Bug 16375 – prepman will gzip .keep files when merging baselayout

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-02-25 19:10:03 UTC]

prepman (and I guess prepinfo) has this find:

find "${x}"/ \( -type f -or -type l \) -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1

This will find the .keep files in
/usr/share/man/, /usr/share/info/, and /usr/local/share/man/
and will end up gzipping them which is probably not what we want to do.

One solution would be to use this find instead:

find "${x}"/ \( -type f -or -type l \) ! -name .keep -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge baselayout
2. watch the output for
gzipping man page: .keep
gzipping man page: .keep
info:
gzipping GNU info page: .keep
strip:


Actual Results:  
/usr/share/man/.keep.gz
/usr/share/info/.keep.gz
/usr/local/share/man/.keep.gz


Expected Results:  
/usr/share/man/.keep
/usr/share/info/.keep
/usr/local/share/man/.keep

carpaski - been able to spare any cycles for this bug?

[Comment 2 Paul Belt 2003-10-13 08:32:46 UTC]

This might be a deeply hidden bug... I don't have the time to locate it cause...
but it sounds related.  So instead of creating a new bug report, I'm just
dropping it here.

!!! copy /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1/image/home/.keep -> /home/.keep
failed.
!!! [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/.keep#new'

automount(pid12932) on /home type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=12932,minproto=2,maxproto=3)

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2003-10-13 08:46:49 UTC]

well why dont you drop it on the original bug report next time rather than
on a completely unrelated one Bug 9849

[Comment 4 Paul Belt 2003-10-13 09:00:00 UTC]

Because I didn't find the first one.

[Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-10-18 00:04:55 UTC]

This bug is still live in Portage 2.0.49-r13-2

[Comment 6 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-05-26 01:20:12 UTC]

Any chance a fix for this will make the next release?

[Comment 7 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2004-08-04 19:46:30 UTC]

No chance whatsoever that it would make it into that next release.
It will be in 2.0.51_pre16 though. :)

[Comment 8 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2004-10-22 08:48:04 UTC]

Bug has been fixed and released in stable portages on or before 2.0.51-r2
