Bug 20410 – bad location of some gocr's files

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Julien Allanos (RETIRED) 2003-05-03 22:13:21 UTC]

I'm wondering why the gocr's ebuild installs some files with a / prefix and
others with a /usr prefix.

# qpkg -l gocr
app-text/gocr-0.3.6-r2 *
CONTENTS:
/bin
/bin/gocr
/lib
/lib/libPgm2asc.a
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/gocr.1.gz
/include
/include/gocr.h

I was quite suprised to see a /include dir with a single gocr.h in it. Gocr is
working but wouldn't it be better to have /usr/bin instead of /bin, /usr/include
instead of /include and /usr/lib instead of /lib ?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gocr

I can confirm this, I just emerged and files (except man pages) seem to install with prefix /. 

[Comment 2 Sami Nieminen 2003-07-21 05:39:20 UTC]

Is something being done for this? I wish to get some comments from the developer. I just tried 
to emerge gocr again, and it is still broken, like in the original report.

Created attachment 16131 [details]
new ebuild

this ebuild installs gocr with a /usr prefix.

# qpkg -l gocr
app-text/gocr-0.3.6-r3 *

/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/gocr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/libPgm2asc.a

/usr/share/man/man1/gocr.1.gz
/usr/include
/usr/include/gocr.h

i know you just modified the ebuild in portage, so please dont take this as offence, but this ebuild needs a solid rewrite, a simple look at the DEPENDS shows you errors (depend on app-text/tetex, and then conditionally depend on it if tetex is USE'd?). working on a rewrite, then we can solve the bad location problems.

[Comment 5 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2003-09-15 22:25:20 UTC]

okay, this has been re-written in portage, as version 0.37. could you please test and report back on success/failure ? thanks.

[Comment 6 Julien Allanos (RETIRED) 2003-09-16 04:21:08 UTC]

just to report this was a success for me. thanks.
