Full Text Bug Listing

Some notes on ROOT:

* The idea behind ROOT is that one can build a system with ROOT=/somewhere and
then chroot into it or tar up /somewhere as a system image. It is not designed
to allow the user to run /somewhere/usr/bin/foo.

* ROOT can't be used correctly in src_*, since ROOT might be different when
merging a binary package. For example, a binary package might be built with
ROOT=/ and then installed onto a system using ROOT=/somewhere.

* ROOT isn't used for library dependencies. When building, libraries, headers
etc. on / have to be used. Cross-compiling etc is done by configuring the
toolchain correctly, not by hacking ebuilds in a way that breaks binary
packages.

Is it OK to create a variable in pkg_setup that references ROOT for file
existance so that src_install can use it to install a file or not? Otherwise
how should this be handled?

Install the file. If, based on the contents of $ROOT, you decide that you don't
want to merge it, remove it in pkg_preinst.

How about a solution where it doesn't have to waste half an hour on slow
machines making a file that it doesn't need once installed?

SSL certs shouldn't be in a bin pkg anyway, but due to the nature of the eclass
it needs to be created in src_install - unless I'm missing something.

If you have a solution that won't create incomplete binary packages when / on
the build host happens to have the file in question then I'll be interested to
know.

ssl certs don't belong in binary packages - they are specific to the machine
it's generated on. But due to the nature of the ssl-cert eclass it has to be
used in src_*.

Until that is resolved dovecot and probably all server related packages that
use this eclass will continue to violate this QA report.

In which case that code is still broken, in the case when / on the build
machine does not have the file and the ssl certs end up in the package.

So we need to fix the eclass. Thanks for pointing this out.

net-irc is done

wpa_supplicant fixed

perl can neither confirm nor deny if these are our natural ROOTs.

gfax fixed

You'll need to modify the eclass to let you create it in pkg_preinst.

net-ftp/twoftpd
net-mail/qmail-autoresponder
net-mail/qmail-qfilter
fixed!
thanks!

I did net-p2p/*, removing herd and affected maintainers.

no asterisk-1.0.x ebuilds have issues. voip: check the 1.2.x ebuilds.

net-firewall/ipp2p and net-proxy/wwwoffle have been fixed

following net-dialup packages have been fixed:
  net-dns/pdnsd
  net-dialup/ltmodem
  net-dialup/rp-pppoe
  net-dialup/slmodem

Fixed net-wireless/hostapd for the mobile herd. That leaves wpa_supplicant but
that is Uberlord's package.

Read comment #11 - it's already fixed.

Sorry about that. Removing mobile.

Fixed netmon stuff

net-www/mod_watch fixed.
Best regards, CHTEKK.

fixed net-ftp/tnftp

all fixed, except ddclient, glftpd, libssh, ossh and ypserv, for which i'll
open individual reports.
thanks.
