Description Eugene Cormier 2013-04-25 20:51:59 UTC

eix returns the following error after I migrated my make.conf from a file to a folder:
Reading Portage settings ..
bool VarsReader::read(const char*): Can't map file '/etc/portage/make.conf'


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update portage to version 2.1.11.62
2. migrate make.conf from a file to a folder
3. run eix-sync, eix-update or eix
Actual Results:  
error when it tries to find the make.conf file

Expected Results:  
it should work with the folder

Fixed in current eix master branch on BerliOS (>=eix-0.28.5)
(Live ebuild available from the mv overlay).

Also things like /etc/eixrc can now be dirs.
Please report if you observe any problems.
