Description Perfect Gentleman 2022-11-14 11:55:31 UTC

readline? ( dev-libs/libedit )
should be
readline? ( dev-libs/readline )



Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Perfect Gentleman 2022-11-14 11:59:37 UTC

readline? ( dev-libs/libedit )
should be
readline? ( sys-libs/readline )

No, it's right.

We have a tendency to reuse the same name for features.

I built fine chrony without libedit

Then turn off USE=readline?

In case haven't seen it and still unclear, the ebuild has this comment explaining it:

        # USE=readline here means "readline-like functionality"
        # chrony only supports libedit in terms of the library providing
        # it.
        $(usev !readline '--without-editline --disable-readline')

./configure only tests editline/readline.h rather than readline/readline.h:

    if test_code editline 'stdio.h editline/readline.h' '' '-ledit'

So as mentioned above, if you don't want readline-like functionality using libedit, just disable USE=readline because you're not using sys-libs/readline either way (no support).
