Bug 912447 – profiles: USE flag postgres_targets_postgres15 is still masked but dev-db/postgresql:15 is stable and become the default target

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xiami 2023-08-18 08:58:44 UTC]

I see the following lines in profiles/base/use.stable.mask:

# Patrick Lauer <[e-mail]> (2022-10-13)
# Postgres:15 is not stable yet
postgres_targets_postgres15


This leads to the following emerge failure:

!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "postgis" has unmet requirements.
- dev-db/postgis-3.3.2-r1::gentoo USE="-address-standardizer -doc -gtk -static-libs -topology" ABI_X86="(64)" POSTGRES_TARGETS="-postgres11 -postgres12 -postgres13 -postgres14 (-postgres15)"

  The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
    any-of ( postgres_targets_postgres15 postgres_targets_postgres14 postgres_targets_postgres13 postgres_targets_postgres12 postgres_targets_postgres11 )


And by default, POSTGRES_TARGETS is set to "postgres15" in profiles/base/make.defaults:

# Aaron W. Swenson <[e-mail]> (2017-07-09)
# Default target(s) for postgres{,-multi}.eclass
POSTGRES_TARGETS="postgres15"


I have to add (the stable atom) "=dev-db/postgis-3.3.2-r1 ~arch" to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords or add "-postgres_targets_postgres15" in /etc/portage/profile/use.stable.mask to override.


Is there any blockers or is it ok to remove the USE mask now?
