Description C W Rose 2013-01-15 09:29:21 UTC

The current recoll-1.17.3-r1 ebuild has gone back to requiring fam or inotify,
neither of which are essential.  Bug 389595 fixed this for 1.16, but apparently
its back.

Trying to emerge recoll, I get:

tuppence ~ # USE="-fam -inotify" emerge -pv recoll

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies \

!!! Problem resolving dependencies for app-misc/recoll
... done!

!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "recoll" has unmet requirements.
- app-misc/recoll-1.17.3-r1::gentoo USE="camelcase chm dvi exif ics info pdf postscript qt4 rtf spell tex xattr xml -audio -djvu -fam -inotify -lyx -msdoc -msppt -msxls -session -wordperfect"

  The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
    exactly-one-of ( fam inotify )

  The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:
    exactly-one-of ( fam inotify ) session? ( any-of ( fam inotify ) )

tuppence ~ # 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to emerge recoll
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
See above

Expected Results:  
Recoll emerging without fam or inotify.

Why do you need INOTIFY disabled? I think that should be enabled for default for Linux and the USE=fam should be masked everywhere except in BSD profiles

I have a related problem: if I am correct, fam is enabled by default in /usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/make.defaults.

No problem about that, but if you look at /usr/portage/app-misc/recoll/recoll-1.17.3-r1.ebuild, you will find that:

IUSE="+spell +inotify +qt4 +session camelcase xattr fam ${INDEX_HELPERS}"

Which means that inotify is also enabled by default (if I understand correctly). This is a bit contradictory because it means that one of the two has to be disabled by the user.
