Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2004-02-21 07:13:47 UTC 
updating to linux-2.4.24-grsec-1.9.13-r1 removes old sources under /usr/src/linux-2.4.24-grsec-1.9.13 but the link /usr/src/linux does not point after emerge to the new directory linux-2.4.24-grsec-1.9.13-r1, instead it points to the old directory linux-2.4.24-grsec-1.9.13

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -u grsec-sources
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
either set the link to the new dir or do not remove the old dir

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-02-21 11:48:57 UTC 
portage will never touch /usr/src/linux if it still points to a directory that exists
Comment 2 Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2004-02-22 01:36:05 UTC 
but portage will ever try to fully remove the directory where the link /usr/src/linux points to ?
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-02-22 01:45:25 UTC 
no, it wont be removed by portage because it has object files in it thus it isnt empty

portage is a tool to make your life easier, it's not going to hold your hand for everything ... plus, trying to do too much can easily result in unwanted behavior
