40 I don't know what you mean by this: "there is no alsa" use flag
41 ~$ grep alsa tvtime-1.0.2_p20110131-r3.ebuild
42
43 http://dev.gentoo.org/~a3li/distfiles/${PN}-1.0.2-alsamixer-r1.patch
44 http://dev.gentoo.org/~a3li/distfiles/${PN}-1.0.2-alsa-r1.patch
45 http://dev.gentoo.org/~a3li/distfiles/${PN}-1.0.2-alsa-fixes.patch"
46 IUSE="alsa nls xinerama"
47 alsa? ( media-libs/alsa-lib )
48 if use alsa; then
49 epatch "${DISTDIR}/${PN}-1.0.2-alsa-r1.patch"
50 epatch "${DISTDIR}/${PN}-1.0.2-alsamixer-r1.patch"
51 epatch "${DISTDIR}/${PN}-1.0.2-alsa-fixes.patch"
52
53 So there is an "alsa" use flag and it does apply quite a lot of
54 patches in there. So the open bug is not fixed yet. Could you have a
55 look?
56 As for the automate thing. Yes it builds with the latest one so I
57 closed the bug.
