Bug 63820 – apache-2.0.50-r1 ebuild has minor syntax error in find command which makes macos complain

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robin Munn 2004-09-12 12:35:05 UTC]

The src_unpack section of the apache-2.0.50-r1 ebuild contains a "find -type f" command to replace /usr/local/bin/perl invocations with /usr/bin/perl. Well, the included find in Mac OS X Panther (10.3.5) is apparently a little stricter about syntax than GNU find: it gives the error message

find: illegal option -- t
find: illegal option -- y
find: illegal option -- p
find: illegal option -- e
find: f: No such file or directory

When this happened, I hit Ctrl-C to stop the ebuild, so I don't know if this would have eventually caused ebuild failure. But simply replacing "find -type f" with "find . -type f" works.

This problem exists in:

apache-2.0.50-r1
apache-2.0.50
apache-2.0.49-r4
apache-2.0.49-r3

I have only tested this change on macos. But since find's default is to search the current directory if no paths are given, this should cause no behavior change on any other platform.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ekeyword macos /usr/local/portage/net-www/apache/apache-2.0.50-r1
2. ebuild -av apache
3.

Actual Results:  
find complained of invalid arguments.

Expected Results:  
find should have succeeded.
