Description Marek Miller 2008-05-30 21:25:16 UTC

I've made a list of ebuilds that have IUSE variable undeclared, though devmanual says it's required. Following the advice from #gentoo-bugs, I put them all in one larger bug instead of reporting 27 trivial ones.

[cgvg, y4mscaler, inotify-tools-3.12 are marked stable for x86]

Done.

probably better if assigned to QA.

Please don't take our bugs away from us.  If its misassigned, we'll let you know.

Sorry, I just did half the work of what you now call your work to finish. I can understand you want to finish it now... :)

This seems like a pretty trivial QA check to maintain, personally, but whatever.  

If we're going to file bugs about it, can we get a check for it in repoman?

I've been thinking about that. Of course an empty variable has no use in an ebuild. But think of the impetus it provides to developers to make their ebuilds behave as much like upstream intended as possible - including all kinds of configure time options that IUSE would need to incorporate. :)

portage folks, think we could get a repoman warning for this?

repoman check for undefined IUSE

Comment 10 Zac Medico gentoo-dev

The 'IUSE.undefined' check is included in portage-2.1.5.5 and portage-2.2_pre8.

Comment 11 Marek Miller 2008-07-07 23:03:40 UTC

So the problem is solved once and for all. 
Could anyone change the last ebuild and close the bug?
