Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2014-11-23 19:16:23 UTC
Let's say I have two profiles: base and subprofile, with subprofile inheriting base. If base has:

  USE_EXPAND="PYTHON_TARGETS"
  PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4"

and subprofile has:

  PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_3"

Portage appends 3.3 as if PYTHON_TARGETS were incremental. However, if I do:

  PYTHON_TARGETS="-* python3_3"

It complains:

  Invalid '-' operator in non-incremental variable 'PYTHON_TARGETS': '-*'

and ignores the unset.


Now, reading PMS. '5.3.2 Specific variables and their meanings' says:

  USE_EXPAND
    Defines a list of variables which are to be treated incrementally
    and whose contents are to be expanded into the USE variable as passed
    to ebuilds. See section 11.1.1 for details.

So I'd say Portage should treat it fully incrementally, and respect '-flag' incl. '-*'. CC-ing pms-bugs@ to confirm.

I have a patch in this branch:

	https://github.com/zmedico/portage/tree/bug_530222

I'll post it for review after I've added some unit tests.

The above commit broke tests strangely somehow, so here it is with fixup:

Here's the final version which uses filter(None, self.make_defaults_use) to fix the previously mentioned test failure:
