Bug 362703 – Ideas: Function to automatically fixes Eratta and security issues for Gentoo/FreeBSD

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Yuta SATOH 2011-04-09 12:15:21 UTC]

FreeBSD 8.0 has the security problem. but, Gentoo/FreeBSD doesn't solve it. 

I thought patches were put on ${FILESDIR} first. 
However, I thought that it was a failure. 
because two or more packages use the same source file.

Instead, I propose an automatic patch approach by the patchset and eclass. 

Thanks in advance.


Reproducible: Always

good idea but imho:
- the SRC_URI stuff shouldnt be duplicated in ebuilds but put into the eclass
- dont you have a better way to generate the patches than diff'ing the whole tree ? (eg fetching the actual patches...)
- epatch can accept a "directory" and iterate over it; patches are generally named ala "010_all_name.patch" so you probably dont need to iterate manually

Add new function, freebsd_upstream_patches to freebsd.eclass.
