The following packages install themselves in /usr instead of /opt. They should install in /opt as they are binary packages, and trying to run prelink against them can cause problems in some cases. net-www/phoenix-bin dev-lang/ghc-bin Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: On a clean install, emerge these, and try to run prelink against them. You will get unresolved library dependancies that aren't needed to run the application but are needed for prelinking. Expected Results: Should be installed in /opt
Hi Robin Well, phoenix-bin should actually be assigned to phoen][x, as I see that was him who was taking care of this one. Or did he quit recently? Then I might need to take care of this package I guess.. Andres: I guess we can move ghc-bin to install under /opt. Other than unnecessary duplication I don't see a problem with this as long as /usr/bin is before /opt/ghc/bin in PATH. This will ensure that locally compiled version is preferred when available. Could you please take care of this, since you are maintaining haskell related stuff presently ;)? George
I just moved new ghc-bin ebuilds into the portage tree: ghc-bin-5.04.2-r1 ghc-bin-5.04.3 Both install to /opt/ghc now and add the path to /etc/env.d/10ghc. Both are still ~x86, though, because I did not test a full bootstrap of ghc yet ... You all are welcome to test, of course :) By the way, I noticed that some binary ebuilds install to /opt and then symlink to /usr/bin. I guess that would cause no problems w.r.t. prelinking? Best, Andres
Hey Robin. I got to the phoenix - did some modifications to make it install under /opt/phoenix (instead of /usr/lib/phoenix). I revision bumped the last available version, as I would prefer to keep the one by phoen][x until this move gets tested. ALso, as I am not familiar with the package (but the modification works for me of course) and not even a maintainer of anything related to the topic :), I would prefer if this bug gets either tested and closed or reassigned ;). Andres: I tested ghc-bin-5.04.2-r1, looking good. Did not test 5.04.3 though - its 15MB download and I am on modem right now. I don't suppose it should be different though, but will try to test at some point later.. George
closing this again.
