Bug 373439 – dev-vcs/git-1.7.6: automagic dep against dev-vcs/cvs

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Fabio Erculiani (RETIRED) 2011-06-29 07:25:56 UTC]

I guess it's back again.

# USE="-cvs" emerge =dev-vcs/git-1.7.6

It gives me git-cvs for free.

/usr/bin/git-cvsserver
/usr/libexec/git-core/git-cvsexportcommit
/usr/libexec/git-core/git-cvsimport
/usr/libexec/git-core/git-cvsserver
/usr/share/doc/git-1.7.6/git-cvsexportcommit.txt.bz2
/usr/share/doc/git-1.7.6/git-cvsimport.txt.bz2
/usr/share/doc/git-1.7.6/gitcvs-migration.txt.bz2
/usr/share/doc/git-1.7.6/git-cvsserver.txt.bz2
/usr/share/man/man1/git-cvsexportcommit.1.bz2
/usr/share/man/man1/git-cvsimport.1.bz2
/usr/share/man/man1/git-cvsserver.1.bz2
/usr/share/man/man7/gitcvs-migration.7.bz2

Reproducible: Always

Try run them, and see if you get the warning or the actual command.
It SHOULD give you the warning iirc.

[Comment 2 Fabio Erculiani (RETIRED) 2011-06-29 08:32:17 UTC]

I don't think I want to have some sort of warnings here, I don't want to see these files installed in any case.

The same has been done for git-svn stuff.
I have fixed this way here (see the attached patch).

Created attachment 278613 [details, diff]
kill cvs patch

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2011-06-29 08:42:08 UTC]

Upstream rejected this already, because under certain cases those wrappers get called by other stuff, and having them not present causes weirdness. The wrappers need to stay existing and return a certain error code instead.

Then also Fedora is doing it wrong... Looking at their git.spec.
