First, i see that there has been 3 ways to fix this breakage : using sed using perl regex making and using a home made patch (even sometimes patching another patch) usually, each one only fix tail -1 .... and head -1 ... but sometimes, the parameter is not 1 but another number shouldn't there be a policy to use the same universal fix for all 3 cases ? --- using : egrep -r "head -[0-9]" /usr/portage/*-* egrep -r "tail -[0-9]" /usr/portage/*-* i still see a few ebuilds and lots of files in local /files/ using the old broken syntax : /usr/portage/app-editors/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.9.ebuild: glibc_version=`/sbin/ldconfig -V | head -1 | sed -e "s/[^0-9]*[0-9]\.//" | sed -e "s/\.//"` /usr/portage/fresco-base/fresco-cvs/files/rundemo.sh:REF=`head -1 ${TMPFILE} | cut -d " " -f 3` /usr/portage/kde-base/kdeaddons/kdeaddons-3.1.2.ebuild: AMVERSION="`automake --version | head -1 | cut -d " " -f4`" /usr/portage/net-mail/qmail/files/1.03-r12/badrcptto-morebadrcptto-accdias-gentoo:+ | sed s}QMAILHOME}"`head -1 conf-qmail`"}g \ /usr/portage/net-mail/qmail/files/1.03-r12/badrcptto-morebadrcptto-accdias-gentoo:+ | sed s}BREAK}"`head -1 conf-break`"}g \ /usr/portage/net-mail/qmail/files/1.03-r12/badrcptto-morebadrcptto-accdias-gentoo:+ | sed s}SPAWN}"`head -1 conf-spawn`"}g \ /usr/portage/net-mail/cvm-vmailmgr/files/run-cvm-vmailmgr:exec cvm-vmailmgr-local `head -1 /etc/vmailmgr/cvm-vmailmgr-socket` 2>&1 /usr/portage/net-mail/mailfront/files/run-pop3front:SOCKET=`head -1 /etc/vmailmgr/cvm-vmailmgr-socket` /usr/portage/net-mail/mailfront/files/run-smtpfront:SOCKET=`head -1 /etc/vmailmgr/cvm-vmailmgr-socket` /usr/portage/net-mail/qmail-ldap/files/supervise/run-qmailpop3d:LL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/qmail-pop3d-loglevel` /usr/portage/net-mail/qmail-ldap/files/supervise/run-qmailpop3d:SL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/qmail-pop3d-softlimit` /usr/portage/net-mail/qmail-ldap/files/supervise/run-qmailpop3d:HOSTNAME=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me` /usr/portage/net-mail/spamass-milter/files/spamass-milter.rc: && kill -1 `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid` /usr/portage/net-www/mod_auth_mysql/mod_auth_mysql-20030510.ebuild: cat mod_auth_mysql.c | head -81 \ /usr/portage/net-www/mod_auth_mysql/mod_auth_mysql-1.11.ebuild: cat mod_auth_mysql.c | tail +84 | head -101 \ /usr/portage/net-www/mod_auth_mysql/mod_auth_mysql-20030510-r1.ebuild: cat mod_auth_mysql.c | head -81 \ /usr/portage/net-www/mod_auth_mysql/mod_auth_mysql-20030510-r2.ebuild: cat mod_auth_mysql.c | head -81 \ /usr/portage/net-zope/zope/files/zope: pid=`head -1 /var/run/$1.pid` /usr/portage/net-zope/zope/files/zope: pid=`head -1 /var/run/$1.pid` /usr/portage/net-zope/zope/files/zope.rc6: pid=`head -1 /var/run/$1.pid` /usr/portage/net-zope/zope/files/zope.rc6: pid=`head -1 /var/run/$1.pid` /usr/portage/media-sound/speech-tools/files/speech-tools-gcc3.3.diff: COMPILER_VERSION_COMMAND=$(CXX) -v 2>&1 | tail -1 | sed -e 's/^....//' /usr/portage/media-tv/rivatv/files/rivatv-0.8.3-configure.patch:+bgcc=`gcc -v 2>&1 | tail -1 | sed 's/\(.*\)gcc version \([0-9.]*\).*/\2/'` /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/files/1.0.4349/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4349-2.5-20030402.diff:+ echo \#define NV_COMPILER \"`$(CC) -v 2>&1 | tail -1`\" > $@ /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/files/1.0.4349/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4349-2.5-20030402.diff:+ echo \#define NV_COMPILER \"`$(CC) -v 2>&1 | tail -1`\" > $@ /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/files/1.0.4349/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4349-2.5-20030402.diff:+ MODULE=$($* -v 2>&1 | tail -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 3) /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/files/1.0.4363/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4363-2.5-20030714.diff:+ echo \#define NV_COMPILER \"`$(CC) -v 2>&1 | tail -1`\" > $@ /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/files/1.0.4363/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4363-2.5-20030714.diff:+ echo \#define NV_COMPILER \"`$(CC) -v 2>&1 | tail -1`\" > $@ /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/files/1.0.4363/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4363-2.5-20030714.diff:+ MODULE=$($* -v 2>&1 | tail -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 3) /usr/portage/media-video/mtxdrivers/mtxdrivers-0.3.0.ebuild: tail -4434 "${DISTDIR}/${At}" | tar -xvzf - /usr/portage/net-fs/shfs/files/shfs.mount: SSH_AGENT_PID=`ps -C ssh-agent -opid=,uid= | sed -n "s/^[ \t]\{1,\}\([0-9]\{1,\}\)\{1,\}[ \t]\{1,\}$ID\$/\1/p" | tail -1` /usr/portage/net-fs/shfs/files/shfs.mount: SSH_AUTH_SOCK=`find /tmp -follow -maxdepth 4 -type s -user "$ID" | grep ssh | grep agent | tail -1` /usr/portage/sys-devel/distcc/files/2.11/distcc-config: dccc_show_env | grep "$1" | tail -1 | sed -e "s,${1}=,," /usr/portage/sys-devel/distcc/files/2.11/distcc-config: grep -v '^#' | tail -1)" /usr/portage/sys-devel/distcc/files/2.10/distcc-config: dccc_show_env | grep "$1" | tail -1 | sed -e "s,${1}=,," /usr/portage/sys-devel/distcc/files/2.10/distcc-config: grep -v '^#' | tail -1)" /usr/portage/sys-devel/distcc/files/2.8/distcc-config: dccc_show_env | grep "$1" | tail -1 | sed -e "s,${1}=,," /usr/portage/sys-devel/distcc/files/2.8/distcc-config: grep -v '^#' | tail -1)" /usr/portage/sys-devel/distcc/files/2.9/distcc-config: dccc_show_env | grep "$1" | tail -1 | sed -e "s,${1}=,," /usr/portage/sys-devel/distcc/files/2.9/distcc-config: grep -v '^#' | tail -1)" Please correct those and mark them as done here just after. perhaps it would help ending individual package XXX does not compile bugs.

hmm , are theese still actual? *ping* to the bug, sorta.

well since no one felt like fixing speech tools i did ... god that package is ugly
