I too came across this problem when dealing with another bug |
| 29 |
(games-emulation/ppsspp). A user filed a bug, complaining the ebuild wasn't |
| 30 |
installing the compiled binary in /usr/games and suggested it should inherit |
| 31 |
the games eclass: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572606#c12 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I wasn't aware of the ban too so if someone has a better solution, I'm all |
| 34 |
ears. |
