Err, your suggestion was: * Remove automatic directory making for do* So, yeah I really fail to see the point of doing stuff like this: -dobin foo +dodir /usr/bin +dobin foo or -exeinto /usr/share/${PN}/scripts -doexe scripts/* +exeinto /usr/share/${PN}/scripts +dodir /usr/share/${PN}/scripts +doexe scripts/* all over the tree. > If anyone really *is* relying upon dosym to create a directory, rather > than having it happen by accident, adding in a dodir beforehand when > switching EAPIs is easy, and will prevent accidental directory creation= =2E And who will wade through the entire tree and check for such stuff?

Well of course it's the users who will see it, see above. It's not like that we would have 100 volunteers around to drop everything they have in their hands a go spend days on changing ebuilds that are not broken just because of this idea. --=20 Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:jakub@gentoo.org GPG signature: http://subkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=3Dget&search=3D0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3= D9E ... still no signature ;) --------------enig709838ECE513805BD860BD49 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGH7inhxfV/c66PZ4RA4LnAKC+DHxFS0arDDbYjhBUnFbaje7UtACfY7+p +tJ3htYk5W488E+OUfdHKo4= =QpSi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig709838ECE513805BD860BD49-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
