Any symlinks, files, or other entities that you manually create in /usr/share and that do not already belong to some package in portage are fair game to be overwritten at any time. If you want to protect a symlink from being overwritten by portage or an automated administrative tool, it needs to go under /usr/local. I want to mark this as "resolved wontfix". @gnome, thoughts? I think time ago the link was skipped to not overwrite it, but I am not sure :/ (In reply to comment #1) > Any symlinks, files, or other entities that you manually create in > /usr/share and that do not already belong to some package in portage are > fair game to be overwritten at any time.

But I agree with this reasoning *** Bug 448376 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Why does the ebuild even set that symlink? I don't understand the assumption that just because I have this package installed that I don't want to use the default X11 cursor. Personally, I think the Adwaita cursor is ugly and prefer the stock cursor, but this behavior prevents me from doing that. Please reconsider removing the src_install override that implements this. *** Bug 489282 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
