Bug 1219 – sh-utils-2.0.11-r2 doesn't build right if USE="-* build"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) 2002-03-18 12:08:27 UTC]

Hi Seemant,

see the summary for the problem.  Note that USE="-* build" is the Portage 1.8.9
way of saying that only the "build" USE variable should be set.  It seems to
mess up due to a missing uname.1 man page, probably due to the patch?

Oh, forgot to mention that I masked out -r2 for now, so -r1 will be used instead.

-r3 has problems too:

Since sh-utils is a core package, please mask your new versions in package.mask
until they are confirmed working.

It turns out that a new patch was posted to LKML last week.  It also only
touches the uname.c file and uses the info from /proc in a much more efficient
manner than the nuname patch.  I have checked in a new version of sh-utils -- it
passed all the tests on my box here.
