Bug 91335 – Add livecd USE flag to links

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-05-03 10:44:44 UTC]

Here's the request:

I would like for links to link/DEPEND against libjpeg if livecd is in USE.  This allows us to not have to add jpeg to the USE flags for building our releases, but allows for jpegs to display on www.g.o, since we already build with fbcon in USE.

Created attachment 57946 [details, diff]
links-2.1_pre17.diff

This patch is against links-2.1_pre17.ebuild and makes USE="livecd" act like
USE="fbcon jpeg"

Sounds good, but it fails repoman scan.

  DEPEND.badindev                1
   www-client/links/links-2.1_pre17.ebuild: ~ppc-macos ['sys-libs/gpm']
  RDEPEND.badindev               1
   www-client/links/links-2.1_pre17.ebuild: ~ppc-macos ['sys-libs/gpm']

Removing sys-libs/gpm from the livecd? statement fixes it, but alas, aside from gpm not having ppc-macos in KEYWORDS I do not understand what is causing it...

Well, you can either make a -r1 ebuild, removing the ppc-macos KEYWORDS and filing a bug to them, or you can simply wrap the new stuff in !ppc-macos? ( ... ) and ! use ppc-macos, where needed.  Want a new patch?

[Comment 4 Marcelo Goes (RETIRED) 2005-05-04 11:26:18 UTC]

I went with the first approach, it seems a cleaner way to do it for me.
sys-libs/gpm ppc-macos keyword request is in bug 91463.

Thanks Chris

In cvs.

[Comment 6 Marcelo Goes (RETIRED) 2005-05-04 12:37:37 UTC]

Well, turns out it can't be keyworded. I'll change it to use !ppc-macos?.
