Description Dick Marinus 2005-08-10 10:27:20 UTC

mscompress tries to append some stuff in /usr/share/misc/file/magic by
overriding the file (which belongs to sys-apps/file)

I suppose this shouldn't be done, or should be done in the sys-apps/file ebuild
instead.

== From app-arch/mscompress ==
    # taken from magic.add, modified for gentoo
    if [ -z "`grep END_OF_MSCOMPRESS ${ROOT}/usr/share/misc/file/magic`" ] ; then
        dodir /usr/share/misc/file
        cat ${ROOT}/usr/share/misc/file/magic magic.mscompress >
${D}/usr/share/misc/file/magic
    fi

you're right, mscompress is clearly a crappy ebuild ;)
