Bug 427076 – Gentoo ebuild dependency on package from overlay

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description Samoilenko Yuri 2012-07-18 10:48:16 UTC]

It is possible to add overlay dependencies to ebuild DEPEND syntax?

Ex:
DEPEND="dev-lang/yasm::stuff"

You can with EAPI 4-python:

Hmm. I have the latests portage =sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha116 and when I'am using EAPI="4-python" I have:

ebuild terminalus-env-0.1.ebuild digest

 * ERROR: skppk/terminalus-env-0.1 failed (depend phase):
 *   Unknown EAPI, Bug eclass maintainers.

That's an eclass issue, and eclasses are not part of sys-apps/portage. You'll have to bug the eclass maintainers like the message says. It seems that a number of eclasses die like this:

$ cd /usr/portage/eclass
$ grep 'Unknown EAPI' *.eclass
cmake-utils.eclass:     *) die "Unknown EAPI, Bug eclass maintainers." ;;
gst-plugins-base.eclass:        *) die "Unknown EAPI" ;;
gtk-sharp-module.eclass:        *) die "Unknown EAPI." ;;
leechcraft.eclass:      *) die "Unknown EAPI, bug eclass maintainers" ;;
ruby-ng.eclass:         die "Unknown EAPI=${EAPI} for ruby-ng.eclass"
vim.eclass:             die "Unknown EAPI ${EAPI}"
xfconf.eclass:  *) die "Unknown EAPI." ;;
x-modular.eclass:               die "Unknown EAPI ${EAPI}"

cmake-utils.eclass fix:

 CMAKE_EXPF="src_compile src_test src_install"
 case ${EAPI:-0} in
-       4|3|2) CMAKE_EXPF+=" src_configure" ;;
+       4-python|4|3|2) CMAKE_EXPF+=" src_configure" ;;
        1|0) ;;
        *) die "Unknown EAPI, Bug eclass maintainers." ;;
 esac


Thx.
