doing "ssh MACHINE emerge info" has different output from manually ssh'ing to MACHINE, and running 'emerge info'. It seems that /etc/profile.env is not loaded in the non-interactive ssh case anymore. (I'm pretty certain it used to be). This breaks some emerges where the CONFIG_PROTECT settings from /etc/profile.env are not loaded, and emerge then wipes out stuff that would be protected otherwise. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: portage should ensure that profile.env (And possibly profile) are loaded. strangely putting 'source /etc/profile.env' inside /etc/portage/bashrc didn't seem to help either. head ~ # ssh node009 emerge info Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre1 Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/ config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/mnt/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/mnt/packages/node/nodebug" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/scratch/gentoo-portage-tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://mirror.iat.sfu.ca/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 aalib acl alsa berkdb crypt cscope erandom f77 fam floppyboot fortran gcj gdbm hpn ipv6 java jikes jpeg kerberos krb5 ldap libwww mmx ncurses netboot objc pam pbs pcap perl pic png python quota quotas readline rpc sasl slang slp snmp spell sse ssh ssl tcpd urandom userlocales xfs xml xml2 zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY head ~ # ssh node009 Last login: Thu Jul 21 00:09:32 2005 from head node009 ~ # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre1 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/ config /usr/spool/PBS /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/mnt/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/mnt/packages/node/nodebug" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/scratch/gentoo-portage-tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://mirror.iat.sfu.ca/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 aalib acl alsa berkdb crypt cscope erandom f77 fam floppyboot fortran gcj gdbm hpn ipv6 java jikes jpeg kerberos krb5 ldap libwww mmx ncurses netboot objc pam pbs pcap perl pic png python quota quotas readline rpc sasl slang slp snmp spell sse ssh ssl tcpd urandom userlocales xfs xml xml2 zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
This points more to the fact that CONFIG_PROTECT and it's cousins probably shouldn't be stored in the ENV, but should be put elsewhere. kyoto portage # cat bashrc echo $EBUILD_PHASE PATH=/usr/bin:/bin/ . /etc/profile.env echo $CONFIG_PROTECT kyoto portage # CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" emerge bash Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-shells/bash-3.0-r12 to / clean /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/ shutdown /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/ share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/ texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ / usr/share/config .... Putting . /etc/profile.env in your /etc/portage/bashrc should work for you if you don't do command line CONFIG_PROTECT things. Otherwise the command line CONFIG_PROTECT gets quashed by the many sourcings of /etc/profile.env that the bashrc will do. I would suggest looking at your ssh configuration as well. The point is valid ( user uses a different shell or has a weird ENV portage should take notice ). However I think your ssh settings can take care of this in your case. As for this working in an older version, what version did you first notice the problem? I'll dive into the CVS logs to see if I can find the commit that broke it and attempt to get it fixed. Note that it could also be that this was always broken and your ssh configuration changed. Please check that as well.
yeah, i agree CONFIG_PROTECT / CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK in the env is wrong
While I also agree that it's wrong, somewhere along the line it was decided to be a good thing. Now there's several packages that depend on it, so... How about sourcing /etc/env.d and inserting the result after make.conf but before the real env?
Is this still an issue? (seems to work fine here)
yeah it seems to have gone away with newer baselaoyuts.
