Description Andrew Esh 2006-01-06 06:45:42 UTC

Because of a minor bug in the eix-sync script, error logging is not going to the log, but to a file called "1" in the pwd. eix-sync can also not be run without an error in a directory which has a subdirectory named "1" (such as /proc), unless the -v flag is used.

Fix eix-sync logging and operation

This patch correctly redirects stderr to stdout, and allows the intended logging to take place. No more "1" files left behind, and no failures when there is a "1" subdirectory present. I made an assumption that the redirect was intended for stderr, since redirecting stdout to stdout is silly.

Using bash 3.00.16(1)-release, if that matters. Perhaps the existing syntax in eix-sync works with other versions of bash.
