The current flaggie-0.1.1 writes a misquoted version of make.conf when editing global use flags. My make.conf contains the following line: ... PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage $PORTDIR_OVERLAY" ... After editing with flaggie (i.e. 'flaggie +3dfx', just as a test) this line gets mangled to: ... [The USE modification is performed as expected.] ... PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage $PORTDIR_OVERLAY ... I.e. the ending double quote is missing. This will, of course, cause emerge & others reading make.conf to fail, typically with something like this: ParseError: Invalid token 'http://gentoo.mirror.dkm.cz/pub/gentoo/' (not '='): /etc/make.conf: line 29 in /etc/make.conf Background: The reassignment to PORTDIR_OVERLAY in my make.conf is used to have /usr/local/portage first for crossdev-generated ebuilds; followed by layman-managed overlays. emerge --info (with a non-broken make.conf): Portage 2.1.9.42 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.11.3-r0, 2.6.37-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.37-gentoo-r4-x86_64-Intel-R-_Xeon-R-_CPU_X5550_@_2.67GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.14 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 16 Apr 2011 09:15:01 +0000 distcc 3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-lang/python: 2.7.1-r1, 3.1.3-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.14-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.5 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 2.6.36.1 virtual/os-headers: 0 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -momit-leaf-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -momit-leaf-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/var/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="-j --load-average=8" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs buildpkg collision-protect distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirror.dkm.cz/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ http://mirrors.linuxant.fr/distfiles.gentoo.org/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en de" MAKEOPTS="-j -l 12" PKGDIR="/var/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /var/lib/layman/jmbreuer" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acl acpi amd64 apache2 berkdb bzip2 cli cracklib crypt cxx dri gd gdbm gpm iconv ipv6 ldap mmx modules mudflap multilib ncurses network-cron nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre perl pppd python readline session sse sse2 ssl subversion sysfs tcpd unicode vim-syntax xml xorg zip zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en de" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev glint intel mach64 mga neomagic nouveau nv r128 radeon savage sis tdfx trident vesa via vmware dummy v4l" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Could you attach the complete make.conf file? I'll take a look at it ASAP.
Created attachment 270615 [details] One of my make.conf exposing the problem
Ok, I'm able to reproduce it. Debugging is going to take a while, though.
Ok, it seems like a lexer fault; should be easy to solve then. In the meantime, the workaround is to used braced variable references, i.e. s/$PORTDIR_OVERLAY/${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/.
Fixed in 8312d01 [1]. I'll mark this bug fixed as soon as the fix gets released. [1] https://github.com/mgorny/flaggie/commit/8312d01786de0d6a0558f8bcafb57ece760c1398
Great, thanks! - Especially for posting the workaround; that significantly "demilitarizes" the situation for me (and all others finding the bug report) in the mean time. And... "I can confirm that the workaround performs as expected here."
Ok, finally bumped.
