Description Sergey Starosek 2004-06-04 10:24:57 UTC

Currently it's only net-misc/cfengine/files/module:cfportage.

Such files prevent keeping and/or sharing Portage via Samba or storing it on FAT32 (NTFS ?) partitions.


Reproducible: Always

cfengine requires colons in the names of their module files.  There's nothing we can do about it.

Marking as cantfix.

Comment 2 Sergey Starosek 2004-06-04 12:14:11 UTC

Isn't it possible to avoid colons in portage tree but rather rename that file (or whatever) it during installation?
