Ok, to help devels know which are the requisites of Gentoo/FreeBSD porting (as |
| 2 |
we're going near to a release, I hope), I think it's better telling here what |
| 3 |
we hope you all will avoid (and we must replace when keywording). |
| 4 |
Those problems are also valid for ppc-macos AFAIK, so you won't help just us, |
| 5 |
but also ppc-macos project. |

The first one is the root:root problem (there's no root group in *BSD and |
| 8 |
BSD-based systems); the solution is usually using 0:0 to chown. If nobody is |
| 9 |
going to disagrees with this, I think this solution is what we should use. |

The other problem is with cp -a: -a is a GNU option which is not supported by |
| 12 |
non-GNU cp commands. As the man pages says, it's equivalent to -dpPR. |
| 13 |
Unfortuately -dpPR is not portable in itself, but usually what you need is |
| 14 |
-pPR which works just fine usually. |

I'm not going to have a big immediate change of all the ebuilds in portage, |
| 17 |
but at least I hope new ebuilds doesn't get added with those problems in |
| 18 |
them :) |
