Description Benjamin Lee 2010-12-05 23:55:49 UTC
Due to its statically linked Python installer, app-emulation/vmware-workstation is always rebuilt by python-updater.

The relevant output from 'python-updater -p -v -v -v':

 * Checking app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.5.4.246459:0
 *   Adding to list: app-emulation/vmware-workstation:0
 *     check: static_linking [ Binaries linked against Python static libraries f
ound:
 *       /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/vmware/installer/python/python
 *     ]

Since this is a binary distribution that cannot be recompiled against the system's Python version, it should be ignored by python-updater.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install app-emulation/vmware-workstation.
2. Install app-admin/python-updater-0.8.
3. Run python-updater.
