Bugzilla Bug 236281

=app-portage/eix-0.13.3 is in the tree 4 weeks tomorrow, is it ok for stabling
with you?

"genstef        Feel free to fix my packages"

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/roll-call/devaway.xml?select=genstef#genstef

I guess the question was rather directed to vaeth@ who is more familiar with
the codebase and bugs in 0.13.3 in particular.

I did not understand it that way, otherwise I would have replied earlier.
Yes, I see no problem for stabilizing eix-0.13.3 if this does not delay
stabilization of eix-0.13.4 which contains some more important bug fixes
(eix-0.13.4 is out since about three weeks but not in the tree yet).

The only "problems" I know is that due to the changed redirection policy
some users might have to fix e.g. cron-jobs calling eix-sync, and that
they might have an obsolete /var/log/eix-sync.log lying around.
It appears reasonable to warn them in post_install
(but this might also be postponed for the eix-0.13.4 bump), e.g.

if test -d /var/log && ! test -x /var/log || test -e /var/log/eix-sync.log
then
        einfo
        einfo "eix no longer supports redirection to /var/log/eix-sync.log"
        einfo "You can remove that file."
fi

(the message is output if /var/log/eix-sync.log exists or its existence
cannot be checked due to lack of permissions).

Do you have ebuilds or is it just a simple rename with the einfo bit or ..?

Created an attachment (id=165701) [details]
Add info message concerning eix-sync.log

As usual, a rename should be enough. For your convenience, I attach a patch
which adds the info message (I should have posted the patch immediately
instead of the plain text, but I was not at my machine).

The error message sounds to me like a broken installation of either python or
docutils-0.4-r3.
I run the same stable version on amd64 (of course with the doc useflag -
with -doc there shouldn't be anything wrong at all) and have no such problem.
Please test with a re-emerged docutils-0.4-r3 once more; in case of failure
check whether you have the file
   /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/docutils/core.py
and whether this can be read by everybody.

If the problem persists, I suggest that you open a new bug, because AFAIK
stabilization bugs shouldn't be used for anything else.

Marking as fixed, due to unforeseen bug in this version. Proceed at bug 238282.
