Description Hannes Viertel 2004-11-28 03:37:25 UTC 
hi,

while installing portage on macosx, i noticed that several packages need manual adjustment on the Keywords section.

The following packages lack the ppc-macos keyword:


coreutils
autoconf
automake
m4

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.follow the instructions to install portage on osx
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
emerge all required packages for emerge system

The part of the depend line that removed the coreutils for macos was removed, I've put it back in CVS.  Thanks for letting us know, that completely slipped by.

autoconf, automake and m4 are provieded by Mac OS X
and no need to install them from Portage (in most case).
Could you check what is actually requied, please?
(autoconf, automake and m4 from Portage overwrites
those from Mac OS X)
Comment 3 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-28 09:37:24 UTC 
Just a follow up, the reason why it was showing that he needed to install of of those packages was because vapier removed the !ppc-macos? (sys-app/coreutils) line from the debianutils ebuild and made it depend always on coreutils.  Since we haven't added the coreutils macos ebuild (and corresponding virual), this broke the dependancy chain.  I put that back in and things are working again.
