Bug 253172 – app-portage/esearch keywording

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2008-12-30 18:40:57 UTC]

app-portage/esearch is no longer being maintained upstream and parts of the current stable, esearch-0.7.1 are broken with portage 2.1.6. Even though it is no longer maintained, I am keeping it around since it still functions fine (with some patches) and is a usable utility.

I added esearch-0.7.1-r5 which fixes the known problems with portage 2.1 and 2.2 last night to the tree.  

Arch teams, would you please either mark esearch-0.7.1-r5 stable or re-keyword esearch-0.7.1 to unstable so that I can get it removed from the tree.

Few issues on amd64:

-Every package shows:
      Size of downloaded files: [no/bad digest]

-The -e flag is messed up:
 # esearch -e esearch
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/esearch", line 322, in <module>
    searchEbuilds("%s/%s/" % (portdir, pkg[1]), True, searchdef, "")
  File "/usr/bin/esearch", line 88, in searchEbuilds
    pkgs[-1].append(path + file)
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'append'

-bug 231223 is not fixed with the -v flag
# esearch -v esearch
/usr/lib/portage/pym/output.py:39: DeprecationWarning: DEPRECATION NOTICE: The output module was replaced by portage.output

I hate to be critical, but did this get any testing?

It did get testing late at night against the bugs where patches were applied.  I just caught the deprecation notice with -v as well.  

Can you please re-keyword 0.7.1 unstable, since I obviously need to do more work before we can get another version stable?  0.7.1 is broken much worse than this version and I would prefer not having a stable version to having a broken stable version.

reverted 0.7.1 down to ~amd64 per request.

[Comment 4 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2008-12-31 03:44:53 UTC]

After discussion on IRC, we decided to just package mask esearch-0.7.1. Users can either switch to the unstable version of esearch or convert over to app-portage/eix
