Description Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2011-06-24 19:55:49 UTC

Calling "eix-sync" on a system without openrc and sysvinit (systemd enabled) it fails with

"eix-sync: cannot read functions.sh"

So there is an implicit dependency from eix 0.22.8 to openrc.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Ben Sagal 2011-06-27 11:36:50 UTC

the file is either provided by baselayout-1 or by openrc which is a dependency of baselayout-2

As far as I am aware baselayout is part of system so should be installed on any gentoo system

See the bug blocking this one for work that is moving toward a
minimalist version of openrc that will be used on all gentoo systems
regardless of the init system in use.

My plan is to set it up so that you can just depend on sys-apps/openrc
as requested in the previous comment.

Comment 3 Martin Väth 2011-06-30 18:51:41 UTC

In current eix svn trunk (>=app-portage/eix-0.22.9) functions.sh
is no longer used.

So the dependency is not necessary anymore.

In older versions the dependency is only needed for the scripts and not
for the main task of eix, so IMHO it is some sort of optional dependency.

Since probably eix-0.22.9 will be stable before alternatives to openrc
become stable and, moreover, eix does not really break without openrc,
I suggest to *not* modify <eix-0.22.9 ebuilds.

app-portage/eix-0.22.9 is in the tree
