[gentoo-user] emerging procmail failure

[gentoo-user] emerging procmail failure

[Harry Putnam]

setup:
  kernel-2.6.29-r2
  gcc-4.3.2-r3
procmail is one tool that is absolutely robust and I expected no
trouble whatever emerging it... however the emerge is failing like
as shown below.  I'm not sure what to do about getline.

The only useflags that come up are one I set 
 `mbox' 
and one other
 `-selenix'

Yes... except _OH CRAP_ I've forgotten whatever little tiny skill I once
had to add a patch into the emerge process manually.

Or dink around with sed inside as another poster on the bug
did... also manually.

Any URL where I can beef up on that a bit?

Doesn't any manual patching have to be done in an overlay?  My own
portage setup.  Then stepped thru with ebuild to get it accepted by
emerge?

I see no hits at all on either `overlay' or `layman' in man ebuild.
There must be more to the story than just running ebuild commands. And
expect the modified ebuild to be accepted by emerge.

That's because the instruction should have been man 5 ebuild. You're
looking at the man page for the ebuild command.

Sorry, I was thinking you would apply the patch manually as a
one-off... which you could do by unpacking using the ebuild command,
applying patch, then compiling/merging it. If you want to make your
own ebuild then yes you'd most likely want to put it in an overlay.

Just in case another intellectually challenged gentoo user happens to
be searching for nuts and bolts of creating a custom ebuild.  I looked
up a previous thread I started here in Nov 2008, with 

  Subject: Nots and bolts of creating an ebuild

where some brief outlines of how to do it are provided by David R and
Daniel P.

See it on gmane here:

Just do a less on
/usr/portage/mail-filter/procmail/procmail-3.22-r10.ebuild and you'll
see a good example.

Cheers.
