Bug 102255 – revdep-rebuild g/fbsd support

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-08-12 08:41:51 UTC]

The attached patch applied over revdep-rebuild makes it work on BSD userland  
(at least on G/FBSD, maybe also on G/OSX but not sure). 
 
It's still not a 100% version as it doesn't care if a binary is freebsd's or 
linux's, but as linux emulation is not enabled right now it's not a problem. 
 
Thanks, 
Diego

Is there a way to test that it doesn't work?  It appears to be completely happy
on my osx machine when I run it.  I would expecte to get those stat errors on
OSX too.  Tried to break a dependency, but it didn't work out :(

this would pretty much need a rewrite to actually work with mach-o it looks like.

Perhaps the stat should simply be removed, and a more portable alternative could
be found? This would prevent such headaches when another OS uses yet another
stat. It is used to remove all temporary files if any is over a day old. This
can be done using GNU find, and the FBSD find manpage makes me think this should
work with that too (but I can't actually test it at the moment).

find "${LIST%/*}/." ! -name . -prune -name "${LIST##*/}*" -mtime +0 -exec rm -f
${LIST}* \;

Admittedly, this doesn't work with busybox find (which doesn't recognise -prune
and -exec), but busybox doesn't provide stat either, so that shouldn't really be
much of a problem.

Added to gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre5

Why do I even bother?
