Description Marios Andreopoulos 2009-03-15 01:18:14 UTC

Hello, I installed today the testing version of portage 2.6.1.8. It seems that this version ignores the -stricter feature I have set in make.conf and thus I can not emerge packages that fail QA checks.

Unfortunately I can confirm it only for media-tv/xbmc, a hard masked ebuild, as I don't know any other package that fails QA checks in order to try it too.

With portage 2.6.1.7 I get the expected behavior, the package gets installed despite failing the stricter tests.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge portage-2.6.1.8
2. Set feature -stricter at make.conf
3. emerge an ebuild that fails stricter tests (I tried only media-tv/xbmc)

Actual Results:  
* Function `completion_matches' implicitly converted to pointer at /var/tmp/portage/media-tv/xbmc-9999/work/xbmc-9999/xbmc/lib/libPython/Python/Modules/readline.c:683
 *
 *  Please file a bug about this at http://bugs.gentoo.org/
 *  with the maintaining herd of the package.

 *  The die message:

 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

Expected Results:  
Install the package despite the failed tests.

It is intended behavior:

These warnings indicate very probable segmentation faults on 64-bit architectures, so you should report bugs for all affected packages.

Thanks, I  hadn't notice this change.
Sorry for the useless bug report.
