Bug 465796 – break quota dependencies for systemd on uclibc

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description pmn 2013-04-13 14:40:09 UTC]

quota requires rpc and rpcbind doesn't build on uclibc even with USE flag rpc enabled on uclibc. however quota is not a strickt requirement for systemd. i have worked around this by adding quota to the list of *provided* ports but there should be a sane way of doing this i suppose.

Reproducible: Always

If quota is totally disabled on uclibc, I guess we can just conditionally omit the dep.

it is not disabled as far as i remember (don't have my machine here to check). but i guess it should be at least masked for now since it doesn't compile on uclibc.

Are you able to build/install sys-fs/quota with USE="-rpc"?

i must have tried it at some point but i will confirm later.

[and] it must have failed is what i was trying to say. i will give it a go again and report back here.

nop!

i don't much about ebuilds so this all could be way off:

based on this:
<http://devmanual.gentoo.org/quickstart/>
"The package's ./configure script takes the usual --enable-nls or --disable-nls argument. We use the use_enable utility function to generate this automatically, depending on the user's USE flags"

quota's configure doesn't seem to be doing that:
<http://sourceforge.net/p/linuxquota/code/ci/master/tree/configure.in>

"
AC_ARG_ENABLE(rpc,
	[  --enable-rpc=[yes/no]           Enable RPC support [default=yes].],
	,
	enable_rpc="yes")
"
so this in quota's ebuild fails to do disable rpc:

$(use_enable rpc) \

You should file a separate bug for that, and make sure to attach a build log.

done, without the build log for now:

I see that quota was dep only because of path finding code. But we can just inline the paths in the ebuild, and -9999 now does that. I'll backport it to earlier ebuilds when I finish auditing the ebuild.

  15 Apr 2013; Michał Górny <[e-mail]> systemd-201.ebuild:
  Backport quota dep removal and configure cleanup from -9999. No need to
  revbump since the changes affect build process only.
