Bug 97694 – ebuild(1) error messages are too vague

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: VERIFIED LATER

[Description Martin Mokrejš 2005-07-02 01:23:16 UTC]

ebuild(1) breaks when the package name contains underscores? Compare behaviour for "openafs_snap-0.0.ebuild" and "openafs-0.0.ebuild" below. Googling around for this error messages points me to set 
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" in /etc/make.conf (but that's what I have already).

# pwd
/usr/local/portage/net-fs/openafs
# ebuild openafs-0.0.ebuild digest
 * Please upgrade your package (openafs-0.0) to use toolchain-funcs.eclass

So what's wrong?

Sorry for the dupes, I've waited several minutes for an answer from
bugs.gentoo.org before re-clicking the 'Commit' button to submit the bugreport.

You did not rename the directory together w/ the ebuild, i.e. net-fs/openafs !=
net-fs/openafs_snap

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2005-07-02 07:12:58 UTC]

jakub is correct ... the package name of the ebuild (openafs_snap) is not the
same as the dir you are in (openafs)

[Comment 7 Martin Mokrejš 2005-07-02 07:18:48 UTC]

Yes, I aggree. But couldn't be ebuild(1) more user friendly? ;)
Thanks. "error reading net-fs/openafs_snap-0.0" doesn't tell me why. Is
something missing, are permission wrong or why "doebuild(): aux_get()" happened?

I hope you understand my objections. Thanks anyway fro quick resolution of what
is the problem. I always forget about this requirement.

Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the 
bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of 
portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and 
delaying the next version's progress. 
 
Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can 
be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;)

Closing due to old age.
