Bug 102242 – Portage inherits eclasses from overlays, even when ebuilds are from normal tree

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Hagai Kariti 2005-08-12 07:34:22 UTC]

Hi.
It happened to me twice already: I have an overlay with an 'eclass' folder in
it, and when I emerge something (that's in the normal tree), it inherited the
class from the overlay instead (or in addition to) the one in the package's
tree, and caused a compilation failure. As soon as I removed the overlay
everything worked.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an overlay with an 'eclass' dir in it.
2. Put a class which also exists in the normal tree, but that it different, in
the eclass dir.
2. Emerge a package which uses this class
3. Watch it break

Actual Results:  
gnome-vfs and styleclock (I assume other packages can break too) broke

Expected Results:  
Portage should source the eclass only in the tree from which the compiling
package is (or, always source the eclass from the normal tree and from the
package's overlay's eclass)

it's supposed to work this way
