Udev 171 splits out the extras use flag into separate use flags. As a result, the ebuilds for this package need the following changes: sys-fs/udev[extras] needs to become: || ( >=sys-fs/udev-171[useflag] >= sys-fs/udev145[extras] ) "useflag" in this example should be replaced with whatever the use flag is for udev-171 that your package needs. This should not require a revbump since we are just modifying use flags.
Created attachment 276289 [details] updated ebuild for networkmanager 0.8.4.0-r1 I was able to build the attached ebuild with only this change: || ( >=sys-fs/udev-145[extras] >=sys-fs/udev-171 ) I did not have to require any use flags. However, some other ebuilds required gudev, and so I was forced to use gudev too. # echo sys-fs/udev gudev >> /etc/portage/package.use gudev may be required here too. It's hard for me to tell. Here's how I built udev: [ebuild R ~] sys-fs/udev-171-r1 USE="acl gudev rule_generator -action_modeswitch -debug -edd -floppy -hwdb (-introspection) -keymap (-selinux) -test" 0 kB
> || ( >=sys-fs/udev-145[extras] >=sys-fs/udev-171 ) If the correct use flag is gudev, the correct change here is: || ( >=sys-fs/udev-171[gudev] >=sys-fs/udev-145[extras] ) Maintainers, is this correct? Do we need gudev for networkmanager? If so I am willing to make the change and close this bug.
Dared to touch this myself: + 09 Jun 2011; Sebastian Pipping <sping@gentoo.org> + networkmanager-0.8-r1.ebuild, networkmanager-0.8.1-r6.ebuild, + networkmanager-0.8.2-r1.ebuild, networkmanager-0.8.2-r2.ebuild, + networkmanager-0.8.2-r6.ebuild, networkmanager-0.8.2-r10.ebuild, + networkmanager-0.8.4.0-r1.ebuild: + Add >=sys-fs/udev-171[gudev] as an alternative dependency to + >=sys-fs/udev-145[extras] (bug #370339) +
