Bug 110993 – Add 'oci8-instant-client' USE flag to the profiles use.mask

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Luca Longinotti (RETIRED) 2005-10-31 03:50:50 UTC]

The new revision of dev-lang/php will include a 'oci8-instant-client' USE flag
to enable the use of dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic as Oracle provider.
dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic is only available on x86 and is a binary
package, so please add the 'oci8-instant-client' USE flag to your profiles
use.mask's, thanks.
Best regards, CHTEKK.

If this is only usable by a singular architecture (say x86), then really the use
flag should be masked across the board and then unmasked only on x86.

OK you're right. The USE flag was added to base/use.mask, so it's now masked on
all profiles, and only x86 will need to unmask it.
Changing CCs accordingly.
Best regards, CHTEKK.

Ok I've unmasked it myself on x86, all fixed then.
Best regards, CHTEKK.

Exactly which profile did you change this on?  default-linux/x86?

[Comment 5 Jim MacDonald 2006-03-15 07:17:29 UTC]

This needs to be unmasked for the hardened/x86 profile too.

[Comment 6 Luca Longinotti (RETIRED) 2006-03-15 07:38:36 UTC]

No it doesn't work on Hardened because the Oracle InstantClient is full of TEXTRELs and other such things you don't want to see on Hardened, I talked at the time with the Hardened profile managers about this too and we agreed to not unmask it there.
Best regards, CHTEKK.
