Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

2012-01-11 15:16:00 UTC

to reproduce:
 pkgdir=$(portageq envvar PKGDIR)
 emerge -qb app-text/tree
 tar tf $pkgdir/app-text/tree-1.6.0.tbz2 | head -3
 quickpkg app-text/tree
 tar tf $pkgdir/app-text/tree-1.6.0.tbz2 | head -3

the first tar shows:
./
./usr/
./usr/bin/

but the second shows:
usr/
usr/bin/
usr/bin/tree

this is problematic for external scripts which manually unpack things ...

tested with Portage 2.1.10.41
