Description Sebastian Lüttich 2010-04-09 06:03:41 UTC
line no. 55 in said file reads as:

touch "${ROOT}/etc/X11/XvMCConfig" 2&>1 > /dev/null

which causes the creation of the empty files called 1|2. This line should be changed to

touch "${ROOT}/etc/X11/XvMCConfig" 2>&1 > /dev/null

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. call eselect xvmc set [whatever]
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
eselect creates empty trash-files.

Expected Results:  
set the appropriate xvmc-system but don't let eselect creat files

Fixed in eselect-xvmc-0.3
Comment 2 Faustus 2011-08-30 20:10:28 UTC
Is it possible to fix in the stable 0.2 as well? These files are annoying.
