Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2019-11-07 01:27:39 UTC 
media-plugins/alsa-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.1.9-r1.ebuild:  dosym "${ED%/}"/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf \
media-plugins/alsa-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.1.9-r1.ebuild-          /etc/alsa/conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf #670960


Problems with above dosym command:

1. Initial ${D} or ${ED} is unnecessary in first argument (target of symbolic link), and PMS-compliant package managers will issue QA notice.
   PMS (https://projects.gentoo.org/pms/7/pms.html#x1-14800013.4.1):
   """
   13.4.1 Rewriting

   Any absolute symlink whose link starts with D must be rewritten with
   the leading D removed. The package manager should issue a notice when doing this. 
   """

2. Target of symbolic link could be made relative, instead of absolute.


Solution:

dosym ../../../usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf /etc/alsa/conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf
