Bug 76404 – ufed does not handle '-' in use flags

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toralf Förster 2005-01-02 06:55:44 UTC]

I have '-acl -ipv6' in my use flags. After using ufed I got:

nhh221 /etc # diff make.conf make.conf.old
11c11
< USE="-* acpi cddb cdparanoia doc dvd dvdr dvdread ethereal font-server \
---
> USE="acpi cddb cdparanoia doc dvd dvdr dvdread ethereal font-server \
13,14c13
<      nagios-ping nagios-s network pcmcia sse sse2 truetype-fonts \
<      type1-fonts usb xfs"
---
>      nagios-ping nagios-s network pcmcia sse sse2 usb xfs -acl -ipv6"

The '-*' at the beginning breaks a lot If I would do an 'emerge -p depclean' or so.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Handle '-acl -ipv6' correctly

Hi, this is another effect of a bug that has been fixed in ufed 0.35-r3 (not yet marked stable). The problem is that ufed gets confused when make.defaults is empty. ufed 0.35-r2 only reads /etc/make.profile/make.defaults, which can be empty, but ufed 0.35-r3 also reads the make.defaults of parent directories (as it should), and won't encounter only empty files. Could you try installing 0.35-r3 to confirm that it works for you too?

[Comment 2 Toralf Förster 2005-01-02 08:08:27 UTC]

-r3 solves this bug

[Comment 3 Jesse Adelman 2005-02-17 16:46:45 UTC]

Is something holding this back from being marked STABLE? Thanks.

[Comment 4 Colin Tinker 2005-04-09 06:04:58 UTC]

The upgrade to 2005.0 shows the effect of this bug and totally breaks the use flags unless you install -r3 of ufed and as 2004.3 has beed marked deprecated should be resolved asap.

[Comment 5 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) 2005-04-09 06:26:26 UTC]

Yeah, I know, 0.36 should be marked stable on the remaining archs one of the next days (it already is stable for most archs). Sorry for the delay.

tfoerste@nhh221 ~ $ qpkg -I -v -nc ufed
app-portage/ufed-0.35-r3

?

[Comment 7 Jesse Adelman 2005-04-09 10:57:02 UTC]

Had this bug delete my USE flags entirely on one box. Luckily, make.conf.old got created by UFED (thanks for the foresight!). Looking formward to the release.

[Comment 8 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) 2005-04-23 12:04:12 UTC]

0.36 has been stable for a little while now; I forgot to close this.

[Comment 9 Grégoire Favre 2006-08-24 01:19:27 UTC]

I don't know if that's related or not but starting ufed remove those here :
-video_cards_i810 -video_cards_mga
-video_cards_s3virge -video_cards_savage -video_cards_sis
-video_cards_tdfx -video_cards_trident -video_cards_via -video_cards_apm
-video_cards_ark -video_cards_chips -video_cards_cirrus
-video_cards_cyrix -video_cards_dummy -video_cards_glint
-video_cards_i128 -video_cards_neomagic -video_cards_rendition
-video_cards_s3 -video_cards_siliconmotion -video_cards_sisusb
-video_cards_tga -video_cards_tseng -video_cards_voodoo
And leaves only "-kde" ???

Any idea why ?

It's because there is no such USE flag as video_cards_tseng etc. as far as ufed is concerned. They are special flags set by portage, and you shouldn't normally set them yourself. You should set the VIDEO_CARDS variable instead (manually, since ufed can't do this yet).
