[gentoo-portage-dev] possible bug with 2.1 alpha?

[gentoo-portage-dev] possible bug with 2.1 alpha?

All,

I am working on a new ebuild, and having trouble getting the install phase
to work.  I am using portage 2.1 alpha and I believe ${D} has a trailing "/"
and that is the cause of the problem.

I'm posting here because I'm not sure whether I am making proper use of DESTDIR
or if this is a bug, and I don't want to post to the bug unless it is a bug. :-)

Here is an exerpt from the makefile for the package:

BINARIES = speakupcfg speakupctl
INSTALL = install
PREFIX = /usr

all: $(BINARIES)

install: all
	$(INSTALL) $(BINARIES) $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin

Here is an exerpt from the ebuild:

src_install() {
	make DESTDIR=${D} install || die "Install Failed"
	dodoc COPYING Changelog README
}

Here is an exerpt from the output from emerge:

>>> Unpacking source...

Should this be posted to the bug for 2.1 alpha?

In the future I'd suggest posting it on bugszilla anyway, not everyone
who could ascertain if it's a bug reads this list.  If it's not a bug it
will be marked as such, no harm, no foul.  Some developers utilize
bugs.gentoo.org as their communications channel to users ( along with
IRC of course ) and aren't subscribed to many lists.

Does it work in stable portage?

Seems that it simply lacks creation of the target directory.
I would either add an "$(INSTALL) -d $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin" in the
makefile, or workaround it with a "dodir /usr/bin" in the ebuild.
But i don't think it's related to portage CVS.
