hi, Subj, it drops bin file from before installing without any notice. However, it installs etc dirs, cache dirs. It's very sad that revdep-rebuild doesn't work on OSX. Basicly it's major reason I want to switch to prefixed gentoo from macports. Had a few hard minutes figuring out why file disappears in the middle of installation, a notice would be helpful, as well as, a clean installation without those useless directories. Reproducible: Always
You missed the point of preserve-libs feature of Portage, I think. revdep-rebuild is no longer necessary on OSX, portage can handle it itself.
To address your concerns, I've submitted a patch that was accepted by the maintainers. No more stray files, and a elog message. + 04 Feb 2011; Paul Varner <fuzzyray@gentoo.org> + gentoolkit-0.3.0_rc11-r3.ebuild: + Completely remove revdep-rebuild for prefix users that are not running on AIX + (Bug 353654). Remove redundant chown and chmod of /var/cache/revdep-rebuild + in pkg_postinst().
