Description Christopher Harvey 2010-04-05 19:42:18 UTC
When I install the avr gcc toolchain with crossdev-0.9.18-r10 on a fairly fresh install it prevents me from using depclean because depclean wants to remove the just-compiled avr toolchain. Also, I noticed that running crossdev -t avr after the toolchain is already installed it wont re-install the packages. I don't know if this is related or not. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. crossdev --without-headers -t avr -v
2. emerge -pv --depclean
3. see avr toolchain marked for removal. 

Actual Results:  
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

 cross-avr/gcc
    selected: 4.4.3 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none 

 cross-avr/avr-libc
    selected: 1.6.8 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none 

 cross-avr/binutils
    selected: 2.20.1 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none


I also saw there are newer versions of crossdev...should I let depclean remove the toolchain then unmask the newer versions and try again? Maybe the solution to this bug is to bump crossdev.

crossdev -t doesnt add it to world, just use emerge --noreplace on these packages.

ok, but is that really correct behavior? If the user runs crossdev to install a toolchain then that means the user wants it there and it shouldn't be removed by depclean.

that would be a possibility. just rename the subject to: crossdev-<version> improvement.

What really bugs me is the fact that it creates these symlinked ebuild cross-<arc>/{binutils,gcc,...} to whatever comes first in PORTDIR_OVERLAY,
if that is something from layman, there's a wrong overlay info on querys or the symlinks get removed/changed by layman -S.
Comment 5 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-04-09 05:57:29 UTC
This behavior is intended. The reason it is omitted from world is multi fold. Mainly. it's from a dynamic overlay that really does not exist. Packages outside of the tree really don't belong in the world file. 

Sorry but you need to add them manually if you want such behaviors. You can either edit world file or emerge cross-$CHOST/$toolchain


Re: What bugs you.
If you know of a better automagic way to auto select which overlay to use other then the first in the array. Please submit ideas with patches.
