Bug 544166 – net-fs/openafs-1.6.11: QA Notice: This ebuild installs into paths that should be created at runtime.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

QA: other
QA Notice: This ebuild installs into paths that should be created at runtime.
 To fix, simply do not install into these directories.  Instead, your package
 should create dirs on the fly at runtime as needed via init scripts/etc...

  var/cache
  var/cache/openafs
  var/cache/openafs/.keep_net-fs_openafs-0

$ eix -e openafs
[I] net-fs/openafs
     Available versions:  1.6.2-r1 1.6.5-r1 (~)1.6.11{tbz2}[1] {doc kerberos +modules pam}
     Installed versions:  1.6.11{tbz2}[1](11:22:27 PM 03/22/2015)(doc kerberos modules pam)

If I remember correctly, that location is referenced in /etc/openafs/cacheinfo as the location of the OpenAFS client cache. Instead of installing this path it should be sufficient to give instructions how to properly configure the client.

This location is actually hardcoded in openafs-1.6.11.ebuild:
- line 93 has the contents of the cacheinfo file
- line 140 has the keepdir 
For OpenAFS clients, it should make no difference to have the cache partition mounted somewhere else than /var/cache/openafs.

Rolling out with the 1.6.12 vbump

Fixed in 1.6.12 version bump.
