Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2007-01-04 14:50:03 UTC

The following ebuilds/eclasses currently inherits debug.eclass:

./sys-apps/dbus/dbus-0.61-r1.ebuild:inherit eutils mono python multilib debug qt3 autotools
./sys-apps/dbus/dbus-0.62-r2.ebuild:inherit eutils mono python multilib debug qt3 autotools flag-o-matic
./sys-apps/dbus/dbus-1.0.2.ebuild:inherit eutils multilib debug autotools

As per bug #55708 you can see that the current debug.eclass is a QA mess, and I'm going to replace it soon with a dummy version.
The debug useflag should not mess with the user's *FLAGS, but rather relate to the debug codepaths of a package (asserts, extra output, and so on). If an user wants a debuggable system, he should follow the backtraces guide (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml) that contains all the needed info.

For this reason, please remove debug eclass from inherit line, add debug to IUSE if your package has a way to enable/disable debug codepaths, and set this bug resolved. Please do it for _every revisions of your package_.

Thanks,
Diego
