testing for stable request for package. Package loses its way building with use = docs Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set use=doc 2. emerge package 3. Expected Results: build The essence: * Running compile phase for all ... (in /mnt/gen2/tmpdir/portage/dev-ruby/rexical-1.0.5/work/all/rexical-1.0.5) rake aborted! no such file to load -- hoe

I tried to go through the steps Ian went through with various combinations and I can't seem to replicate this. It emerges without any problem here.
With USE=doc rexical has a dependency on dev-ruby/hoe, so I'm not sure how this can happen. Can you provide the output of "emerge rexical"?

Can you provide the output of "emerge rexical"? right: archtester testuser # USE="doc test" emerge =dev-ruby/rexical-1.0.5 -pv These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I would say so. Here is my best attempt. The underlying cause may be the RUBY_TARGETS=. Our new tester kind of shadowed my testing, but he did in a different ORDER. Initially, I emerged the full list, set & unset test, and soon ended up with a never ending list of conflicts / circular dependencies. I figured that it would have been better to emerge the content of the list one by one. So I got our new tester to do exactly that. [He was 'testing' alongside via text exchange in our irc channel] After getting the full list to emerge with default use flags, I then added USE=doc to package 1; rexical. I promptly got the failure. So I filed. Meanwhile new tester emerged rexical then shadowed adding use=doc. He promptly told me I was "wrong" since it emerged. Never mind impertinence; Seems he was right. My entries for RUBY_TARGETS= were I believe different. For the remaining packages, I then managed, with much to-ing and fro-wing of test packages and flags and RUBY_TARGETS= settings, to emerge them with all alternate use flags. I then found Comment 4. On repeating emerge rexical with USE=doc, the settings I had arrived at by then saw it emerge. Package hoe is emerged, displayed via eix. Voila. Our new tester has a magic touch!! That said, the state at which I filed ticked all the boxes of a build failure with the build log recorded. Clear??????????
It sounds like something that wouldn't normally occur in the wild, so I'm closing the bug.
