Description Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2003-03-18 22:34:07 UTC
UPX is a binary ebuild, and it's binary should be located in the /opt tree 
because of this. 

This will avoid problems with prelink, as under normal circumstances, UPX 
installs in /usr/bin/upx, and prelink refuses to run with it there, and the 
prelink exclude system works on a directory level only, so you need to move the 
file out for it to work.

The UPX ebuild current contains the current files:
usr/
usr/bin/
usr/bin/upx
usr/share/
usr/share/doc/
usr/share/doc/upx-1.24/
usr/share/doc/upx-1.24/upx.html.gz
usr/share/doc/upx-1.24/README.gz
usr/share/doc/upx-1.24/THANKS.gz
usr/share/doc/upx-1.24/NEWS.gz
usr/share/doc/upx-1.24/upx.doc.gz
usr/share/doc/upx-1.24/COPYING.gz
usr/share/doc/upx-1.24/LICENSE.gz
usr/share/doc/upx-1.24/BUGS.gz
usr/share/man/
usr/share/man/man1/
usr/share/man/man1/upx.1.gz

I've tagged this as Major since it breaks prelink.
