Description Stelian Ionescu 2005-04-01 15:23:40 UTC

I believe that the developer who bumped lvm2 to 2.00.33-r3 wanted this line:

use nolvmstatic || myconf="$(use_enable static_link)"

to add "--enable-static_link" to the configure opts if the "nolvmstatic" flag is disabled, but according to http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 "$(use_enable static_link)" returns "--enable-static_link" only when a flag called "static_link" is enabled, yet in /usr/portage/profiles/use*.desc such flag does not exist(end would be useless because of nolvmstatic). Therefore this ebuild always builds lvm2 with "--disable-static_link" which can cause seriuos brokage. The above line should be replaced with with:

use nolvmstatic || myconf="--enable-static_link"
