Bug 192979 – Usage of -* is broken in revdep-rebuild-rewrite

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2007-09-18 21:31:26 UTC]

The following command should run with SEARCH_DIRS="/" SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="" and LD_LIBRARY_MASK=""

env SEARCH_DIRS="/ -*" SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="-*" LD_LIBRARY_MASK="-*" ./revdep-rebuild-rewrite --pretend --verbose --ignore

The actual results are:
revdep-rebuild-rewrite environment:
SEARCH_DIRS="/"
SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="-*
/usr/lib/openoffice"
LD_LIBRARY_MASK="-*"
PORTAGE_ROOT="/"
EMERGE_OPTIONS=""
ORDER_PKGS="1"
FULL_LD_PATH="1"

Created attachment 131335 [details, diff]
revdep-rebuild_fix-dashstar_r445.patch

Patch against revision 445 in SVN. I had forgotten to check what happens when the -* is at the very beginning of the string. Hopefully this patch fixes that.
