Bug 281838 – Invalid syntax in multiple prefix profiles

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Jacob Godserv 2009-08-17 19:34:50 UTC]

In the file usr/portage/profiles/prefix/linux/x86/make.defaults, on about line 5, it says this:
ARCH=x86

The correct syntax is actually:
ARCH="x86"

This is stated in the PMS for EAPI 2 in section 4.2.3:

This bug is "INCOMPLETE" atm. I will be attaching patchfiles with a fix for multiple prefix profile bugs shortly.

Created attachment 201558 [details, diff]
prefix-profile.patch

Since it's easier to put all the bugs into a single bug, with a single patch file, this is what I've done.

First off, a lot of use.mask lines have comments appended to the end, which is
technically invalid, but portage doesn't mind. Nevertheless, for maximum compatibility, it's best to move these.

Second, some ARCH lines were without quotes. Everything must be in quotes, and
double-quotes at that.

This patch file fixes all that. Enjoy. :)
