Bug 533240 – dev-util/android-ndk-10b - triggers python-updater reinstall ?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Navid Zamani 2014-12-21 23:47:46 UTC]

If andoid-ndk is installed,
then every time python-updater is run,
android-ndk is reinstalled,
no matter what.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run python-updater.
2. android-ndk is reinstalled.
3. Immediately run python-updater again.
Actual Results:  
4. android-ndk is reinstalled again. :(

Expected Results:  
4. android-ndk should only be reinstalled if necessary. :)

The android-ndk ebuild does not have a configure phase nor a install phase.
Which makes this rather unnecessary in any case, unless I’m missing something.

Since android-ndk is *huge* (>48k files!), this still takes long and hogs the CPU a lot (with iowait), even without any compilation going on. (Not everyone can afford an SSD. :/ )

(Even with .gz it was so lange, I had to recompress it.)

There is nothing in the android-ndk ebuild to trigger anything though.
It’s just a bunch of files being copied over.
(Looks more like a python-updater bug. (Especially given the generally really bad state of that tool.))

Does python-updater give any output explaining why?

    dev-util/android-ndk: Make python-updater ignore the package
    
    Package-Manager: portage-2.2.20.1

Fixed thanks. the package might need to be re-installed once before python-updater sees the change unfortunately. but after that it will be fine.
