I'm working on some local ebuilds. I started by specifying RESTRICT="nomirror" so that Portage would not try to download the files from Gentoo mirrors. I then added maketest (making RESTRICT="nomirror maketest"), since the test target is currently broken in the upstream package. To my surprise, the src_test function was still executed: >>> Test phase [test]: www-apache/mod_auth_glcookie-2.21 Please use install_apache1 or install_apache2 as your make target apachectl restart make: apachectl: Command not found make: *** [restart] Error 127 !!! ERROR: www-apache/mod_auth_glcookie-2.21 failed. !!! Function src_test, Line 526, Exitcode 0 !!! Make test failed. See above for details. !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Removing the nomirror restriction (making RESTRICT="maketest") correctly skips src_test: * Skipping make test/check due to ebuild restriction. >>> Test phase [explicitly disabled]: www-apache/mod_auth_glcookie-2.21 I can post the ebuild if necessary. I realize the maketest value of RESTRICT is undocumented (at least in man 5 ebuild), and thus may not be supported yet, but I did see mention of it on the gentoo-dev mailing list (in preparation for releasing Portage 2.0.51). As a workaround, I've created a src_test function which just prints a message about the problem: src_test() { einfo "Manually disabled src_test since RESTRICT=\"nomirror maketest\" does not work" } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set RESTRICT="nomirror maketest" in an ebuild. 2. emerge category/package Actual Results: The src_test function is still called, even though the ebuild explicitly disables it. Expected Results: The src_test function should not be called when RESTRICT="nomirror maketest" is specified.

Created attachment 43385 [details, diff] Patch to Portage 2.0.51-r2 This patch joins the tokens in the RESTRICT variable separated by a space character instead of nothing. This prevents the issue of ebuild.sh getting a PORTAGE_RESTRICT value of e.g. "nomirrormaketest".
Good catch.
Fixed and in circulation.
