Bugzilla Bug 53215

I tried to build an ebuild for SiteBar (www.sitebar.org). The installation
process fails because of one folder that has a space character in its name.

 * Installing sitebar 3.2.5 ...
 *   Creating required directories
 *     /var/www/localhost/htdocs/sitebar/. already exists as a real directory;
 *       skipping /var/www/localhost/htdocs/sitebar/.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sitebar

(The sitebar ebuild does not yet exist on gentoo, so you cannot really do
this.)
Actual Results:  

 * Installing sitebar 3.2.5 ...
 *   Creating required directories
 *     /var/www/localhost/htdocs/sitebar/. already exists as a real directory;
 *       skipping /var/www/localhost/htdocs/sitebar/.

...

>>> dir  (root-owned) skins/Classic
>>> dir  (root-owned) skins/Mozilla        
>>> dir  (root-owned) Modern                   <- !!! This should not happen
>>> dir  (root-owned) skins/Cornflower

...



Expected Results:  
The folder is called "Mozilla Modern" and should not have been splitted in
half.

Hi,

Could you attach your ebuild for sitebar to this bug please?  That'll make it a lot easier for me to fix this bug for you.

Many thanks,
Stu

I'm having the same problem with an ebuild I'm trying to write (for phpPgAds). 
A directory called "backwards compatibility" in its htdocs is getting installed
as "backwards", which then causes a nasty failure, leaving an incomplete (and
unrecorded) installation.

Shortly I will attach the ebuild and the output resulting from it.

ebuild that causes webapp-config to be unhappy

BTW, I am using webapp-config 1.9-r2.

Thank you.  Give me a day to two to post a fix.

Hi,

I've just added webapp-config v1.10 to Portage.  I tested v1.10 against your phppgads ebuild, and it appeared to cope with spaces in filenames now.

Please test, and let me know how you get on.

Best regards,
Stu

I'm not able to install this ebuild; the sources don't seem to be available:

etc.

Is there some trick to getting them, or were they just never released?

Hi,

Hopefully that's fixed now, and it's on the mirrors.

Best regards,
Stu

The installation succeeded, but I think there is still a slight problem.  After
seeing some errors flash by, I cleaned and reinstalled this way:

  webapp-config -I -d banners -h localhost phpPgAds 2.0 2> webapp.err >
webapp.out

And webapp.err looks like this:

bracknell phpPgAds # cat webapp.err 
date: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/banners/misc/backwards: No such file or
directory
date: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/banners/misc/backwards: No such file or
directory
date: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/banners/misc/backwards: No such file or
directory

So there is still some code that is splitting filenames by spaces.  That's bash
for you!

cheers, js

Stu, don't know if you've already fixed this issue, see patch.

Hi Sven,

I'd missed those two.  Thanks for spotting them.  I've added your patch to -r1.

Best regards,
Stu

webapp-config 1.10-r1 is now out, and contains a fix for this bug.  Please
test.

Best regards,
Stu

Closing old bug.
