 |
|
Hello,
I am trying to create a local bash ebuild in my portage overlay directory and ran into a problem. The normal build creates a symlink from /bin/sh -> /bin/bash using dosym. I like to statically compile bash and keep /bin/sh as a real binary which is just a copy of bash, however, I have had trouble trying to get that copy created using my ebuild, it would be much easier if there was a matching docopy command which acted like dosym but created copies properly. Would this be possible in the near future? Thanks.

once youve installed the bash binary, you can always use standard commands to get what you want done, there would be nothing wrong with:
| Code: | | cp ${D}/bin/bash ${D}/bin/sh |
but it is possible with portage binaries, for example:
| Code: | exeinto /bin
doexe bash
newexe bash sh |
