Bug 30436 – app-misc/bins-1.1.23 has the wrong path for globalConfigDir

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Haroon Rafique 2003-10-05 15:21:33 UTC]

During the installation of bins-1.1.23, we see the following banner flash by:

This will install BINS program and configuration files in the following paths :
PREFIX = /var/tmp/portage/bins-1.1.23/image/usr
BIN    = /var/tmp/portage/bins-1.1.23/image/usr/bin
SHARE  = /var/tmp/portage/bins-1.1.23/image/usr/share/bins
MAN    = /var/tmp/portage/bins-1.1.23/image/usr/man/man1
LOCALE = /var/tmp/portage/bins-1.1.23/image/usr/share/locale
RC     = /var/tmp/portage/bins-1.1.23/image/etc/bins

Unfortunately, the last line with the RC value makes it into /usr/bin/bins in tact, as follows:

337    globalConfigDir => "/var/tmp/portage/bins-1.1.23/image/etc/bins",#system wide

Here's a diff for a fix which performs a sed after the ./install.sh line.

Fixed in a slightly different way in 1.1.23-r1. Thanks for finding the problem.
