Bug 99823 – app-portage/genlop looks for /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp, while recent versions of sandbox do not use it anymore

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2005-07-21 12:26:23 UTC]

Starting with a recent sys-apps/sandbox version, /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp is no 
longer used. A strace on 'genlop --current' reveals it uses that file to find 
currently running merges so it always returns the same result.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. While merging something (anything)
2. Do: genlop --current
Actual Results:  
epia ~ # genlop -c
!!! Error: no working merge found.

Expected Results:

strace output for genlop (app-portage/genlop-0.30.3)

Output from this command: strace -ogenlop.strace genlop -c

[Comment 2 Barry Grussling 2005-07-21 22:48:51 UTC]

Same thing here on a fresh install.

[Comment 3 Roger 2005-07-24 00:12:56 UTC]

I've got the same problem here also with app-portage/genlop-0.30.2

$ genlop -c
!!! Error: no working merge found.

[Comment 4 Jerry Kiely 2005-07-26 05:41:35 UTC]

Same problem here, both with app-portage/genlop-0.30.2 and 
app-portage/genlop-0.30.3.

[Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2005-07-26 06:00:26 UTC]

Please stop reporting confirmations.

The problem is not caused by any specific version of genlop, but by a change in 
recent versions of sys-apps/sandbox which are now (being) keyworded as stable.

patch against app-portage/genlop-0.30.3

Here's a little patch that I use.
It uses ps instead of /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp

It probably doesn't need to use xargs, but my perl sucks.

genlop-0.30.3-r1.ebuild

Here's the ebuild that uses CJ's patch to fix the problem. The patch needs to
be named genlop-0.30.3-r1-sandbox.patch for it to work. It's my first ebuild so
sorry if I made a mistake.

[Comment 8 CJ van den Berg 2005-08-02 05:31:56 UTC]

This is fixed in genlop-0.30.4 (see bug #100938)

[Comment 9 Alec Warner (RETIRED) 2005-10-18 07:22:56 UTC]

Since it's fixed there :)

Wrong reason to close...
