Description Mike Lieberman 2002-07-21 13:27:48 UTC
I noticed sometimes after doing an 'emerge --update world' there was a "0755" directory in the directory I did the emerge from.  I grepped through emerge and found this line:
$ grep -n 0755 /usr/bin/emerge
911:            os.makedirs(myportdir,0755)

Could mkdir() be necessary instead of makedirs()?
I am using portage 2.0.13

Thanks

thats crazy
how about this, after `emerge --update world`'s where a 0755 dir was created, 
could you post the list of packages that were installed/updated ?
Comment 2 Mike Lieberman 2002-07-24 12:22:56 UTC
There it is again.  After doing emerge rsync and emerge --update world, an 0755/ directory was created in my home directory (from where I ran it).  It updated snort and postfix.
Comment 3 Mike Lieberman 2002-08-19 14:27:05 UTC
There it is again.  It was created immediately after "emerge -u world" updated the postfix package to postfix-1.1.11-r5.

Is this still and issue? Verifiy it with >=portage-2.0.38, please.
