Bug 7150 – suggested patch for gentoolkit - qpkg

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Thompson 2002-08-28 01:45:31 UTC]

When trying to find a package that owns a directory it is natural
to use tab completion, however, a trailing slash will not match
propertly. eg.

qpkg -f /usr/share/pixmaps/

This simple patch will just strip off a trailing slash.

It may be tab dammaged via paste, but its pretty obvious. If there are
any legitmate trailing slashes on some options arguments, it should be
moved to the -f processing area.

Also, Im not enough of an sh guy to figure out how to kill an arbitrary ammount
of trailing slashes, which would be technically better.
