Bug 915112 – net-libs/nodejs: USE=corepack should not require USE=-npm

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Gianni Ceccarelli 2023-10-03 13:39:34 UTC]

currently, it's not possible to build nodejs with both `npm` and `corepack` enabled

I'm not clear on why this was chosen, but:

* it's not necessary, I've just now built a nodejs with both enabled by just removing `corepack? ( !npm )` from `REQUIRED_USE` in the ebuild, and everything works fine
* pre-build node distributions, like those installed by `nvm`, include both `npm` and `corepack`
* some packages (I've noticed with https://www.npmjs.com/package/re2 but I suspect most packages depending on node-gyp) require `npm`, or they won't build

would it be possible to allow both USE flags at the same time?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
USE='corepack npm' emerge nodejs

Actual Results:  
!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "nodejs" has unmet requirements.
- net-libs/nodejs-20.5.1::gentoo USE="corepack doc icu inspector npm snapshot ssl system-icu system-ssl -debug (-lto) -pax-kernel -test" ABI_X86="(64)" CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse2"

  The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
    corepack? ( !npm )

  The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:
    corepack? ( !npm ) inspector? ( icu ssl ) npm? ( ssl ) system-icu? ( icu ) system-ssl? ( ssl ) x86? ( cpu_flags_x86_sse2 )



Expected Results:  
builds and installs node, and we get `/usr/bin/npm`, `/usr/bin/pnpm`, and `/usr/bin/yarn`
