Fabulous. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 327641 *** Please unmask it for amd64. I installed tar-1.23-r4 by ebuild directly. All seems to work properly. #ls /etc/make.profile -ld lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 62 May 16 20:58 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome So could you unmask it? Thanks for reporting your successful testing results for tar-1.23-r4 The tar-1.23-r4 ebuild is already marked "testing" for amd64, but it is less than a month old so we need to wait at least another week before requesting it be stabled. Since it is such a core package, the devs may want to give it even more time to make sure new bugs don't show up from the fix; in the meantime, people who run across this particular problem can add the new tar to /etc/portage/package.keywords Thus I suggest waiting a week or two and then check to see if there are bugs reported against tar-1.23-r4 -- if not, please feel free to open a new one to request stabling, referring to this endless-loop issue as motivation to mark the recent one stable. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 327641 *** |
