Bug 657332 – sys-power/acpid-2.0.29-r1: ~alpha ~arm keyword request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joonas Niilola 2018-06-04 13:44:57 UTC]

This is an optional runtime dependency on newer x11-wm/enlightenment builds and missing ~alpha and ~arm keywords. I cant test this package on those arches, but decided to ask for a keyword request here. 

I couldnt find a reason why its not keyworded already. But since its optional, if arch teams dont want to add keywords, I guess use.mask is a working solution too. 

Please test & add keywords: 
sys-power/acpid-2.0.29-r1 ~alpha ~arm

I don't think any alphas have ACPI.

Debian seems to have packaged it for alpha, 
https://packages.debian.org/sid/acpid 
Unofficial port though, probably because alpha is not "officially" supported. 

Im not saying it works, and Im not saying alphas have ACPI feature, just something I found. As I can not test this myself, Ill trust what you have to say :)

Using package.use.mask to block x11-wm/enlightenment[acpi] isnt a big deal, I just need someone more knowledgeable to give me advice how should I proceed. 
(wait for package testing, or add the mask?)

Sent patches adding "acpi" to profiles/arch/{alpha,arm}/use.mask for review by arch teams. Waiting for replies.

~arm added

    Revert "sys-power/acpid: add ~arm, bug #657332"
    
    This reverts commit 41dbda492829e663829f56c44875ac00a47b0707.
    
    acpid daemon starts successfully on ARM, despite ACPI appears not
    available on this platform. ACPI is supported by Linux only on amd64,
    arm64, ia64, x86, according to drivers/acpi/Kconfig.
