Description 404 Error 2009-02-17 03:44:57 UTC

When dev-dotnet/mono-fuse-0.4.2 is emerged, its use flag 'examples' seems to be ignored making the code samples being built.

[ Searching for packages matching mono-fuse... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column  (U) - USE flags from make.conf              ]
[        : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for dev-dotnet/mono-fuse-0.4.2 ]
 U I
 - - examples : Install examples, usually source code



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check that 'examples' is not set for dev-dotnet/mono-fuse-0.4.2
2. emerge dev-dotnet/mono-fuse-0.4.2


Actual Results:  
make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-dotnet/mono-fuse-0.4.2/work/mono-fuse-0.4.2/src'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-dotnet/mono-fuse-0.4.2/work/mono-fuse-0.4.2/src'
Making all in example  <--- This should not occur as 'examples' is not set
make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-dotnet/mono-fuse-0.4.2/work/mono-fuse-0.4.2/example'
Making all in HelloFS


Expected Results:  
'examples' use flag taken into account.

The ebuild intends to skip installing (rather than building) example files with USE=-examples, so I don't think the fact that it was trying to build example files is a bug... unless the examples require extra deps to build that are currently not listed (one possible reason examples fail to build, not that I know anything specifically about bug #256926). It may be that in every case where the examples fail to build your mono-fuse is busted as well, in which case skipping the examples compile would gain you very little.

Well, I'll leave the decision of whether this is really a problem to maintainers :)

Hehe, well I set this one to "minor"

This was dropped some time ago
