When I install Emacs in a sysroot, the /usr/bin/emacs symlink is not created in the sysroot unless eselect-emacs is manually installed in / beforehand. It runs "eselect emacs" in pkg_post* functions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --rage-clean app-eselect/eselect-emacs # with the / profile 2. emerge app-editors/emacs # with a sysroot profile Actual Results: No /usr/bin/emacs exists in the sysroot. Expected Results: It should symlink /usr/bin/emacs as expected. I only care about version =app-editors/emacs-27.0.90 at the moment.
BDEPEND won't be correct, because it applies only to src_* functions: https://projects.gentoo.org/pms/7/pms.html#x1-680008.1 I fear that we must wait for install time dependencies in EAPI 8.

Thinking about it, app-eselect/eselect-emacs is a CBUILD type install dependency, so BDEPEND (CBUILD type) is more correct than DEPEND (CHOST type). Note that it will still fail when installing a binary package in a sysroot, so I leave this bug open.
Created attachment 715881 [details, diff] fix.patch This updates to EAPI 8 and IDEPEND. It needed a bunch of eclass updates to work, though. (Tested with portage-3.0.20.)
Created attachment 716856 [details, diff] fix.patch Rebased, and IDEPEND does not enforce its dependencies being installed during uninstallation, so the pkg_postrm function should test with has_version before calling eselect.
(In reply to David Michael from comment #5) > [...] the pkg_postrm function should test with has_version before calling > eselect. Not going to happen: - The only effect of the has_version test would be to suppress an error message. (It is intentional that there's no "|| die" after the eselect commands.) - During an uninstall sequence, there is no guarantee that deep dependencies are still present any point, so additional tests for app-admin/eselect, app-eselect/eselect-ctags, etc. would be needed. IMHO trying to cover this completely would be a futile undertaking.
This is currently blocked by autotools.eclass. All other inherited eclasses have EAPI 8 support.
