Bug 53449 – mydns-0.10.4.ebuild should choose a database default

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-06-09 14:29:19 UTC]

This is the wrong way to write an ebuild:

src_compile() {
    if ! use mysql && ! use postgres; then
        eerror "MyDNS needs either MySQL or PostgreSQL."
        eerror "Please set USE=\"mysql\" or USE=\"postgres\", and try again."
        die
    fi

Instead mydns should use one or the other as default if neither of the USE variables are specified.  This is standard within portage; when you have a dependency with multiple options, you choose the best one if there is no USE variable specifying otherwise.

Fixed in mydns-0.11.0.
in cvs.
