Bug 462482 – Support ${repository}/profiles/{package.accept_keywords,package.keywords}

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Dyweni 2013-03-20 13:36:01 UTC]

The file '<overlay>/profile/package.accept_keywords' contains the following line:
   =category/package-version::repo ~arch

When I try to 'emerge -p =category/package-version::repo', I am given the message that a keyword change is still required.

Strace shows that emerge isn't even looking for package.accept_keywords in the overlay.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add '=category/package-version::repo ~arch' to '<overlay>/profiles/package.accept_keywords'
2. emerge -p =category/package-version::repo
Actual Results:  
Emerge output indicates that a keyword change is still required.

Expected Results:  
Emerge output should not indicate that a keyword change is still required.

For example,

In my overlay, I wanted force =sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.57 to be installed on all my systems.

I have the following files configured in my overlay/profiles folder:
eapi:
  5-progress.
package.mask:
  <sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.57::gentoo
package.accept_keywords:
  =sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.57::gentoo ~amd64 ~x86

I get the following from 'emerge -p =sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.57::gentoo':
----
The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
#required by =sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.57::gentoo (argument)
=sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.57 ~amd64

You can use package.keywords for this, see `man portage` and as an example /usr/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/x32/package.keywords.

I can't even get that far.

Strace shows that emerge doesn't even bother looking for package.keywords or package.accept_keywords in the overlay.

I suspect /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/package/ebuild/_config/KeywordsManager.py needs to be modified to look in each of the overlays for package.keywords or package.accept_keywords first, before any additional testing can be done.

These files are currently not supported. Refer to bug 370693 for other files that are support in ${repository}/profiles/.

I'd like to see this implemented as well.
