Error while building the digest for the ebuild

I followed up the procedure to build the digest for the ebuild but got this error:

ebuild xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6.ebuild digest Appending /usr/local/portage to PORTDIR_OVERLAY...

Call stack:

   If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

Anybody with a solution?

Thanks!

You are using the old ebuild mentioned on this howto. They are now obsolete as the ivtvdev driver is now in portage! Works also for Xorf 7.1.

Old instructions for ivtvdev

NOTE: Do not use these overlays anymore. xf86-video-ivtvdev is now in portage, please use that module instead!

XDriver is a framebuffer x.org driver for the PVR-350 TV-Out. This driver includes Xvideo extensions for scaling video playback. You can skip this section if you are not using a PVR-350 or are not using the TV-Out on the PVR-350 (or, if for some reason, you'd prefer to use fbdev instead of ivtvdev)

To install this driver in x.org 6.9 or 7.0, download these files:

xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6.ebuild

xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6.tar.bz2

• Put the tar.bz2 file in the distfiles directory (/usr/portage/distfiles)

     cp xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6.tar.bz2 /usr/portage/distfiles

• Put the .ebuild in your portage overlay under x11-drivers/xf86-video-ivtv

     mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ivtvdev/
     cp xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6.ebuild /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ivtvdev/

• Build the digest for the ebuild

     cd /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ivtvdev/
     ebuild xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6.ebuild digest
     (NOTE that this did not work for me until I removed extra ^M's in the file - then all was well. :>  -m)

• Add the package to package.keywords

     echo "x11-drivers/xf86-video-ivtvdev ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

• Add "ivtvdev" to VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf
• Add video_cards_ivtvdev to USE in make.conf
• Emerge the package

     emerge xf86-video-ivtvdev

• Edit xorg.conf (see configuration instructions)
• Start X!

NOTE: ivtvdev is now in portage! You should unmask and use that package instead of the ones I provided, as they don't work for the newer xorg
