle of not wanting to tread over other peoples territory.. but in reality we're talking about typos and small build fixes. If these cannot be immediately fixed and need a developer conference to resolve.. then well.. Good Luck when the portage tree reaches several thousand packages. Is there no interest in fixing old stuff or what? 1. the dev-lang/php/* ebuilds are erroneously referencing a *specific revision* of freetype-1 in the DEPEND line. These lines should have the = replaced with >= or better yet the new ~ syntax makes sense here. 2. The exact same bug is present in the media-libs/libgd ebuild. It needs to say >= freetype-1-r1 not =freetype-1-r1 The bugs are particulary nasty because the latest -r of freetype-1 in the portage tree is r2, which I had on my system, but emerge --pretend php revealed that freetype would be downgraded to -r1. Is this not a pretty clear case of a typo? It sure seems like one to me. 3. The minicom ebuild in the tree doesnt build complaining of a bad ko.mo file. I dont know if gettext-0.10.39 would solve the problem, but even as of the latest rc6 build image, 0.10.38 is being used. If somebody will add this quick hack/fix to the bottom of minicom's src_unpack, it will at least compile and install: cp po/Makefile po/Makefile.orig cat po/Makefile.orig | sed -e "s:ko.mo: :" > po/Makefile 4. The x11-wm/bbkeys ebuild is badly broken. Im afraid it needs to be reworked.. some parts are just plain wrong. For example the part where it tries to use DESTDIR for a Makefile that doesnt have such a construct. Its only 1 bin for that part anyway. I have a working one, which Ill post to gentoo-ebuild. Most of this could have been fixed in 5 mins had somebody showed interest in doing so. Instead typos need a formal report? I dont mean to sound overly sarcastic, but surely we neednt go though this excercise in order to get a few small bugs tidied up. Regards Woodchip
