Bug 421293 – sci-libs/shogun-1.1.0 USE=examples - !!! newins: -r does not exist (should be doins, not newins)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Eric F. GARIOUD 2012-06-15 22:29:35 UTC]

Building shogun with the examples use flag set leads to the following error :

 * ERROR: sci-libs/shogun-1.1.0 failed (install phase):
 *   !!! newins: -r does not exist

It appears that newins does not honor the recursive option, at least the one installed on my system (from sys-apps/portage-2.1.10.49) does not :

if [ ! -e "$1" ] ; then
        helpers_die "!!! ${0##*/}: $1 does not exist"
        exit 1
fi


Reproducible: Always

It can also be noticed that /sci-libs/superlu/superlu-4.0-r2.ebuild was using "newins -r" too but /sci-libs/superlu/superlu-4.1-r1.ebuild changed in favour of "doins -r"

From ebuild(5):

  newins <old file> <new filename>
  …
  All these functions act like the do* functions, but  they only work with one file…

So I don't think `newins -r …` is legal.

I couldn't find any bugs with that string in any summary or comment (other than this bug), so I think people have just been silently changing their ebuilds without writing bugs or making sufficiently detailed ChangeLog entries.

1/ I honestly and sincerely thank you, Jeroen, for the work you achieve in Gentoo's bugzilla.

2/ I honestly and sincerely apologize for my poor English and my lack of knowledge in the procedures / policies governing the labeling of summaries.

HOWEVER :

A/ Would you please note that, since I reported this bug, YOU do not stop changing around the summary. And I am afraid that, as YOU wish it to be, it becomes just meaningless to me. I Just NO LONGER UNDERSTAND what I am supposed to have written ! Isn't this just STUPID ?

It is the very first time, the very first bug I report here for which the summary is arbitrarily changed. I am left... surprised !

B/ Would you please realize that :

B.1 : Everything needed to understand the bug is explained as part of the description I gave.

B.2 : Everything needed to correct this bug is suggested in my comment 1.
(At least, it works for me)
As a consequence of this, I do not really see the need to add totally useless additional information to this bug.

I'll submit a patch when I get time, this will, I think, be more profitable.

Regards.
