Description Väinö Järvelä 2003-02-06 14:21:48 UTC

Hello,


I noticed that even if i have no space left on /usr, Portage will try to copy
stuff from sandbox to live-system. And there will be a lot of "!!! [Errno 28] No
space left on device" errors. It isn't a problem, but it would be nicer if it
stopped the process on the first error.


Regards,
Väinö Järvelä (Kaali)

and/or calculated the needed space before starting the merge and if not enough space was found to die using a message like 'not enough space on your partition, please make room and then run ebuild <ebuild> qmerge' ... of course this might be tricky with ppl who mount /usr and other weird mounts ...

Portage stops now and displays the exception causing the stop.
