Thanks for the patch. However, fetching all AUX files IMHO is a bit too |
| 11 |
much. This is exactly the reason why eupdate does some extensive magic |
| 12 |
to detect needed files from $FILESDIR. I'm not sure how others feel |
| 13 |
about potentially having more files in $FILESDIR than the latest ebuild |
| 14 |
requires, but I know that for the tree this is not desirable. |

That said, my opinion on the matter is that it is a known limitation of |
| 17 |
ecopy, that I won't fix. It probably is possible to "port" the |
| 18 |
fetch_files function from eupdate to ecopy, but someone else should do |
| 19 |
it then (and maintain it). |
