If /etc/make.profile is directory eix just exists with error:

 $ eix eix
void CascadingProfile::ReadLink(std::string&) const: readlink('/etc/make.profile') failed: Invalid argument

It is comfortable to have /etc/make.profile as a directory with only file parents there to include my own profiles from overlays.

Fixed in eix svn trunk (>=eix-0.12.6)

Comment 2 Martin Väth 2008-06-25 19:22:01 UTC

Since eix-0.13.0 is now in the tree, I mark this bug as fixed.
Please reopen if the problem re-occurs.
