Bug 93089 – db-4.2.52_p2 warnings (find)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description barthek 2005-05-18 11:17:46 UTC]

during the last phase of emerging db-4.2.52_p2 i see these warnings coming from find:

find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it).  Please specify options before other arguments.

i dont know if this is portage problem or db's ebuild error ?

these warnings are in many ebuilds, actually.

[Comment 2 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-05-21 02:17:47 UTC]

portage/bin $ grep find * | grep maxdepth | grep type 
prepinfo:for x in `find "${z}"/ \( -type f -or -type l \) -maxdepth 1 
-mindepth 1 2>/dev/null` ; do 
prepman:        for y in `find "${x}"/ \( -type f -or -type l \) ! -name 
'.keep' -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 2>/dev/null` ; do 
 
 
So how should these be written? 

[Comment 3 barthek 2005-05-21 12:50:32 UTC]

how about placing 'min/maxdepth' options before 'type' as find suggests?

[Comment 4 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-07-14 05:47:53 UTC]

Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1

Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are 
actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after 
the initial fix was committed. 
 
If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that 
it be reopened.
