Subject: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH] metadata/install-qa-check.d: make the FHS paths warning easier to read
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2024 23:54:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240329035439.11381-1-eschwartz93@gmail.com> (raw)

 * QA Notice: The ebuild is installing to one or more unexpected paths:
 *
 *   /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/legion-9999/image/usr/bin/legion_prof_files
 *   /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/legion-9999/image/usr/bin/serializer_examples
 *
 * Please fix the ebuild to use correct FHS/Gentoo policy paths.

This message is hard to understand. Is it saying that the resulting
package contains files prefixed with ${D} which would be immensely
broken? Is it saying that these paths are *directories* and the FHS does
not approve of directories in /usr/bin/*/?

In fact, it's the latter. Fix this in two ways:

- clarify that it's an unexpected directory, not just some kind of path

- strip ${D} so that people can better visualize what sort of path gets
  installed. This has the downside of not being able to copy/paste the
  path in order to inspect the image directory, but I think this is a
  very small downside. Usually by the time you see this message, portage
  has cleaned up. And if it hasn't, you can still copy/paste that from:

  Completed installing sys-cluster/legion-9999 into /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/legion-9999/image
