More specifically, quse ignores PORTDIR="/var/portage" in make.conf. $ quse -D useflag use: skipping use.desc: No such file or directory use: skipping use.local.desc: No such file or directory use: skipping arch.list: No such file or directory use: skipping profiles/desc/: No such file or directory $ echo $? 0
Hmm... it appears that this is actually not due to PORTDIR but seems to be some other strange issue. Anyway when I added a printf("%s", portdir); to the quse.c source before all the "skipping" printouts, it output "/usr/portage", which is incorrect. Even `emerge --info` outputs: Repositories: gentoo location: /var/portage sync-type: webrsync sync-uri: rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage priority: -1000
It appears that the issue arises when /etc/portage/make.conf is a directory and not a file. According to `man 5 portage`: /etc/portage/ Files in this directory including make.conf, repos.conf, and any file with a name that begins with "package." can be more than just a flat file. If it is a directory, then all the files in that directory will be sorted in ascending alphabetical order by file name and summed together as if it were a single file. It appears that read_portage_env_file() in main.c successfully opens "/etc/portage/make.conf" but fails during getline() with read(3, 0x3734fc7d000, 4096) = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) which then causes the code to skip the while loop, close the file descriptor and continue as if no make.conf files exist. No attempt is made to read the files in that directory. So this is obviously where the dog is buried. Please fix!
This obviously affects other utilities besides quse as well.
SpanKY, would you please care to comment on why you don't consider this to be a bug? Clearly portage supports make.conf being a directory and do I believe to have a reasonable use-case for having make.conf as a directory. At minimum, the documentation for portage-utils lacks a warning notice about this.
portage-utils has never supported this. in fact, there are *many* things portage supports that portage-utils does not. implementing them all would be a waste of time as most people don't use them, and a disservice as it slows things down. hence, adding support for uncommon things is a feature request.
