Description tedheadster 2017-07-19 21:11:31 UTC

The example code blindly calls the function 'epatch_user' even if it is not defined. This gives the appearance of an error during rebuilds. Instead replace the code thusly:

- epatch_user
+ [[ $( type -t epatch_user ) = "function" ]] && epatch_user

So if epatch_user does not exist, it will not be called.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the example code
2. Perform a rebuild with patched code
3. See lots of '/etc/portage/bashrc: line 12: epatch_user: command not found' errors.
Actual Results:  
Error messages.

Expected Results:  
No error messages.

It is a wiki; update the page or use the Talk page to discuss your proposed changes. :)
Unless this is one of the restricted documents like the Handbook, no need to file a bug to request (or make) a change on the wiki.

Thanks for your contribution nonetheless!
