Bug 336775 – sys-apps/portage-2.1.9.3 forces CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=/etc/portage

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Andrew Church 2010-09-11 02:21:35 UTC]

Despite comment #15 in bug 267103, portage-2.1.9.3 not only continues to include /etc/portage in CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, it no longer obeys CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="-/etc/portage" in /etc/make.conf:

# echo 'CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="-/etc/portage"' >>/etc/make.conf
# emerge --info | grep '^Portage\|CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK'
Portage 2.1.9.2 (default/linux/amd64, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.12.1-r1, 2.6.35-gentoo-r5 x86_64)
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo"
# emerge -1 =sys-apps/portage-2.1.9.3
[...]
# emerge --info | grep '^Portage\|CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK'
Portage 2.1.9.3 (default/linux/amd64, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.12.1-r1, 2.6.35-gentoo-r5 x86_64)
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/portage /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo"

The same holds for portage-2.2_rc79.

I think it's just leaking in from your shell environment and you need to source /etc/profile. Try this:

echo $CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK
source /etc/profile
echo $CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK

[Comment 2 Andrew Church 2010-09-11 03:00:52 UTC]

Right you are -- sorry!  (Though it seems odd that CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK should be exported to the environment; is there a reason for that?)

[Comment 3 Zac Medico 2010-09-11 03:54:58 UTC]

It's just a side effect from the earlier portage-2.1.9.x ebuild setting in via /etc/env.d/. Anything that's set in /etc/env.d/ gets exported by /etc/profile.

[Comment 4 Andrew Church 2010-09-11 04:16:33 UTC]

Ah, I see -- thanks for the clarification.  I'll go ahead and close this as INVALID.
