Bug 63533 – plan ebuild installs things to / and is ~x86

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Waiblinger 2004-09-10 04:06:20 UTC]

For plan beeing an old school calendar program, it seems in a very bad shape in the portage tree. For once it is ~x86 which is surely not needed, for it is used to be a reliable program. Then it seems to install loads of things directly to / whis is not nice after all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge plan
2.doing the package.keywords thing
3.emerge plan

Actual Results:  
On the first step it gives you the ~x86 masked
After 3. it spreads files into / which is surely not needed

Expected Results:  
It should be x86 for it is trustworthy.
And a way should be found to prevent it installing things to /

I like the program to much to leave it as it is, when i have the time i'll post 
s new ebuild, if you haven't done till then.

the patch for the ebuild fixes the "install files to /"-problem.
