While I was waiting for a package to compile, I worked on a new bashrc |
| 5 |
some. You can get the bashrc file from here: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~chriswhite/bashrc |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
to which you can stick it in /etc/portage/ if you want to use it. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
two main things it includes are pathchk and whatis FEATURES. Pathchk is |
| 12 |
used to check for POSIX compatibility in file naming. This can be |
| 13 |
helpful when trying to see how POSIX compatible your packages are. This |
| 14 |
includes (taken from info page): |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. one of the existing directories in NAME does not have search |
| 17 |
(execute) permission, |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2. the length of NAME is larger than its filesystem's maximum file |
| 20 |
name length, |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
3. the length of one component of NAME, corresponding to an existing |
| 23 |
directory name, is larger than its filesystem's maximum length for |
| 24 |
a file name component. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I really hope #1 doesn't come up on your package.. because that would |
| 27 |
really not be a Good Thing(tm) #2 and #3 is probably what you're after. |
| 28 |
Note that this program seems to be pretty strict (14 characters max |
| 29 |
filenames to work on ALL POSIX systems). The bashrc file simply |
| 30 |
recurses the source directory, pathchk-ing every file and putting the |
| 31 |
results in ${PATHCHECK_LOG_DIR}/pathcheck.log (which is set to |
| 32 |
/var/log/pathcheck by defualt). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
the whatis FEATURE will update the whatis database when you're done |
| 35 |
installing a package. This is helpful for keeping it up to date. If |
| 36 |
you haven't updated the whatis database in awhile, it could take a |
| 37 |
_long_time_. After that it's not really that bad and shouldn't take but |
| 38 |
a minute or so (depends on system) to get the update finished. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
This is something I slapped together late at night, so don't expect the |
| 41 |
world, cause I'm not going to give it to you (...yet /me takes out world |
| 42 |
domination plans). |
