Description Balint Dobai-Pataky 2007-05-18 17:56:28 UTC
after upgrading to cfg-update-1.8.2 meld does not get called as before.

cfg-update -u 
*******************************************************************************
The alias for emerge, used for updating the index, is now deprecated...
cfg-update now uses hooks instead of the alias for emerge...
For Portage a new hook has been created in /etc/portage/bashrc
You should remove the alias for emerge in /etc/profile
followed by running this command: "unalias emerge"
*******************************************************************************

**********************************************************************
Mergetool "/usr/bin/xxdiff" not found...
The recommended merge tool for cfg-update is xxdiff, a nice GUI tool.

Please install dev-util/xxdiff or change the MERGE_TOOL variable to
your own favorite tool. See /etc/cfg-update.conf for more details!
**********************************************************************

Switching to "sdiff" for now...

Searching for updates...



i don't use xxdiff, and i have 
MERGETOOL = /usr/bin/meld
in my /etc/cfg-update.conf

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-18 18:02:36 UTC
The variable name was changed, you need to set MERGE_TOOL now, not MERGETOOL.
Comment 2 Balint Dobai-Pataky 2007-05-18 18:20:24 UTC
that's cool, but i was not able to get to the point where i see the new config file and notice the change.
Comment 3 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-18 18:51:15 UTC
Ah, yes, that would be annoying. I'm sorry about that. I'll try to update the ebuild later so that any MERGETOOL setting will be changed during the build.
Comment 4 S. van Boven 2007-05-18 20:24:37 UTC
Harold, don't bother changing the ebuild...
I'll change the script so it still recognises the old variable names in the configfile.

will post 1.8.2-r1 ASAP
Comment 5 S. van Boven 2007-05-18 21:05:09 UTC
uploaded the new 1.8.2-r1 tarball
with fixes for #179026 and #179025
Comment 6 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-18 23:28:00 UTC
And fixed, thanks!
