so rebuild-package-list has this "feature" about bad packages where it reads a file src/bad_packages and presumably does not list those as a "bad" package. if that's the correct assumption, it doesn't actually work at all. because the bad_packages is parsed by a grep -v '^[^#]' piped to a while. this has two problems, the grep is like a double negative and only pulls out lines that have comments, and the pipe to while causes a subshell, and so the fact that the bad packages check was built up is ignored by the main shell. so, I've got that fixed, but I have a few questions about bad_packages. 1. is my assumption above correct about how it should work. 2. how is this "bad_packages" list any different than cvs removing the package? not being in the package list effectively makes it un-useable, but not removing it from cvs just makes it take up space. 3. does it make sense for the bad_packages list to be stored in $PLAYPEN_ROOT/src/bad_packages it would seem to me like this file should be in etc/ --fess |
