Bug 249889 – app-pda/pilot-link does not respect bluetooth USE flag?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jesse Adelman 2008-12-05 05:21:39 UTC]

Strangely, pilot-link doesn't seem to want to accept that I've set the bluetooth USE flag, and doesn't build with bluetooth support. I'm glad to give more info, if needed. Thanks in advance.

I'll post the emerge --info right after this initial entry.

Do you all need more info to assess this bug? Do others have this problem? Thanks.

[Comment 3 Jesse Adelman 2009-02-08 03:39:36 UTC]

From http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=5459741#5459741, skutnar found interesting references to pilot-link:

"Another place to check is the /usr/portage/profiles area. I found the culprit in several places:

Code:
zeus profiles # grep -ri pilot-link *
arch/amd64/package.use.mask:app-pda/pilot-link bluetooth
base/package.use.mask:app-pda/pilot-link bluetooth
base/ChangeLog:  Move bluetooth package.use.mask for app-pda/pilot-link from the amd64
ChangeLog:  Masked app-pda/pilot-link[bluetooth] for the KDE 3.5.8 stabilisation.
ChangeLog:  Removed app-pda/pilot-link-0.12.2 from package.mask.
ChangeLog:  Temporarily p.mask'ed >=app-pda/pilot-link-0.12.2 to allow for further testing.
default-linux/x86/ChangeLog:  pilot-link-0.12.x which is not available for that profile.
default-linux/x86/ChangeLog:  Added =app-pda/jpilot-backup-0.53 as it requires app-pda/pilot-link-0.12.2.
default-linux/x86/ChangeLog:  Added =app-pda/jpilot-syncmal-0.80 as it requires app-pda/pilot-link-0.12.2.
default-linux/x86/ChangeLog:  Add =dev-libs/libmal-0.44 as it requires app-pda/pilot-link-0.12.2.
default-linux/x86/ChangeLog:  Added >=app-pda/pilot-link-0.12.2 as it needs bluez-libs-3*.
default-linux/amd64/ChangeLog:  Move bluetooth package.use.mask for app-pda/pilot-link from the amd64


The most interesting one is /usr/portage/base/package.use.mask:
Code:
# Wulf Krueger <[e-mail]> (28 Jan 2008)
# Mask bluetooth for the KDE 3.5.8 stabilisation.
app-pda/pilot-link bluetooth"

So, is this problem the result of an unfortunate oversight that was skipped over during KDE 3.5.8 stabilization?

[Comment 4 Jesse Adelman 2009-02-16 22:38:02 UTC]

Adding [e-mail], as the changelog has this:

"fuji ~ # grep -2 bluetooth /usr/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/package.use.mask

# 28 Jan 2008: Wulf Krueger <[e-mail]>
# Mask bluetooth for the KDE 3.5.8 stabilisation.
app-pda/pilot-link bluetooth

# 10 Jul 2008: Thomas Anderson <[e-mail]>
fuji ~ # "

philantrop, KDE 3.5.8 has been stable for a while (we're on 3.5.9, AFAIK). Can we unmask this USE flag for pilot-link? Thanks.

Uh, is this herd dead? Should I give up? It seems so easy to fix...
