Firstly, I don't support, nor like the CVS ebuild. This is why I'm releasing snapshot ebuilds into Portage.
Secondly, Isaac don't call the ebuild broken for calling make on the sub directories when YOUR own online documentation provides those instructions. The reason for this is your continued insistance on using qmake (which is a broken system). Now if you stopped trying to insult Gentoo for 5 minutes, you'd see that YOUR own documentation says you need to do this if you increase the number of jobs that make can do. Using a proper build system it would ensure that the depends are built at the right times and functions in parallel. Thirdly, if you want any support on anything the first thing you hear in the official channel by Isaac or ANY of the other developers is "Run the latest CVS and then report back." And since Gentoo actually has a GOOD package management system that users want to use rather then installing software without it being managed by a package manager. Lastly, I have begun work on converting MythTV over to autotools. Except to see this on the mailing list in the future, however Isaac has already taken the time to insult me and make it abundantly clear it won't be accepted. But hey, it's my choice to persue it... gotta love open source. If any Gentoo users are interested in working with me on the autotools support, feel free to contact me on Freenode and /msg Cardoe. or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Doug Goldstein http://dev.gentoo.org/~cardoe/ Gentoo's MythTV maintainer On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 17:37:42 -0500, Jeremiah Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 26 Jan 2005, at 5:05 PM, Ed Wildgoose wrote: > > >> The ebuild is broken if it specifies each directory to compile > >> manually.
