Bug 457638 – www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins-9999 is not included in the live-rebuild portage set

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bartosz Brachaczek 2013-02-15 02:02:30 UTC]

I do have www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins-9999 installed, but `emerge @live-rebuild` doesn't rebuild it. It is a live package, so I'd expect it to be included in the live-rebuild set.

[Comment 1 Mike Gilbert 2013-02-15 02:48:15 UTC]

The @live-rebuild set is based on the ebuild inheriting one of the VCS eclasses. 

In this case, the ebuild is simply calling wget from src_unpack, so there isn't any good way to identify it as a live ebuild.

I've CC-ed the portage devs in case they have any bright ideas, but I think this one is going to end in CANTFIX.

[Comment 2 Zac Medico 2013-02-15 03:25:26 UTC]

We could use PROPERTIES=live for this, add a src_fetch phase that could be detected via DEFINED_PHASES (see bug 182028), or add a version suffix as proposed in GLEP 54 http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0054.html.

[Comment 3 Mike Gilbert 2013-02-15 16:02:15 UTC]

(In reply to comment #2)

Those first two options sound like good ones. I'll keep an eye on the Portage NEWS files and PMS.

[Comment 4 Jason A. Donenfeld 2013-02-28 12:28:30 UTC]

This is, indeed annoying. PROPERTIES=live sound pretty nice.

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2013-03-23 19:18:36 UTC]

Why www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins doesn't rely on exact same versions as www-client/google-chrome? That would also solve the problem :/

[Comment 6 Mike Gilbert 2013-03-23 19:26:06 UTC]

(In reply to comment #5)

Because I'm lazy and don't feel like bumping yet another package on a daily basis.

[Comment 7 Pacho Ramos 2013-03-23 19:30:03 UTC]

And what about adding a USE "binary-plugins-only" to google-chrome ebuilds? That would drop the block against chromium and let us install google-chrome[binary-plugins-only] with it

Any problems with this suggested approach :/

[Comment 9 Mike Gilbert 2013-04-11 21:40:17 UTC]

The google-chrome ebuild installs stuff in /opt/google/chrome, whereas chrome-binary-plugins installs the same files in /usr/lib/chromium-browser. There is no need for any blocker here.

I don't want to introduce a use flag to have google-chrome drop 95% of its files and move the plugins to a different directory; that just seems too weird.

Your suggestion from comment 5 makes more sense.

[Comment 10 Pacho Ramos 2013-04-11 21:45:32 UTC]

The problem of that approach is the referred "lazyness" :/, not sure if would be to hard to bump plugins when bumping google-chrome anyway (I would volunteer, but cannot as I am not able to bump google-chrome stuff fast enough, and doing that "daily" would be impossible to me :S)

[Comment 11 Mike Gilbert 2013-04-11 21:50:49 UTC]

I'll try to make that happen. I think you caught me in a bad mood that day.
