I upgraded Gnome 2.8 to Gnome 2.10 on June 10th and the network-admin is gone somehow (and I really like this tool!). I checked the source tarball for gnome-system-tools package and it seems that the code for network-admin looks to be in place. However, after emerging the gnome-system-tools-1.2.0-r1 package, network-admin is not built. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gnome OR 2. emerge -av --oneshot gnome-system-tools Actual Results: There are several programs added to the system after emerging this package: # qpkg -l gnome-system-toolsapp-admin/gnome-system-tools-1.2.0-r1 * CONTENTS: /etc /etc/gconf /etc/gconf/schemas /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-system-tools.schemas /var /var/lib /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/boot-admin /usr/bin/services-admin /usr/bin/shares-admin /usr/bin/users-admin /usr/bin/time-admin /usr/lib ... But there is no /usr/bin/network-admin there. And in Gnome 2.8 there was one! Expected Results: I checked the /usr/portage/app-admin/gnome-system-tools/gnome-system-tools-1.2.0-r1.ebuild file, and there is a following part: ... # --enable-disks is not (still) supported for Gentoo G2CONF="${G2CONF} --enable-boot --enable-services --disable-network" if ! use nfs && ! use samba; then G2CONF="${G2CONF} --disable-shares" fi ... The strange thing is that --disable-network switch. Effectively it creates the following entry in the package's Makefile: ... VERSION = 1.2.0 gnomelocaledir = ${prefix}/${DATADIRNAME}/locale interfacesdir = /usr/share/gnome-system-tools/interfaces mkdir_p = mkdir -p -- . pixmapsdir = /usr/share/gnome-system-tools/pixmaps scriptsdir = boot_SUBDIR = boot #network_SUBDIR = network services_SUBDIR = services time_SUBDIR = time users_SUBDIR = users #disks_SUBDIR = disks shares_SUBDIR = shares ... Just look at this #network_SUBDIR = network line. Now I understand that using this ebuild there's no chance that network-admin would be built. I expect that the ebuild file should be updated, and the "--disable-network" switch should be removed. Looks like an [intentional?] overlook in ebuild file, resulting in a lessened functionality regression. Why is that "--disable-network" switch needed here? (I can understand missing "--enable-disks" switch, but this one???)
