Created attachment 856184 [details] openscad-9999.ebuild w/ experimental USE flag OpenSCAD has a number of useful experimental features locked behind a -DEXPERIMENTAL=ON compile-time flag. Many Gentoo packages have an `experimental` USE flag. This flag should be available for OpenSCAD too. I have implemented the following patch and confirmed that it works as expected: --- a/openscad-9999.ebuild 2022-04-23 00:24:48.843712420 +0800 +++ b/openscad-9999.ebuild 2023-03-05 16:19:12.711233567 +0800 @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ LICENSE="GPL-3+ LGPL-2.1" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="" -IUSE="cairo dbus emacs gamepad headless spacenav" +IUSE="cairo dbus emacs gamepad headless spacenav experimental" RESTRICT="test" # 32 out 1300+ tests fail REQUIRED_USE=" @@ -80,6 +80,7 @@ src_configure() { -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF -DHEADLESS=$(usex headless) -DUSE_CCACHE=OFF + $(usex experimental -DEXPERIMENTAL=ON "") ) if use !headless; then I have also attached my updated ebuild in full in case that's preferable. This may not be the best way to apply this option, so I'll defer to the ebuild experts on how best to implement this of course ;)
I wonder if -DEXPERIMENTAL=$(usex experimental) would work? I haven't dug into how the cmake script plugs into the actual source code, but since the source uses #ifdef I didn't try this avenue first. I'll try it now and report back, looks like it'd fit the style better if it does work

Thanks for your effort. Looks like a useful addition to me.
