I second this one. From bug-wrangler's point of view this would hopefully help at least with those bug-reporters who actually read the messages portage prints out after an emerge failed... As I already mentioned on irc, I think it would be really helpful if at a failed emerge directly one file would be created, which the user just has to attach. This file could contain emerge --info, emerge -vp of the current package, the "top most build" error, it could be too diffifult to grep it out of the build.log, and any other information we like to add. This creation should be triggered by a feature so that we have a maintainer mode for that. Created attachment 194090 [details, diff]

Change emerge -pq $CATEGORY/$PF to emerge -pqv =$CATEGORY/$PF. Thanks to Poly-C.
Thanks, this is in svn r14521. This is fixed in 2.1.7 and 2.2_rc45. |
