[Description David E. Narváez 2013-02-25 04:06:27 UTC]

While cleaning up my /var/tmp/portage, I noticed this package left behind some folders

# find /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/chardet-2.0.1-r1/ -maxdepth 1 -type d

[Comment 1 Mike Gilbert 2013-02-26 15:58:33 UTC]

Hmm... I guess this would be a problem for any ebuild which sets S=${WORKDIR} and uses python-r1.eclass.

[Comment 2 Michał Górny 2013-02-26 16:02:37 UTC]

Ay, seems like a bit of design flaw. I don't think it's important enough to be addressed in a hurry. I'd rather wait for my new multibuild.eclass and fix it there :>.

[Comment 3 Mike Gilbert 2013-02-26 16:05:28 UTC]

I'll work around it in chardet for now then.

[Comment 4 Mike Gilbert 2014-01-11 23:29:01 UTC]

I think this is no longer an issue.
