Version 0.5.1.0 is now considered stable according to Hackage at https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tar-0.5.1.0 . Updating this package is a requirement if using ghc version 8.4.3 since the current version of dev-haskell/tar in both ::gentoo and ::haskell (0.5.0.3) fails to compile. (This is a known issue to upstream and it was fixed back in February under https://github.com/haskell/tar/issues/28 .) Reproducible: Always
Sounds good!

There is a problem with this commit of the version bump to dev-haskell/tar-0.5.1.0 The DESCRIPTION line ends with an escaped back slash: DESCRIPTION="Reading, writing and manipulating \\" Which leads the 'esync' command from app-portage/esearch-1.3-r2 to fail with the message: esync -v * Importing old portage tree Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.4/esync", line 5, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/esearch/sync.py", line 304, in main success = sync(config) File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/esearch/sync.py", line 197, in sync tree_old = gettree("old", config) File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/esearch/sync.py", line 132, in gettree from esyncoldtree import db File "/tmp/esyncoldtree.py", line 3835 ('tar', 'dev-haskell/tar', False, '0.5.1.0', '0.5.0.3', '38 kB', 'http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tar', 'Reading, writing and manipulating \', 'BSD'), ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax According to this ebuild the file was generated by hackport 0.5.4.9999 So I am not sure where this bug should be fixed... Here or in esearch or in hackport... but I think here the description line ending in an escaped backslash is not a proper one...

While being valid bash I can see why it's problematic to tools handling backslash. I'll make simpler form of DESCRIPTION. > Which leads the 'esync' command from app-portage/esearch-1.3-r2 to fail with > the message: > > esync -v > * Importing old portage tree > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.4/esync", line 5, in <module> > main() > File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/esearch/sync.py", line 304, in > main > success = sync(config) > File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/esearch/sync.py", line 197, in > sync > tree_old = gettree("old", config) > File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/esearch/sync.py", line 132, in > gettree > from esyncoldtree import db > File "/tmp/esyncoldtree.py", line 3835 > ('tar', 'dev-haskell/tar', False, '0.5.1.0', '0.5.0.3', '38 kB', > 'http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tar', 'Reading, writing and manipulating > \', 'BSD'), > > ^ > SyntaxError: invalid syntax > > > > According to this ebuild the file was generated by hackport 0.5.4.9999 > > > So I am not sure where this bug should be fixed...

I think both have a bug: - hackport used to generate nicer DESCRIPTION before (or was it manually cleaned?): DESCRIPTION="Reading, writing and manipulating \".tar\" archive files" - esync/portage should handle trailing backslash in metadata stricter (or stop allowing backslashes)
