The 'euse' script included within gentoolkit fails to work when PORTDIR path contains special characters. In fact, an attempt to use it results in the following error output: $ LC_ALL=C euse egrep: ▲: No such file or directory egrep: ▲: No such file or directory egrep: ▲/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/parent: No such file or directory egrep: ▲: No such file or directory egrep: ▲: No such file or directory egrep: ▲/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/parent: No such file or directory ERROR: /usr/\n ▲ \n▲ ▲/profiles does not exist or is not a directory The reason for that is lack of quoting in $() calls in get_all_make_defaults() / get_make_defaults(), for which I'm attaching a patch. However, afterwards script still fails to work due to the concept of returning multiple paths from get_all_make_defaults() as a scalar. As fixing this one would require a change in the concept, I'm not attaching a ready-made fix. And, for the sake of formality, the output of 'euse' after applying my first patch: $ LC_ALL=C ./euse ./euse: line 272: source: /usr/: is a directory ./euse: line 272: ▲: No such file or directory

Created attachment 227649 [details, diff] The patch to fix the quoting of profilepath (partially)
Created attachment 271061 [details, diff] Re-implement the previous patch against the new 0.3.0 euse I think I understand the issue with returning from a list traverse_profile() as a scalar. Can you verify that we're back to where you started with this patch? I'll look at adapting the return value to a list. It will probably make the code more stable under more typical circumstances too.
