I'm using deltup according to the description found on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=215262 which is very helpfull. But when I update sys-libs/readline I have problems with the naming-scheme of the patch-files. They are named this way: readline43-001 readline43-002 readline43-003 ... So the end of the files gets always interpreted as version-number and confuses deltup. Expecially if you turn on to automatically delete old packages. Better would be something like this: 001_readline43 002_readline43 ... or a name describing the contents of the patches. So programs like deltup or other programs which try to clean the distfiles-archive by checking for e.g. the newest version won't get confused. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install deltup 2. activate removing of old distfiles in deltup 3. update sys-libs/readline Actual Results: the readline-patches couldn't be retrieved because readline43-001 was considered to be an old version of readline43-002 and got deleted and so on, recursively. In the end there was just the last patch-file and portage failed. Expected Results: It was expected that the last part of the name of the readline-patches is not interpreted as version-number, this means the naming-scheme should not confuse programs. emerge info is not needed here...
this problem is fixed... just put "^readline" in your /etc/deltup/do_not_remove
oh, btw, do not post bugs about this here... Brian Harring will not fix these bugs - and deltup/getdelta is neither in the official portage tree, nor do I see that it will get back into it. Post bugs to nlissne@linux01.gwdg.de
Like Nicolai stated, the ebuilds no longer in the tree.... so closing WONTFIX Sidenote, Nicolai- have you taken over development of deltup? Or is JJW back in some form?
