Bug 64780 – portage does not merge directories correctly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description petre rodan (RETIRED) 2004-09-20 11:50:51 UTC]

during merge the SELinux labels are not set on the destination _directories_.

for S_ISREG, S_ISBLK, S_ISLNK, ... special care is taken (either by using selinux.secure_copy, selinux.secure_symlink), but for directories there is no labeling during the merge process.

have a look at my patch. it works for me :)

just realized that there is more than one place where labels have to be set for
merged directories
