The mpd-ebuild (Music player daemon) tries to create two logfiles in /var/log/mpd{,.error}.log Here is the fix: --- /usr/portage/media-sound/mpd/mpd-0.11.5.ebuild 2004-12-19 07:08:45.000000000 +0100 +++ /home/lars/mpd-0.11.5-r1.ebuild 2004-12-23 16:38:48.264048054 +0100 @@ -75,11 +75,6 @@ dodir /usr/share/mpd/playlists keepdir /usr/share/mpd/playlists dodir /usr/share/mpd/ - insinto /var/log - touch ${T}/blah - insopts -m0640 -o mpd -g audio - newins ${T}/blah mpd.log - newins ${T}/blah mpd.error.log } pkg_postinst() { @@ -88,4 +83,12 @@ einfo "http://www.musicpd.org/wiki/moin.cgi/MpdFAQ if you are having problems." einfo einfo "The default config now binds the daemon strictly to localhost, rather then all available IPs." + insinto /var/log + touch ${T}/blah + insopts -m0640 -o mpd -g audio + for logfile in mpd.log mpd.error ; do + if [ ! -e ${logfile} ] ; then + newins ${T}/blah ${logfile} + fi + done }
The existing ebuild code is fine; with what you're proposing, portage essentially loses track of those files- additionally, it's a minor crapshot if those files are created or not for distributing binpkgs. I made a minor screwup initially in not creating those log files initially, and should've had those files created from the start- the current approach is the correct approach, just collision-protect (a useful feature, but not one that's on by default exempting osx) is complaining.
