Bug 131820 – FEATURES=noauto does not download tarballs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-04-30 11:49:45 UTC]

Okay, with the new 2.1_pre10, emerging something with FEATURES=noauto doesn't download the sources, and emerge tries to unpack a missing tarball.

Also -B stops working correctly and tries to enter in a non-created ${D} without even trying to compile anything (leave alone installing).

Seems like FEATURES=noauto changed radically behaviour since pre9?

Thanks,
Diego

It's quite possible, though unintentional.  I've never actually used FEATURES=noauto so I wouldn't know if I broke it.  In make.conf.5 it says "When utilizing ebuild(1), only run the function requested".  If I understand correctly, this feature is useful with emerge(1) also?

Well, obviously I didn't understand correctly, because it's not usefule with emerge at all.  :)

The portage.config constructor was regenerating incrementals during clone operations when it shouldn't have been (old bug triggered by recent changes).  This is fixed in svn r3292.

Released in 2.1_pre10-r1.
