Bug 4033 – /etc/env.d/30sane file (in sane-backends)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) 2002-06-22 12:37:52 UTC]

sane-backends ebuild installs /etc/env.d/30sane from pkg_postins().  As a
result, this file is not accounted for, and will not be removed when
uninstalling the package.

IMO we should move its installation into src_install().

Actually, no files in /etc are ever uninstalled because of the
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK thingy.  That means, even installing them from src_install
won't remove them when uninstalled..

But isn't there a way to override the protection thingy?  Besides, even if the
files are never uninstalled, then at least they are accounted for.  E.g.:

  tea:/etc/sane.d$ qpkg -f /etc/sane.d/net.conf 
  media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.8 *

but

  tea:/etc/sane.d$ qpkg -f /etc/env.d/30sane

comes up with no accounting info.  I think that, unless there was a good reason
not to do it this way, the file in env.d should be installed normally from
src_install().
