Subject: Bug #193486 - Use xargs to avoid 'bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long'
X-Git-Tag: v2.2_pre1~769
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9db2b6a19b2a1e8a381a3b8c5b9bdab1868c0d02;p=portage.git

Bug #193486 - Use xargs to avoid 'bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long'
errors. This patch uses a weird tr '\001' '\000' workaround since bash
doesn't echo null bytes like one might expect.
