Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-25 18:55:58 UTC 
heres a patch to make the broken cat pipe msg/error go away
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-25 22:40:44 UTC 
in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py: 
(line ~4787) 
old: 
notok=spawn("cat "+mytbz2+"| bzip2 -dq | tar xpf -",free=1)  
 
new: 
notok=spawn("bzip2 -dq "+mytbz2+" | tar xpf -",free=1)
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-25 22:53:26 UTC 
err that doesnt work properly because it'll actually bunzip the file ;x 
 
heres a working one: 
notok=spawn("bzcat -q "+mytbz2+" | tar xpf -",free=1) 
 
the issue of course is the information that is appended to the end of the tarball ... 
the cat breaks because the bzip2/tar combo finishs reading proper data ... cat 
however still wants to pass that extra info we generate but cant cause the ends of 
the pipes died 
 
since this is a non critical error, bzcat -q will not show the msg about garbage at 
the end of the file

Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-30 20:33:59 UTC 
you added the wrong fix ;)

you want to add this:
notok=spawn("bzcat -q "+mytbz2+" | tar xpf -",free=1)
