Description Espen Rønnevik 2006-08-30 18:11:21 UTC
Some of my overlay ebuilds uses ! as part of the filename in SRC_URI, for instance "blah!blah.tar"

eclean and eclean-dist believes that these files should be deleted.

Im using version 0.2.2 of the gentoolkit package.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Douglas Anderson 2010-03-07 15:26:54 UTC
Anybody using ! in a filename is trying hard to break stuff. Current portage apparently does play nice with these filenames, and there are now methods to rename a distfile before it gets on the system in the ebuild.

If anyone runs into a common instance of this, please reopen.
