Description Ciaran Anscomb 2009-09-14 04:04:48 UTC

Created attachment 29512 [details] [review]
Stat filenames before adding to locations hash

Our situation is a globally mounted /usr/local with symlinks to arch-specific
files.  For some archs, .pc symlinks in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig don't point to
any arch-specific version, but pkg-config assumes they're ok.

Attached patch stats filenames and checks they look like regular files before
adding them to the locations hash.

Thanks, fixed with a slightly different patch in next version.
