Description Chris L. Mason 2004-10-09 13:15:16 UTC
The merge of bittorrent almost works, but fails at the end because of an incompatible cp option:

Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/btreannounce.py to 755
changing mode of /var/tmp/portage/bittorrent-3.4.2-r1/image/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/btrename.py to 755
changing mode of /var/tmp/portage/bittorrent-3.4.2-r1/image/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/btshowmetainfo.py to 755
changing mode of /var/tmp/portage/bittorrent-3.4.2-r1/image/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/bttest.py to 755
changing mode of /var/tmp/portage/bittorrent-3.4.2-r1/image/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/bttrack.py to 755
rm: /var/tmp/portage/bittorrent-3.4.2-r1/image//usr/bin/*gui.py: No such file or directory
cp: illegal option -- a
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src target
       cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src1 ... srcN directory
gsed: can't read /var/tmp/portage/bittorrent-3.4.2-r1/image//etc/mailcap: No such file or directory

(the file trying to be copied *was* /etc/mailcap which is the reason for the second error.)

The macosx cp commands doesn't support -a.  Using "cp -pPR" might be a universal option.

Also the tools (btdownloadcurses.py, etc.) are installed in:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin

However, they are never symlinked into /usr/bin.

Note that I tried this with bittorrent-3.4.2-r1.

Should be fixed in newest versions.
