Bugzilla Bug 68691

These are the use flags in make.conf:

USE="chroot cscope dga divx4linux fbcon fbdev mmx mp3 mplayer \
     network offensive pcre pnp sse userlocales vim-with-x xvid"

When I run ufed,enable the "bootsplash" flag and save I get the following in make.conf:
USE="bootspla chroot cscope dga divx4linux fbcon fbdev mmx mp3 mplayer \
     network offensive pcre pnp sse userlocales vim-with-x xvid"

(notice that "bootsplash" is saved as "bootspla")

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run ufed, enable bootsplash and save

Actual Results:  
bootsplash is saved as bootspla

ufed-0.35-mask.patch

The problem:

/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc contains
sh - indicates that architecture is SuperH

which tells ufed to remove any sh flags you may have in your USE list. It's a
bit too aggressive. Attached patch fixes it for me.

Same problem for PHP flag 'flash' saved as 'fla'...

I tested it and the patch works on ufed 0.35 but also on 0.34
Thanks !

Basically, any flag ending with sh will be mangled.  I had a problem nagios-ssh
that got mangled to nagios-s.  The patch took care of it.  Quick instructions
for those who wonder how to fix it.

Enable PORTAGE_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" in /etc/make.conf

# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-portage/ufed/files
# cd /usr/local/portage/app-portage/ufed/files
# wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=42488 -O ufed-0.35-mask.patch
# cp /usr/portage/app-portage/ufed/files/cascaded-profile-support.patch .
# cd ..
# cp /usr/portage/app-portage/ufed/ufed-0.35-r1.ebuild .
# ebuild ufed-0.35-r1.ebuild digest

Modify ufed-0.35-r1.ebuild with your favorite editor and locate the line
begining with epatch.  If you use vi|vim|gvim, you can put the cursor on that
line and press "d" twice and then "shift-p" twice.  This will double the epatch
line.

It should then look this way:

epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-mask.patch

Save and ensure ufed will be updated to the said unstable version:

# mkdir -p /etc/portage
# echo "=app-portage/ufed-0.35-r1 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keyword

emerge -a ufed to besure it will borrow the ebuild from the overlay.

I've just noticed that the flag bash-completion is saved as ba-completion and
is marked as an unknown option when next using ufed.

It also removes the flag "tcltk" from /etc/make.conf when saving you've
activated it. However, it shows it as being activated next time you run ufed.

However, to compile something with tcltk support it is required in make.conf.

0.35-r2 with the patch is in CVS now.
