Bug 89210 – Wrong einfo in noxmms ebuild, proposes a symlink on itself

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Hüwe 2005-04-15 12:10:37 UTC]

The noxmms ebuild suggest the following and puts it out after emerging via einfo:

pkg_postinst() {
    einfo "If you do not plan on installing xmms, you may want to setup the following symlink before"
    einfo "installing xmms plugins."
    einfo "/usr/bin/xmms-config -> /usr/bin/xmms-config"
}

But a Symlink from /usr/bin/xmms-config to /usr/bin/xmms-config is utter nonsense ;-)

I suggest rather the following:
 ln -s /usr/bin/noxmms-config /usr/bin/xmms-config


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.cat /usr/portage/media-sound/noxmms/noxmms-1.2.7.ebuild
2.OR emerge noxmms
3.

Actual Results:  
If you do not plan on installing xmms, you may want to setup the following
symlink before
installing xmms plugins.
/usr/bin/xmms-config -> /usr/bin/xmms-config



Expected Results:  
If you do not plan on installing xmms, you may want to setup the following
symlink before
installing xmms plugins.
/usr/bin/noxmms-config -> /usr/bin/xmms-config
for example by ln -s /usr/bin/noxmms-config /usr/bin/xmms-config




perl -pi -e 's/\/usr\/bin\/xmms-config -> \/usr\/bin\/xmms-config/
\/usr\/bin\/noxmms-config -> \/usr\/bin\/xmms-config/'
/usr/portage/media-sound/noxmms/noxmms-1.2.7.ebuild

should help ;-)

p.s.: I guess the linebreak after 'before' is unnessary too
