Description Martin Allchin 2005-04-01 11:45:22 UTC
The mono use flag is hard-set in 2004.3 for amd64, yet I have successfully compiled and tested several mono apps. Can we remove the hard-set use flag and enable/disable mono use flag in make.conf as usual.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile an app with mono support, eg 'emerge -pv dbus'
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4  +X -debug +gtk (-mono) +python -qt +xml2

Expected Results:  
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4  +X -debug +gtk +mono +python -qt +xml2

We really can't do this yet. mono-1.0.x on amd64 doesn't offer the necessary tools, only mono-1.1.x does (for amd64, other arches 1.0.x is enough). Unmasking the USE flag requires mono-1.1.x to be out of package.mask, which it won't be for at least another 2 weeks, if not significantly longer.

If you remove that mask before we have a 1.1.x stable (or at least out of package.mask), prepare for massive breakage. When it does come time to get that USE flag back, you'll also have to do something along the lines of:

mono? (
     dev-lang/mono
     amd64? ( >=dev-lang/mono-1.1.4 )
)

in order to make sure that amd64 has a new enough mono which includes the amd64 JIT.

Peter:
No, we will stabilise mono-1.1.4 as soon as possible and then package mask all lesser version. That way, we don't need to modify each ebuild depending on mono
in the tree.
Comment 3 Martin Allchin 2005-04-02 12:57:46 UTC
Sounds like a plan, I can confirm mono-1.1.2 works on amd64 too, I have it built and have tested several apps (namely beagle)

 If you need extra testing on mono before it's unmasked I am willing to help :)
Comment 4 Mark Rosenstand 2005-06-04 09:04:06 UTC
Now that mono-1.1* is in ~amd64, it would be nice if you either removed the mono
USE-flag from use.mask or gave instructions on how to override.
Comment 5 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-04 09:11:10 UTC
we can't unmask it since it's not yet stable but we have packages marked stable
that use the mono flag. unmasking it would screw up the dependency tree. you
could just take mono out of default-linux/amd64/use.mask
Comment 6 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-04 09:17:50 UTC
sorry, just changing the profile itself is a bad idea, since it will be
overwritten everytime you sync, but `echo "-mono" >>
/etc/portage/profile/use.mask` is a nice solution

I discovered that, but thanks anyway. Maybe it'd be an idea to einfo amd64 users
about that in the mono ebuild?
Comment 8 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-04 11:18:24 UTC
i don't think that we should explain portage's functionality in an ebuild, man
portage already covers that. and the use flag will get out of use.mask soon
anyway...
Comment 9 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-12 06:14:08 UTC
we have to wait for mono-1.1.7 becoming stable to unmask the use flag
Comment 10 Mike Doty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-08 06:50:07 UTC
I hope we're still not talking about the 2004.3 profile like the summary suggests
Comment 11 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-19 16:52:50 UTC
mono 1.1.13.2 is stable on amd64 and the use mask has been removed. Really close this bug.
