[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH] _unmerge_dirs: revisit parents of removed symlinks (bug 640058)

2018-07-12 Thread Zac Medico
When removal of a symlink is triggered by removal of the directory
that it points to, revisit the parent directories of the symlink.

Fair enough. I suspect in line with the other comments, it would be
optimal if said commit hook mentioned something along the lines of:

 "Perhaps try reforging signature/committer data with git rebase --no-ff 
origin/master"

In its failure message? Making the way forward obvious in this edge
case would remove any residual cause for partial objections :)

Yes, it is, and well we can't very well change the documentation until
we can get an end to this new default path bikeshed.  Council will
need to make the decision (soon I hope)...  Then we make all the changes
necessary.

Point of order:

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/snapshots and numerous pieces of
documentation call it "portage"

The confusion is ingrained by documentation.

Re: [gentoo-dev] rfc: moving default location of portage tree

2018-07-12 Thread Vadim A. Misbakh-Soloviov
> I guess /var/portage is not  a terrible choice.

Well, I double that.
I've already use the following structure:
|- /var/portage/
|   |- repos
|   |   |- gentoo
|   |   |- reponame1
|   |   |- reponame2
|   |- distfiles
|   |   |- ...
|   |   |- ...
|   |- packages
|   |   |- ...
|   |   |- ...
|   |- meta
|   |- layman
|   |- ... # (used to be used for layman stuff until 
eselect-repository)


And I think it's pretty fine and usefull, especially because distfiles/
packages does not belong to one specific repo (gentoo) as it does with /usr/
portage.

Technically mgorny is correct here. FHS requires that everything under
/var/lib be under a directory for the package or for the distro [1].
Note the comment about packaging support in 5.8.1.

Based on that this is my thought:

* /var/lib/portage is for portage specific stuff -- maybe even /var/db/pkg
in the future should go to /var/lib/portage/pkg.

* /var/lib/gentoo, on the other hand, could be where repos, distfiles
and binpkgs go.

Subdirectories of /var/lib should be named after the tool/package name. 
There's no tool or package called 'repos'.

Well, in my examples I proposed it as that is the software that

This is not a personal attack against you.  Just picked this one to say
something again...


PLEASE, PLEASE stop calling it the "portage" tree.  The repo name is
"gentoo".  "portage is the default package manager, but not the only
choice.  Far too often, it takes awhile to figure out what someone is
trying to say because of that confusion between the tree and the
package manager.

PLUS, it has been decided already long ago that the directory name
should reflect the repository name.  We have been enforcing that rule
for overlays for a long time.  It has just been taking a long time to
get our tooling in order so that we can change our own to follow that
rule.

So, "portage" should not be a directory name in the new default path.

Regardless of the base directory location, I might suggest a path
dedicated to repositories, of which the main gentoo repo is just an
initial one, and overlays could be placed as additional directories
inside.

/var/lib/portage/repositories/main
/var/lib/gentoo/repositories/main
/var/cache/gentoo/repos/main
/var/cache/portage/repositories/gentoo

(Something along those lines.)

In that case, I vote for /var/cache/portage, since that's literally

FreeBSD does not put the package repository in /var/db.

Portage cloned many of the file paths from FreeBSD along with the
name/concept.  FreeBSD puts their package repository in /usr/ports, so
I'm not sure I'd hold them out as a great example of FHS.

Some people including myself moved the tree to /var by variable definitions 
(and not wild mounting) a while ago. This configuration *is* supported for a 
while now but not the default and if tools break they have to be fixed anyway. 

(Side note: At least most of the common tools like gentoolkit parts or repoman 
work on my machines with the moved tree.)
