Bug 242580 – sys-apps/preload-0.6.3: include /opt and /lib32 in mapprefix and exeprefix

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2008-10-18 15:23:17 UTC]

Default /etc/preload.conf is missing /lib32 dir (used in amd64 arch for 32 bits libs provided by some emul-* packages) and /opt (used by apps like firefox-bin, opera...)

Simply adding them to proper entries in conf maked preload to also prefetch files from this locations (I have already tested it)

The attach patch fixes this

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always

Ah, so without your patch, files in /lib32 & /opt are ignored? (Odd, this should probably go upstream)

I tested it setting PRELOAD_VERBOSITY to 9 and looking /var/log/preload.log and /var/lib/preload/preload.state , without adding them, seemed that opera files and firefox-bin (in /opt) where not preloaded, the same for some /lib32 libs

Thanks for submitting upstream. I have added this patch in -r2 now.
