Ahoj, log from #gentoo-portage: <tampakrap> zmedico: (random idea) would it make sence to generate local.use.desc in /var/cache, or somewhere in /var, but out of the tree? <tampakrap> because now cvs sees it as unknown file, which prints out warning in update and collision in commit <tampakrap> (commit in profile/ ) <zmedico> tampakrap: how about if we just add it to .cvsignore? <tampakrap> of course that would solve the issue with the errors/warnings, but I still believe that somewhere is /var is the appropriate place for it instead of inside the repo <zmedico> tampakrap: portage doesn't even use this file, so better to ask gentoolkit/equery people <tampakrap> yeah I know <tampakrap> I'll send a mail to -dev instead, and will push myself hard to handle the migration (if it gets approved by the dev community) <zmedico> if it goes outside the repo, it's probably going in /var/cache/edb <zmedico> and organized by repo, like /var/cache/edb/dep is <zmedico> seems a lot cleaner to keep it in the repo :)
Since .cvsignore is needed either way, I'm going to do it in three days if there are no objections. But I'd like some feedback for the move of the file in /var. Opinions?
