If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. I have this in the ebuild in the beginning of pkg_setup and src_unpack: echo "foo" echo ${A} I know that the functions are not run in the order they are probably meant to be as looking at man ebuild I should do ebuild setup clean unpack which works without problems. But I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be able to run setup clean in any order I wan't. A warning would be nice if I indeed can't run the functions in reverse order to avoid hair pulling when thinking what is wrong. pena linux-wlan-ng-modules # emerge info Portage 2.0.52-r1 (!/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.13-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r2 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre8 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.13 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/init.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/src/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache cvs distlocks fixpackages noauto sandbox sfperms sign strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo http://lame.lut.fi/linux/gentoo " LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LINGUAS="fi" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/home/pkg/" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/mnt/checkouts/gentoo-x86" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/mnt/checkouts/overlays/betelgeuse /mnt/checkouts/overlays/gentopia" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac acl acpi alsa apm arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth browserplugin bzip2 bzlib cdb cddb cdparanoia cdr crypt cups dbus divx4linux dts dvd dvdr dvdread emboss esd fam firefox foomaticdb freetype gif gstreamer gtk2 hal java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal libg++ libwww logitech-mouse lzo mad makecheck mikmod mjpeg mmx mmx2 mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses network nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib png qt quicktime readline real rtc ruby samba slang spell sse sse2 ssl subversion svg symlink tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb userlocales vorbis win32codecs xine xml xml2 xv xvid zlib video_cards_nvidia linguas_fi userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LDFLAGS

(In reply to comment #2) > I'm kind of inclined to just state noauto is broke and be on my merry way... > with noauto off, this is fixed in p.masked 2.0.53, horked in <.53 If we go the way of stating noauto being broken/unsupported, we should make all the documentation reflect this.
i also really hate taking that stance FEATURES=noauto is invaluable to developers
It's not really broken. It just requires expert knowledge. This bug is either INVALID or can only be fixed by reordering specified phases and hence removing power/flexibility.
i dont really see how `ebuild <ebuild> clean setup unpack ...` is using it wrong
You're assuming "clean" and "setup" should be independent of each other. This is a natural assumption, which I'd also make the mistake of making. However, `ebuild <ebuild> setup` does more than just run pkg_setup, which is where expert knowledge comes into it. Having said that, I had a quick look at the code and can't see why ${A} isn't being passed down to the ebuild env.
I think it would be best to add loud warnings if people try to run functions out of order and be done with it.

Note the difference between declare -r ${!x} and declare -r ${x} :)
Fixed in portage-2.0.53_rc4
