When update-ca-certificates is run without --root, it generates absolute symlinks. When it is run with --root, it generates relative symlinks. You probably ran update-ca-certificates manually without --root at some point, and then the ebuild ran it with --root. We should probably update ca-certificates-20150426-root.patch to make the behavior more consistent. Yes, I ran update-ca-certificates without the --root option, because I needed to add a certificate from /usr/local/share/ca-certificates. I was not aware of the Gentoo specific patched in --root option, since: - `man update-ca-certificates` contains no references to it - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Certificates contains no references to it I just also ran update-ca-certificates with the --help option, again no explanation. The patch itself also has no relevant comments added to it. If this is option is required it probably should be documented somewhere. (In reply to Zoltan Puskas from comment #2) > If this is option is required it probably should be documented somewhere. The option is not required. Adding it to the man page sounds like a good idea regardless. |
