* QA Notice: The ebuild is installing to one or more unexpected paths:
*
* /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/legion-9999/image/usr/bin/legion_prof_files
* /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/legion-9999/image/usr/bin/serializer_examples
*
* Please fix the ebuild to use correct FHS/Gentoo policy paths.
This message is hard to understand. Is it saying that the resulting
package contains files prefixed with ${D} which would be immensely
broken? Is it saying that these paths are *directories* and the FHS does
not approve of directories in /usr/bin/*/?
In fact, it's the latter. Fix this in two ways:
- clarify that it's an unexpected directory, not just some kind of path
I guess it would also make sense to have a trailing slash as extra
indication of it being a directory like `ls -F` does.
- strip ${D} so that people can better visualize what sort of path gets
installed. This has the downside of not being able to copy/paste the
path in order to inspect the image directory, but I think this is a
very small downside. Usually by the time you see this message, portage
has cleaned up. And if it hasn't, you can still copy/paste that from:
Completed installing sys-cluster/legion-9999 into
/var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/legion-9999/image
Could maybe be confusable with installers not supporting DESTDIR though
(although the sandbox messages look *very* different).
