Bug 194993 – app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4_pre7: revdep-rebuild not honoring SEARCH_DIRS_MASK

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description TGL 2007-10-07 13:50:10 UTC]

I have defined SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="/opt/sun-*" in my make.conf, and seen that revdep-rebuild was still reporting some broken "/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.15/jre/lib/..." files.

This behavior comes from the fact that some /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.15/jre/lib/ subdirs are in my "ld.so.conf", and thus end in the SEARCH_DIRS variable.  Then, the binaries collecting "find" command is like that:
  find ... /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.15/jre/lib/i386 ... \( -path /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.15 -o ... \) -prune -o ...
Here, /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.15/jre/lib/i386 won't be pruned ("-path" is not a prefix check, but an exact path check).

I will attach a possible fix, which consists of filtering the SEARCH_DIRS variable to remove all paths prefixed by some masked paths.

Please commit the patch or fix the tool directly, it is annoying to scan through tons of programs I already know to be (harmlessly) broken.

Thanks!
