Bug 62753 – Cannot emerge subversion with USE="perl -python"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jason Rhinelander 2004-09-03 14:01:53 UTC]

The current subversion ebuilds (all recent versions in portage, up to 1.1.0_rc2) will not emerge with USE="perl -python" because the ebuild does:

use python && myconf="${myconf} --with-python=/usr/bin/python --with-swig"
use python || myconf="${myconf} --without-python --without-swig"

- in other words, it disables swig with USE="-python", however USE="perl" requires swig.  Changing this to the following will fix the problem:

use python && myconf="${myconf} --with-python=/usr/bin/python"
use python || myconf="${myconf} --without-python"

if use python || use perl; then
    myconf="${myconf} --with-swig"
else
    myconf="${myconf} --without-swig"
fi

Paul:

this one's all yours.

Though I probably would recommend

if use python
then
	myconf="${myconf} --with-python=/usr/bin/python"
else
	myconf="${myconf} --without-python
fi

instead.  It just seems a tad more structured that way.  Just my .004 cents
though.  Everything else makes sense.

I just fixed it in the 1.1.0_rc2 and 1.0.6 ebuilds
