AFAIK, the original bug pertaining to this issue is 9849, which |
| 7 |
specifically dealt with baselayout installation failures due to |
| 8 |
writing .keep files on r/o filesystems. Baselayout now has |
| 9 |
a workaround (kdir and unkdir) which avoids the issue, but breaks |
| 10 |
portage's tracking of .keep files. |

Bug 9849 has been marked a duplicate of 23851, but there is |
| 13 |
a distinction between the two: 23851 would be "solved" by pre-failing |
| 14 |
the merge phase if it is predicted to fail (permissions, diskspace). |
| 15 |
But 9849 is pretty specific to .keep files and directory creation, and |
| 16 |
needs to finish the merge even if some of those fail. |
