Bug 507714 – app-emulation/virt-what-1.12 keyword request ppc ppc64 sparc

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Koen Zandberg 2014-04-15 11:22:21 UTC]

dev-ruby/facter uses app-emulation/virt-what for virtual machine detection. It might be usefull to make facter depend on virt-what or make an use flag pull it in as an dependency.
wirt-what specific facter release notes: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/1.6/release_notes.html#add-a-heavy-virtual-fact-using-virt-what

[Comment 1 Hans de Graaff 2014-04-16 05:51:51 UTC]

Given that this is advertised as a "heavy" fact and that there is a fallback I'm thinking we should probably pull this in via a USE flag. Is there a generic "virtual machine" type USE flag?

[Comment 2 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2014-04-19 04:26:40 UTC]

arches, please keyword app-emulation/virt-what for {hppa,ppc,ppc64,sparc}.

Where is the dev-ruby/facter that uses this?

facter seems bent on getting dmidecode on everyone's system, isn't it? See bug #394785.

[Comment 6 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2014-04-21 01:06:40 UTC]

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/1.6/release_notes.html#add-a-heavy-virtual-fact-using-virt-what

so, 1.6 and above.

[Comment 7 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2014-04-25 13:00:27 UTC]

Can you stick that sys-apps/dmidecode dependency behind a USE flag or introduce USE=dmi in app-emulation/virt-what for that purpose?

[Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2014-04-25 13:01:30 UTC]

/usr/sbin/virt-what appears to be a shell script that handles "command not found" just fine.

[Comment 9 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2014-05-06 16:06:21 UTC]

Created attachment 376480 [details, diff]
Remove redundant src_install(), add IUSE=dmi

Go ahead and apply it. It seems reasonable.
