Bug 154510 – sys-apps/portage-2.1.1-r2 stable request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Zac Medico 2006-11-08 15:31:59 UTC]

Arch teams, please test 2.1.1-r2 and mark it stable.  See bug 153993 for a list of changes relative to 2.1.1-r1.

Note that the implicit RDEPEND behavior has been reverted back to the way it was in <portage-2.0.52. This release is in package.mask because, for consistency, I want the implicit RDEPEND change to be effective for the majority of users at essentially the same time (when I remove it from package.mask).

The ebuild has the following postinst ewarn message:

 * In portage-2.1.1-r2, the implicit RDEPEND behavior has been reverted back to
 * the way it was in <portage-2.0.52. This change restricts implicit RDEPEND to
 * the ebuild level, making it independent of whatever RDEPEND may or may not be
 * defined in the inherited eclasses.  As a result, some ebuilds will get
 * implicit RDEPEND that they did not get previously.  Also, some ebuilds will
 * loose some implicit RDEPEND that they previously got from eclasses.  Users
 * that sync with the rsync mirrors will have their metadata cache automatically
 * updated on the next sync (or the next time that they run
 * `emerge --metadata`).  Users of the gentoo-x86 CVS repository, in order to
 * make the change immediately effective, will have to manually remove the
 * entire contents of /var/cache/edb/dep/ and then run `emerge --regen`.
 * If necessary, please refer to bug #153591 for more information.

If you are testing this release for stablility, then you can either regenerate your cache now or wait until the after the release has been unmasked.  The difference in implicit RDEPEND should not be very noticeable during the interim.

For more information about this change, see bug #153591 and the following discussion:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/43935/

If you would like to seem some data about how many ebuilds will be affected and what the difference will be, please refer to this email:

Thanks in advance! :)

I've unmasked it.  Thanks everyone (except mips).  Can I get a mips keyword? ;)

Sure you can -- a bit late though.
Stable on MIPS.
