Description Andreas Wiese 2011-03-16 13:00:03 UTC

sys-kernel/module-rebuild is non-portage-PM aware but doesn't use $PACKAGE_MANAGER variable set by eselect-packagemanager, what's quite annoying.  Other thing is, that module-rebuild knows how to use paludis, but isn't aware of the cave-CLI, which is by now the preferred command.  With paludis-0.60_rc1, paludis and friends will be gone in favour of the cave client.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. »module-rebuild rebuild« with $PACKAGE_MANAGER set to paludis
2. »module-rebuild -P cave«

Actual Results:  
1. emerge
2. \|/ _____ \|/
   "@'/ , . \`@"
   /_| \___/ |_\
      \__U__/

Expected Results:  
1. paludis
2. cave

Major severity for point 2. since paludis-0.60_rc1 is expected to get into portage soon and paludis client will be gone.

cave-issue has been resolved a long time ago, $PACKAGE_MANAGER still isn't used.  See attached patch.
