Bug 300229 – gentoolkit-0.3.0_rc8: revdep-rebuild: syntax error

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2010-01-08 22:27:48 UTC]

[16:04] <zmedico> FuzzyRay: gentoolkit 0.3.0_rc8 here and revdep-rebuild gives an error message for my EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS: /usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 1020: let: --load-average=2.5: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".5")
[16:04] <zmedico> not sure if it's been reported already
[16:05] <FuzzyRay> zmedico: It hasn't
[16:07] <FuzzyRay> We're not parsing something right from portageq, that is supposed to be your PORTAGE_NICENESS value
[16:10] <zmedico> funky
[16:12] <zmedico> FuzzyRay: you might to like emerge-webrsync: eval $(portageq envvar -v FEATURES FETCHCOMMAND GENTOO_MIRRORS)
[16:13] <zmedico> except the SEARCH_DIRS and *_MASK vars look tricky
[16:13] <zmedico> maybe do a backup of those first

revdep-rebuild portageq patch

Zac: This is a minimal change which doesn't break my system.

Use eval portageq envvar -v ....

This one uses eval $(portageq envvar -v ...) to evaluate all variables

Thanks, I tested both patches and they both mad the error go away.
