Bug 251500 – java-utils-2.eclass: java-pkg_doso does not create target-directory for symlinks

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Fabian Köster 2008-12-18 16:36:19 UTC]

If the first argument passed to java-pkg_doso is a symlink, the target-directory is not created.

Portage logs the following (See attachment for complete log): 

+ ln -s libcom_trolltech_qt_core.so.1.0.0 /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/qtjambi-4.4.3/image//usr/lib/qtjambi-4/libcom_trolltech_qt_core.so
ln: creating symbolic link `/var/tmp/portage/dev-java/qtjambi-4.4.3/image//usr/lib/qtjambi-4/libcom_trolltech_qt_core.so': No such file or directory
+ debug-print '/var/tmp/portage/dev-java/qtjambi-4.4.3/work/qtjambi-src-gpl-4.4.3_01/lib/libcom_trolltech_qt_core.so is a symlink, linking accordanly'

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build the appended ebuild for Qt Jambi
Actual Results:  
The symlinks /usr/lib/qtjambi-4/libcom_trolltech_qt_core.so, libcom_trolltech_qt_core.so.1 and
libcom_trolltech_qt_core.so.1.0
are not copied.

Expected Results:  
The symlinks should be copied, the same way as for example libcom_trolltech_qt_gui.so, libcom_trolltech_qt_gui.so.1 and libcom_trolltech_qt_gui.so.1.0 are.

Why can't you call doso on the symlink target instead of the symlink?

[Comment 6 Fabian Köster 2008-12-26 14:24:59 UTC]

I can do that, but I also want to get the symlinks. So my current workaround is to force the symlink-targets to be copied first:

1) java-pkg_doso "${S}"/lib/*.so.1.0.0 "${S}"/lib/*.so.1.0 "${S}"/lib/*.so.1 "${S}"/lib/*.so

instead of

2) java-pkg_doso "${S}"/lib/*

1) works, 2) does not.

[Comment 7 Fabian Köster 2009-02-23 12:56:39 UTC]

Does anyone work on this?

Use dosym and fix a couple of typos

This patch should fix the issue by using dosym in java-pkg_doso(), which automatically creates the needed directories before the symlink.

Applied, thanks.
