Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-07-31 21:07:44 UTC 
instead of:
/var/tmp/portage/elfutils-0.120.portage_lockfile

it should be:
/var/tmp/portage/.portage_lockfile.elfutils-0.120
Comment 1 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2006-09-01 15:23:51 UTC 
It currently uses the default lockfile naming scheme from the portage_locks module.  Should we change the scheme globally?  I'd rather not have a variety of special case naming schemes...

btw I am personally happy with visible lock files. But I am not aware of old UNIX habots on this topic.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-12-04 08:37:12 UTC 
using .portage_lockfile.* for everything sounds fine to me
Comment 4 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2006-12-07 17:16:13 UTC 
In svn r5214 all lock files are now hidden.
Comment 5 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2006-12-08 14:12:13 UTC 
This has been released in 2.1.2_rc3.
