Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

2016-01-04 19:20:20 UTC

seabios has:
  REQUIRED_USE="!amd64? ( !x86? ( binary ) )"
  DEPEND="!binary? ( sys-power/iasl )"
which means it is only possible to build with USE=-binary on amd64/x86 systems.

but when i add other keywords like arm or sparc, repoman complains:
   sys-firmware/seabios/seabios-1.8.2.ebuild: DEPEND: ~arm(default/linux/arm/13.0)
['>=sys-power/iasl-20060912']
   sys-firmware/seabios/seabios-1.8.2.ebuild: DEPEND: ~sparc(default/linux/sparc/13.0)
['>=sys-power/iasl-20060912']

this makes no sense as those profiles will never permit USE=amd64 and so can never pull in iasl.

repoman support has been removed per bug 835013.

Please file a new bug (or, I suppose, reopen this one) if you feel this check is still applicable to pkgcheck and doesn't already exist.

pkgcheck has RequiredUseDefaults.
