Bug 365941 – sys-apps/dbus shall use systemd.eclass to install systemd units

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Michał Górny 2011-05-04 11:22:42 UTC]

As upstream supplies systemd unit files with sys-apps/dbus and dbus itself is an important dependency of systemd, its ebuild should use the systemd eclass to enable installing those units.

I am encouraging ebuild authors to migrate to autotools-utils and use systemd_to_econfargs which provides the eclass with more flexability, though with the current ebuild behaviour such a change looks complex. Thus, it shall at least replace `--without-systemdsystemunitdir' with "$(systemd_with_unitdir)" in the configure script arguments.

autotools-utils is a useless eclass (except for out of source builds) and should be only used as helper eclass for other eclasses (same as base eclass)
it adds extra complexity for stuff portage has always provided as is
so NAK from me

otherwise patches welcome for required changes for systemd

Do you have any other concept allowing eclass to provide a variable number of additional configure arguments possibly containing whitespace?(In reply to comment #1)

Here you are.
