Bug 815880 – sys-libs/pam: remove use of gen_usr_ldscript

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description William Hubbs 2021-10-03 04:29:23 UTC]

Since pam does not install static libraries anywhere, you do not need to
worry about using gen_usr_ldscript.

This patch removes the usr-ldscript eclass from inherit and installs the
pam libraries in /$(get_libdir) instead of /usr/$(get_libdir).

u don't need a revbump for this since it affects a use flag.
Please apply it or let me know if I can.

Thanks,

William

Why would you want to change the libdir directory?

[Comment 3 Marek Szuba (RETIRED) 2021-11-20 00:31:20 UTC]

Fun fact, sys-libs/pam-1.5.2-r1 inheriting usr-ldscript.eclass causes it to effectively switch to USE=-split-usr mode.

It doesn’t inherit it?
