Bug 310845 – app-admin/webalizer-xtended: package needs at least one USE flag but no USE flag enabled by default

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

Hello,

You're receiving this canned (template-based) bug report because I found an annoyance with a package during my tinderbox run.

The package in question is checking for one out of a series of USE flags to be enabled, likely because these are multiple selectable backends, but it currently does not use the EAPI=1 feature of default USE flags to work out of the box.

You can see in my blog post in the URL field why that's a problem, and how to address the issue.

It would be very kind of you for both users and developers working on automated reporting, if the ebuild for the package enabled by default at least one backend (more might be enabled if needed).

Please note that sometimes you don't feel the need for this because the desktop profile already enables some of the USE flags, but please consider the idea of enabling them nonetheless, it would help a lot.

Thanks,
Diego

In the way I currently understand it this check does not apply to the webalizer-xtended ebuilds. I have checked the ebuild's logic on use flags and it appears sane to me. Please re-open if necessary.

nls is on by default on the profile; no linguas is though.
