Description Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-28 01:29:15 UTC
See dev ml regarding details; either use SANDBOX_ON within the specific phases
you need to disable sandbox (kindly flipping it back to it's previous state), or
set a RESTRICT="sandbox"
SANDBOX_DISABLED at the global level is effectively the restrict.

Ebuilds affected-
app-emacs/erc-cvs-4.1
app-emacs/gnu-cvs-5.11
app-editors/emacs-*
app-editors/emacs-cvs-*
app-editors/xemacs-gtk-*
app-editors/xemacs-*

So... kindly fix 'em up, cause I'd like to nuke SANDBOX_DISABLED sooner rather
then later. :)
mattam, assigning this to you since you seem to be active (usata I think is
active also), if I completely missed the boat on who's active or not, pardon. :)

 Sure, all packages are either nonexistant anymore or fixed.  So you can close the bug, I remove emacs from cc.

virtualx.eclass still needs to be fixed.

So...I'm thinking about ripping out the global turning off of sandbox and testing all of the ebuilds that use the eclass quickly to make sure nothing breaks.  The few I looked at just seem to use Xmake for src_test.

Sound sane or am I missing something?

This clearly won't move an inch further with m-needed as assignee. And yeah, loosing bunch of apparently sucky tests is a whole lot better than disabling sandbox in global scope.

Why noone asked the maintainers...

    virtualx.eclass: Do not disable sandbox
    
    The code responsible for disabling sandbox dates back to 2002 and does
    not include any explanation.  Let's try if we still need it.
