Hi all, |

A few months ago, Mike (pioto) proposed a patch for the gnome2.eclass so |
| 4 |
that it stops reading from /var/db/* stuff. As of today, the current |
| 5 |
eclass has not yet been patched. |
| 6 |
|

The bug is here : https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155993 |
| 8 |

The current issue is with the gtk icon cache updater, which is used by |
| 10 |
all gnome and xfce related apps, but by many others too (1101 individual |
| 11 |
ebuilds). It should be called only when there are icon updates because |
| 12 |
of performance issues. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The current eclass reads VDB CONTENTS to see if any icons are about to |
| 15 |
be added or removed. The real solution would be to export an environment |
| 16 |
variable but that doesn't work in portage as Zac pointed out (bugs 56407 |
| 17 |
and 56408). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Right now, the reworked patch saves a file in |
| 20 |
/usr/share/gnome2-eclass/${PF}.icons |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Since committing this will affect everybody including stable users, I |
| 23 |
would like ebuild/eclass gurus to review this small patch and tell me if |
| 24 |
there's anything wrong with it. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
One issue right now is that I use "mkdir -p" which is probably wrong. I |
| 27 |
did not yet try using dodir instead, if that's the proper solution. |
| 28 |

Thanks for any advice. |
