Bug 56376 – repoman failing to detect unstable dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-07-07 14:08:56 UTC]

I marked net-im/gaim-0.79-r1 stable on x86, while the dependency of net-im/silc-toolkit-0.9.12 was NOT stable, yet repoman didn't complain.  (FYI: both are now stable but the situation is again present with amd64).

I found out the repoman doesn't seem to be noticing the silc-toolkit dep in my syntax here:

    !mips? (
        silc? ( >=net-im/silc-toolkit-0.9.12-r2 )
    )

When I copy the silc? line out of that block, repoman complains as it should.  So it looks like repoman is stopping short there.

I'm on sys-apps/portage-2.0.51_pre12

Forgot to mention that earlier.

dep_opconvert ARCH fix

Confirming, this affects both .50 and .51.

the fix is pretty straight forward, albeit a wee bit fun to track down.

Take a gander at the patch- these are the vars contents in the snippet

mysplit[mypos] == "!mips?", and k == "mips?"

corrected dep_opconvert.patch

Round 2. :/

Logic error in the patch corrected (and *thoroughly* tested).

Looks like this is fixed now in 2.0.51_pre13
