Bug 696808 – [R_Overlay] R_SUGGESTS variable should expand in USE flags

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alessandro Barbieri 2019-10-05 20:57:15 UTC]

I set
R_SUGGESTS="magrittr pillar rmarkdown crayon lubridate withr knitr mass"
in make.conf but when updating it doesn't get translated in the corresponding useflags, for example:

[ebuild   R    ] sci-CRAN/googlesheets-0.3.0::R_Overlay  USE="byte-compile* -r_suggests_covr -r_suggests_ggplot2 -r_suggests_knitr -r_suggests_rmarkdown -r_suggests_rprojroot -r_suggests_testthat" 0 KiB

I think it should get displayed as

[ebuild   R    ] sci-CRAN/googlesheets-0.3.0::R_Overlay  USE="byte-compile*" R_SUGGESTS="knitr* rmarkdown* -covr -ggplot2  -rprojroot -testthat" 0 KiB

Alessandro, you can set plain USE="r_suggests_magrittr r_suggests_pillar r_suggests_rmarkdown r_suggests_crayon r_suggests_lubridate r_suggests_withr r_suggests_knitr r_suggests_mass".

I don't think we have design USE expand for R_Overlay in the first place.
