It seems that this now (toolz/virtiosfsd) only gets built when your have an --enable-tools passed to configure. How is this enabled? There is no flag that enables tools in this version. Reproducible: Always
--enable-tools does get used, configure is ran multiple times, one of which is only for tools with --enable-tools In tools/meson.build it first auto-detect deps: have_virtiofsd = (targetos == 'linux' and have_tools and 'CONFIG_SECCOMP' in config_host and 'CONFIG_LIBCAP_NG' in config_host and 'CONFIG_VHOST_USER' in config_host) So first need USE="caps seccomp", but further on: elif get_option('virtiofsd').disabled() or not have_system have_virtiofsd = false endif Bit of interest is "or not have_system" given have_system=false when configure is used this way. I tried removing this check and it gave me a virtfsd. Not sure what would be the most appropriate fix to accommodate how the ebuild does things preferably without patching.

Well, maybe it just shouldn't be auto-enabled based on other options. e.g. USE=virtiofsd, pass --enable-virtiofsd, with REQUIRED_USE on caps and seccomp (maybe something else of interest, I don't use virtiofsd myself), it doesn't check have_system then. So users that need this would have a clear way to enable it.

Created attachment 678217 [details, diff] 0001-app-emulation-qemu-build-virtiofsd-if-USE-vhost-user.patch Here's a potential patch for the aformentioned vhost-user-fs approach, but please ignore/modify if believe should be handled differently (I don't know much about vhost-user-fs/virtiofsd).

The last being disabled for the tools build led to virtiofsd being missing for users. Rather than work around, control using --enable-virtiofsd and USE=vhost-user-fs Cannot be enabled together with --disable-tools, so added conf_tools() Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/759673 Package-Manager: Portage-3.0.12, Repoman-3.0.2 Signed-off-by: Ionen Wolkens <sudinave@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org> app-emulation/qemu/{qemu-5.2.0.ebuild => qemu-5.2.0-r1.ebuild} | 10 ++++++++++ app-emulation/qemu/qemu-9999.ebuild | 10 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 20 insertions(+)
