in previous versions of portage, emerge XX ,implicitely as the first step, removed (if existing) the directory used by the previous run. Now, 2.0.50 doesn't do it, it tries to reuse the unpacked sources. I would like to have an option to emerge, which does this first step. I need it, when i apply a patch in the unpack step, and when i change this patch, and rerun emerge. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh dyn_unpack() .... that's the place where i would like a test for the option to emerge, and yet another copy of the: newstuff="yes" rm -rf "${WORKDIR}"
still works here, could you provide your `emerge --info` ?

i changed my /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh this way. I shoul make it conditional, and depend on a setting/optional argument to emerge.... dyn_unpack() { trap "abort_unpack" SIGINT SIGQUIT local newstuff="no" if [ -e "${WORKDIR}" ]; then local x local checkme #mmc: newstuff="yes" rm -rf "${WORKDIR}" #end mmc
If you want emerge to clean the WORKDIR don't set FEATURES="keepwork"
but i want to keep the work directory, until i do another _emerge_, not a simple, explicit ebuild XXX YYY ..., or until i remove it with other tools. That was the behaviour 2 versions ago --I guess -- before the recycling was introduced. I just want an _option_ to keep the old behaviour.
Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and delaying the next version's progress. Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;)
Closing due to old age.
