Bug 289095 – eselect-1.2.6: handling of ROOT in multilib.bash is broken

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Fabian Groffen 2009-10-14 19:54:11 UTC]

Hi Fabian,                                                                      
                                                                                
i was able to track the eselect-opengl issue down to a bug(?) in                
eselect itself. Anyway, see the attached patch against eselect-1.0.8's          
lib/multilib.bash. eselect opengl list/set works on MacOS and Solaris           
now. Maybe one should fix prefix' etc/ld.so.conf, so that the grep-ing          
above the patched branch works?

Guys should we x11 guys do here something in eselect opengl?
I found this bug when i searched for eselect-opengl.

[Comment 3 Fabian Groffen 2009-11-11 16:18:02 UTC]

@eselect: can you please look at heiko's patch to see if it makes sense to you?

[Comment 4 Ulrich Müller 2009-11-11 17:24:35 UTC]

Can you please attach ${EPREFIX}/etc/ld.so.conf from a Prefix system?

[Comment 5 Fabian Groffen 2009-11-11 19:57:08 UTC]

There is no such file in Prefix, and if it accidentially was created, it is not used by /lib/ld.so (or alike) at all.

[Comment 6 Fabian Groffen 2009-11-11 20:04:08 UTC]

The file should not be used, but Portage generates it regardless, I'll fix that since it makes no sense.  My file contains this at the moment:

# ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to
# contents of /Library/Gentoo/etc/env.d directory

[Comment 7 Ulrich Müller 2009-11-12 07:47:19 UTC]

This is not a prefix specific bug, because it will always fail for non-trivial ${ROOT}. Reassigning.

[Comment 8 Ulrich Müller 2009-11-12 07:52:57 UTC]

Created attachment 209982 [details, diff]
patch for libs/multilib.bash.in

Attached patch fixes it for the case of non-trivial ${ROOT}.
Please test if it also fixes the Prefix case.

[Comment 9 Fabian Groffen 2009-11-13 19:49:39 UTC]

I can confirm this patch makes eselect-opengl recognise the installed providers again on Prefix.  Thanks

[Comment 10 Ulrich Müller 2009-11-13 20:34:11 UTC]

Fix committed to SVN (r723).

[Comment 11 Fabian Groffen 2009-11-14 13:47:30 UTC]

Ulrich,
Do you plan to make a release out of this soon?  If not, would you allow me to make a -r1 including your patch to have a working eselect-* packages for Prefix?

[Comment 12 Ulrich Müller 2009-11-14 19:22:18 UTC]

Fixed in eselect-1.2.7.
Version bump will follow when the distfile has propagated to mirrors.
