i would love to use keepdir... this is kind of a special situation though... the .keep files are only created utilized and deleted during the install as keeping the .keep files in the ${D} after installation leaves you with a malfunctioning mail server... any ideas? My gut feel is that .keep files realy aren't needed duing the install. Hoping a QA person may have more insight. max, can you have a look at this one please? seems to relate to the postfix issue you had recently I do agree that daniel is correct, instead of touch'ing the .keep files, keepdir should be done instead ok, I just fixed postfix. Essentially the best way to do this, is create the directories during pkg_postinst() (look at postfix-2.0.19.ebuild). But be sure those directories don't exist after src_install() because portage will blow them away on version upgrade if they're empty. I remove them during src_install() and add them back during pkg_postinst() in postfix. Something similar should work here. this can be closed if xmail-1.16.ebuild is removed. BTW why the drop in ppc keyword in 1.20? I removed xmail-1.16 from portage, as 1.16-r1 supersedes it. Thanks everyone. As for the dropped keyword, it will be best if ppc team has a look on it. It was dropped when merlin@g.o bumped xmail from 1.16-r1 to 1.20. CCing both ppc@ and merlin@. ~ppc is in xmail-1.21.ebuild 3 months ago. If we resolve bug 91141, this one can be closed. Removing ppc from CC since it's already keyworded. Closing, thanks everyone. |
