emerald-0.8.2 fails to emerge (Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE)

[patrikh]

Hello,

My ~x86 system wanted to update to emerald/compiz 0.8.2 today, but emerald failed to emerge:

Code: Select all

>>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/emerald-0.8.2/work
>>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/emerald-0.8.2/work/emerald-0.8.2 ...

 * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!  Value for $EPATCH_SOURCE is:
 * 
 *   /usr/portage/x11-wm/emerald/files/emerald-ru.po.patch
 *   ( emerald-ru.po.patch )

 * 
 * ERROR: x11-wm/emerald-0.8.2 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   48:  Called src_prepare
 *             environment, line 2110:  Called epatch '/usr/portage/x11-wm/emerald/files/emerald-ru.po.patch'
 *             environment, line 1024:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *                   die "Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!";

I only have a emerald-0.7.8-ru.po.patch in /usr/portage/x11-wm/emerald/files. emerge --sync didn't make the error go away.

Is anyone able to help on this?

Thanks in advance

This worked for me:

Change src_prepare in emerald-0.8.2.ebuild to look like this:

Code: Select all

src_prepare() {
        #epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PN}-ru.po.patch"
        :
}

And then run this:

Code: Select all

ebuild emerald-0.8.2.ebuild digest

It's a hack, but at least it got me 0.8.2
