Description Andrey Ovcharov 2013-01-07 18:38:57 UTC
Current sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.38 not support patch file names with spaces.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create any new ebuild or use any existing… In the files/ add a patch containing a space in its name.
2. ebuild <name>.ebuild digest
3. ebuild <name>.ebuild compile
Actual Results:  
ebuild <name>.ebuild compile
(cat)
!!! A file is not listed in the Manifest: '/usr/local/portage/<name>/<name>/files/<name contains a space>.patch'

Expected Results:  
Manifest with <name contains a space>.patch

The current solution:

Add thin-manifests = true to metadata/layout.conf

> cat /usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf 
thin-manifests = true
sign-manifests = false
profile-formats = portage-2
cache-formats = md5-dict

And take care yourself on handling filenames containing spaces.
Comment 1 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2013-01-08 00:59:08 UTC
This patch fixes the manifest parser to handle spaces in names:

http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=bdc4b8b09a249451bc471f1a2f03963559a9fb3a

In addition, we'll have to add a metadata/layout.conf extension that allows specification of allowed file name characters, as mentioned in bug #411127, comment #7.
