New git ebuild ask for highlight dependency when building the CGI. This depend should be optional: the CGI do NOT enable the highlight support by default. Quoting the cgi script (at line 520): =========8<========= # Syntax highlighting support. This is based on Daniel Svensson's # and Sham Chukoury's work in gitweb-xmms2.git. # It requires the 'highlight' program present in $PATH, # and therefore is disabled by default. # To enable system wide have in $GITWEB_CONFIG # $feature{'highlight'}{'default'} = [1]; 'highlight' => { 'sub' => sub { feature_bool('highlight', @_) }, 'override' => 0, 'default' => [0]}, =========>8========= My point is that app-text/highlight is a *huge* dependency, because it brings dev-libs/boost (huge lib that requires a lot of memory to compile, not tailored for small servers where gitweb can be hosted). For me it's a too big depend just for some fancy (and optional) colors. So please, make it optional ! Thanks
InCVS.
portage-20120823 is broken. I have currently dev-vcs/git-1.7.10.2 installed, due to <=dev-vcs/git-1.7.10.99 ** in /etc/portage/package.keywords. (That's because 1.7.10 is required for proper support of pulling tags and showing gpg signatures in merge messages.) But suddenly, emerge -uav world wnats to downgrade to dev-vcs/git-1.7.8.6. The reason: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- # emerge -av =dev-vcs/git-1.7.10.2 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-vcs/git-1.7.10.2" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-vcs/git-1.7.10.2::gentoo (masked by: invalid: RDEPEND: USE flag 'highlight' referenced in conditional 'highlight?' is not in IUSE) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, what now?
This has already been fixed in tree, just resync your portage tree ! Here : http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-vcs/git/git-1.7.12-r2.ebuild?r1=1.2&r2=1.3
Indeed, works for me now. Thanks.
