This fix is merely a band-aid (afaict). The right fix is to add trailing '/' to dirnames always and achieve a representation for file paths that does not represent DIRNAMES with '/' in RPMTAG_DIRNAMES and (redundantly) DIRNAMES without '/' in RPMTAG_BASENAMES.
What stops the implementation is lack of time to slog through the endless "legacy compatibility" discussions that will surely be needed. Till then I choose to trat this issue as a packaging, not an RPM implementation, issue. There's the coupled issue that its already pretty subtle and poorly understood using triggers against RPMTAG_DIRNAMES when a trailing '/' is present. AFAIK, there are NO distros (including Mandriva) that rely on directory triggers. Nor are there any plans on "official" ROADMAPS that wish to switch from using The Good Old Stuff. Show me an "official" credible distro ROADMAP attempting to use DIRNAME triggers and you will have my immediate attention. Till then *shrug*, maintain as you wish. 73 de Jeff On Aug 26, 2013, at 3:59 PM, Per Øyvind Karlsen wrote: > This patch ensures that double '/' doesn't end up in dirname paths triggers > matched against. > > -- > Regards, > Per Øyvind > <rpm-5.4.9-avoid-double-slash-in-path-for-dirname-filetrigger-matching.patch> ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org Developer Communication List rpm-devel@rpm5.org
