Description Navid Zamani 2009-06-08 01:52:10 UTC
This is a really simple one.

Envy24control, part of alsa-tools (version 1.0.20 here), does create a directory with the path "$HOME/envy24control". Note the missing dot after the slash.

This in not nice, and rather messy.
Since it's such a quick fix, I hope the maintainer can, well… quickly fix it. :)

Any more infos needed? (I think, obviously not, but one never knows…)

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install »=media-sound/alsa-tools-1.0.20«.
2. Run »envy24control«.
3. »ls $HOME«.
4. …
5. PROFIT! ^^

Actual Results:  
Desktop/ Documents/ bin/ envy24control/

Expected Results:  
Desktop/ Documents/ bin/

(Loss of function: A clean $HOME. :)

The patch, to change the config dir.

Alright, I created a patch, and it's working fine.

I just think that it would be more cool, to move all config dirs to a correct place, or at least tell the user about it. Everything else would absolutely not be cool. Unfortunately, I'm still an ebuild noob, and don't know how to do this.

Anyone?

See bug #273137, for the ebuild that uses this patch, and another fix.

Beware that the same masking reasons that are true for alsa-tools-1.0.20-r1, are still true for this -r2. (You can just rename it to -r1 if you know what you do, and think this is the proper way.)

Fixed in alsa-tools-1.0.20-r2.ebuild, alsa-tools-1.0.21-r1.ebuild, alsa-tools-1.0.22.ebuild

Thanks for submitting
