Bug 376767 – app-portage/g-cpan-0.16.4 creates non-existent categories file without newline (inconsistent)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Scott Bertilson 2011-07-28 15:39:19 UTC]

If the file does exist the g-cpan script does:

my $cat_write = IO::File->new($cat_file, '>>');
if (defined $cat_write)
{   
    print $cat_write "$GCPAN_CAT\n";
    undef $cat_write;
    autoflush STDOUT 1;
}   

If it doesn't, it does:

my $cat_write = IO::File->new($cat_file, '>');
if (defined $cat_write)
{   
    print $cat_write $GCPAN_CAT;
}   

It should write it with a newline and it should also "undef $cat_write" to close the file consistently with what's done in the other context.

Reproducible: Always

This makes sense. Added to git master, keeping the bug open until release.
