Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH] Fix read only filesystem detection logic

1 Hi everyone,
2
3 I think there is a bug in the read only detection logic: portage will check
4 the write permission on the system relative to / and not relative to ROOT.
5
6 I found this when emerging a package with --root=/usr/local on my system
7 with:
8 * / read only
9 * /usr/local read-write
10
11 Note, the error message was also wrong as it indicated that /usr/local was
12 read only when it actually detected / as read only and prefixed it with
13 ROOT in the message.
14
15 I attached a patch that fix the detection logic and the error message.
