I have a package that optionally depends on librsvg. In a couple profiles librsvg is p.masked. Therefore repoman rightly complains. To fix this I tried masking the appropriate use flag for my package on those profiles. I would have expected this to keep repoman happy but it does not. Fully masking the package on those profiles does work but seems excessive. Details: package dev-haskell/gtk2hs-0.9.11 ebuild in the Haskell overlay: http://haskell.org/~gentoo/gentoo-haskell/dev-haskell/gtk2hs/gtk2hs-0.9.11.ebuild profiles in question: default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.1/2.4 default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4 DEPEND="gnome? ( >=gnome-base/librsvg-2.16 )" I added the following to package.use.mask in those profile dirs: dev-haskell/gtk2hs -gnome repoman full complains with: DEPEND.bad 2 dev-haskell/gtk2hs/gtk2hs-0.9.11.ebuild: ~sparc(default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.1/2.4) ['>=gnome-base/librsvg-2.16'] dev-haskell/gtk2hs/gtk2hs-0.9.11.ebuild: ~x86(default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4) ['>=gnome-base/librsvg-2.16'] RDEPEND.bad 2 dev-haskell/gtk2hs/gtk2hs-0.9.11.ebuild: ~sparc(default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.1/2.4) ['>=gnome-base/librsvg-2.16'] dev-haskell/gtk2hs/gtk2hs-0.9.11.ebuild: ~x86(default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4) ['>=gnome-base/librsvg-2.16'] Have I missed anything?
(In reply to comment #0) > I added the following to package.use.mask in those profile dirs: > dev-haskell/gtk2hs -gnome That's inverted. It's gnome to mask and -gnome to unmask. Yes, it's slightly counter intuitive, but it's consistent with the workings of use.mask and with the general behavior of "incrementals" that portage uses in various places. A little known feature is that it's also possible to unmask entire packages in package.mask via -atom.
