Bug 62071 – net-misc/rsync-2.6.0-r3 installs cleanly on macos, with one caveat

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robin Munn 2004-08-28 19:58:19 UTC]

OS X 10.3 (Panther) comes with rsync 2.5.7, but I wanted a more recent version, so I added the "macos" keyword to the net-misc/rsync-2.6.0-r3 package, making no other changes. It appears to work: it compiles and runs, and "emerge sync" works correctly with the new version.

The one caveat: since OS X 10.3 (Panther) comes with rsync 2.5.7, there's already a /usr/bin/rsync, and so collision-protect refuses to merge. I simply renamed /usr/bin/rsync to /usr/bin/rsync-orig-2.5.7 and then portage allowed the rest to merge. This may be a reason not to add the macos keyword to the ebuild, but I wanted to at least file the bug so that there'd be a record that rsync-2.6.0-r3 works on macos.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/net-misc
2. cp -r /usr/portage/net-misc/rsync /usr/local/portage
3. ekeyword macos /usr/local/portage/net-misc/rsync/rsync-2.6.0-r3
4. mv /usr/bin/rsync /usr/bin/rsync-orig-2.5.7
5. emerge -av net-misc/rsync
Actual Results:  
rsync compiled and installed successfully.

Due to policy we cannot overwrite Apple provided files on ppc-macos. Please test for ppc-darwin.

This depends on bug 67162. Will take a look at it when 67162 has gotten somewhere. Until then, this 
bug should remain frozen.
