Bug 168722 – some files in the profiles have redundant entries

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Georgi Georgiev 2007-02-28 12:58:59 UTC]

Some files in the profiles have redundant entries. A simple find | sort | uniq can give a proper list.

Created attachment 111537 [details]
list.txt

And here is the list made by the simple find | sort | uniq.
Each line shows the file and the output of sort | uniq -d on that file.

Nice, except that it completely hides the redundant entries... Attach some patch because it's pretty unclear what's redundant there.

See attachment #111537 [details]. Each line has a file, the redundant line and the number of times that line is repeated.

Quoting a random one, just to illustrate:
default-linux/ppc/2005.1/ppc64/use.mask                           2  pcmcia

Ah... Really didn't get what's the number about.

amd64 done

Done on hppa.

[Comment 7 Joshua Jackson (RETIRED) 2007-02-28 18:52:20 UTC]

x86 is done

[Comment 8 petre rodan (RETIRED) 2007-02-28 20:13:04 UTC]

selinux done

[Comment 9 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2007-03-01 00:27:30 UTC]

Not sure what you want SPARC to do here.  The package in question (media-sound/bitscope) needs to be masked in the profiles that support 2.4 kernels.  Based on how the current profile hierarchy is setup, we'll either have duplicate masking entries or unmasking entries.  If anyone has any suggestions here, feel free to re-CC us.

Also, the selinux team is responsible for the selinux SPARC profile, not the SPARC arch team.

Removing ppc, all of the ppc profiles listed here are actually ppc64 profiles.

It's listed twice in every 2.4 profile. Here, take sparc32/2006.1/2.4 for example:

$ cat -n /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc32/2006.1/2.4/package.mask  | grep bitscope
    19  media-sound/bitscope
    32  media-sound/bitscope

Fair enough?

[Comment 12 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2007-03-06 14:50:37 UTC]

bitscope dupes nuked.

[Comment 13 Alexander Færøy 2007-03-07 14:32:26 UTC]

Should be done on MIPS now.

[Comment 14 Georgi Georgiev 2007-03-07 16:13:22 UTC]

Two more:

      2 ./base/use.mask:fdftk
      2 ./desc/cameras.desc:aox - libgphoto support for aox cameras

removing ppc64, fixed (except dev/* ones those really can all be deleted .. I'll prune them later)

default-linux/ppc/2005.1/ppc64/use.mask still has pcmcia duped.

And someone has to do the ones in comment #14.

Sorry for the bug spam... added myself to the wrong bug...

[Comment 18 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2007-12-23 23:26:18 UTC]

This should be all done now.  We'll have to come up with an automated check for this eventually.
