Bug 141818 – app-portage/eix-0.5.6 /etc/portage/package.* dirs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jieryn 2006-07-26 12:41:03 UTC]

portage-2.1 introduced the ability to have a directory structure inside /etc/portage which mimics the layout of /usr/portage with recursive searching to build up mask, unmask, keyword, etc, configuration data. Eix chokes on this layout inside /etc/portage.

Here is the `strace update-eix`

[...uninteresting stuff...]
open("/etc/portage/package.mask/app-admin", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, 0x5459b0, 8191)                 = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)

Since this new directory hierarchy is supported by portage, I feel eix should also support it. Thanks!!

Thanks for the report. This was supposed to work with eix-0.5.6, but in an attempt to improve compatibility for the recursion handling, I apparently introduced a bug just before the release. I fixed it now in the newest svn trunk - at least it works for me, but I did not reproduce your complete layout. Testing is appreciated.

we believe this is fixed with 0.6.2

thanks or reporting!
