$ svn commit -m "Restore follow symlinks option (-L) to the find /var/db/pkg command so that revdep-rebuild works even when /var/db/pkg is a symlink. (Bug #317571)" Sending bin/revdep-rebuild Transmitting file data . Committed revision 777. Created attachment 233413 [details, diff]
A simple patch
Added a trailing slash to the pkg dir so it will work with symlinks.
Disregard my patch. -L is 10^6 better. I would, however, up the severity of this bug since it prevents revdep-rebuild from working at all for people who use the mentioned symlink. It's been dogging me for some time but this is the 1st chance I've had to look into it. Released in gentoolkit-0.3.0_rc11 |
