Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-04-28 13:42:13 UTC
yes, it does

if you emerged from a binary package that may be why
Comment 2 Simon Matthews 2004-04-28 14:59:09 UTC
Doesn't it rather defeat the object of binary packages if they don't do all the setup required? 

My methodology is to build packaes on a compile server. Then all other machines rsync against the compile server, getting the binary packages as well as the rest of the portage tree. Are you saying that I can't rely on binary packages to install properly?

doesnt it defaet the point of filing a bug if you dont provide all the information ? :P

i just changed the ebuild around in cvs so it should work
