Splashutils source download fails

I can’t build splashutils from source :frowning:
Terminal log is:

calculate /home/michael # emerge --ask --oneshot splashutils

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies… done!
[ebuild N ] media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.4.4-r9 USE=“fbcondecor gpm png truetype -hardened -klibc”

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] Y

What can I do?

Hi Michael,

Package media-gfx/splashutils is no longer supported in Gentoo and the source code is removed. There is only a binary package in our repository. To install the package, run:

FEATURES="getbinpkg" emerge splashutils

Also, the fbcondecor patch is no longer supported. In this regard, we have decided in the near future to switch to Plymouth.

Thanks, that worked :slight_smile:

Now I disabled “getbinpkg” and want to do a full rebuild from source (“emerge --emptytree world”) to test several compiler settings.
But then I’ll hit this problem again.
Any ideas how to do this without emerge complaining when I build splashutils from source?

You can find the missing source package and copy it to the /var/calculate/remote/distfiles/directory or wait a bit and the package will not be in dependencies.

Hi,
I have the same issue thanks for the solution.

Now, Calculate use plymouth.
Make sure your system is up to date :slight_smile:
