Bug 236951 – www-client/opera-9.52: stop warning about files that would be ignored

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2008-09-07 12:17:06 UTC]

Currently, opera's installer warns about files that would be ignored, this is why following einfo is being used:
einfo "It is safe to ignore warnings about failed checksums"
einfo "and about files that would be ignored ..."

Attached patch removes these warnings allowing the drop of these einfos

Reproducible: Always

I would rather not patch install.sh any further. Moreover, it seems upstream would want to fix this at some point:

# TODO: work out what's going on here and replace with something that sets OPERA_ROOTPREFS to where they went !

I'd rather not get rid of the warnings, but make the script more responsive to the situation at hand. If you can fix the TODO in a non Gentoo specific way, then upstream should be a lot happier applying it globally.

With 10.60 this code is going away forever.

OK, thanks :-) (I didn't have enough time for taking care of this, sorry)
