Bug 125919 – portage 2.1_pre6 complains about find options when using INSTALL_MASK

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-03-12 04:53:55 UTC]

When having INSTALL_MASK set to a directory (like /usr/share/info, as it's done by FEATURES=noinfo), latest portage complains about find options used incorrectly:

find: warning: Unix filenames usually don't contain slashes (though pathnames do).  That means that '-name /usr/share/info' will probably evaluate to false all the time on this system.  You might find the '-wholename' test more useful, or perhaps '-samefile'.  Alternatively, if you are using GNU grep, you could use 'find ... -print0 | grep -FzZ /usr/share/info'.

As the warning tells, -wholename would probably do the right thing, but that's a GNU specific option; rather the -path option does the same thing and it's supported also by BSDish find.

HTH,
Diego

Created attachment 81970 [details, diff]
use -path instead of -name for compatibility with BSDish find

Will this work for everyone?

Thanks, this is in svn r2863 and released in 2.1_pre6-r1.
