Bug 100095 – using FEATURES="keepwork" it is impossible to manually run ebuild clean

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Petteri Räty (RETIRED) 2005-07-24 01:24:24 UTC]

I just set myself a debugging environment for ebuilds.

_run() {
    local flags="-pipe -ggdb3"
    CFLAGS=${flags} CXXFLAGS=${flags} USE="${USE} debug" \
        FEATURES="${FEATURES} nostrip keepwork" ${@}
}

debugebuild() {
    _run ebuild ${@}
}

debugemerge() {
    _run emerge ${@}
}

Now using ebuild clean does not work because of the FEATURES="keepwork". I think
it would be better to make it work so that ebuild clean from the command line
overrides FEATURES="keepwork" or at least give a warning.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. FEATURES="keepwork" ebuild <pkg> clean
Actual Results:  
nothing

Disable the feature via your functions.
keepwork is for debugging, imo not something you leave on constantly, you enable
as needed for debugging.

Yes, can cut down on build time, but the issue here is for debugging.
Either way, rewrite's build op enforces a clean call regardless of features, so
solved whenever/if that hits stable.

[Comment 2 Brian Harring (RETIRED) 2005-08-23 02:07:50 UTC]

or just tag a features removal within ebuild, which is unclean (but would work)
due to global features.

[Comment 3 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2007-01-12 06:19:44 UTC]

Reopening for consideration.

[Comment 4 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2007-06-06 00:22:49 UTC]

Not really sure what's needed here, patch would probably explain it best.
