Bug 269315 – [TRACKER] sys-devel/binutils[default-gold] linker breakage

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Alfredsen (RETIRED) 2009-05-10 21:20:40 UTC]

You know the rules, this is a tracker. Don't post comments, link bugs.

[Comment 1 Alec Meyers 2009-05-11 21:17:08 UTC]

Please also add Bug 269464

[Comment 2 Alec Meyers 2009-05-11 21:29:29 UTC]

And another one:
Bug 269469

(Is this the proper way to do it?)

[Comment 3 Peter Alfredsen (RETIRED) 2009-05-11 21:43:07 UTC]

(In reply to comment #2)

No, you make your bugs block this bug. So paste "269315" into the "Bug xyz blocks" field in your bug. And please pay attention to initial comment. No comments, please :-)

[Comment 4 Zeev Tarantov 2009-09-09 19:48:08 UTC]

I've tried to add bug #284338 to depends but got:

You tried to change the Depends on field , but only the assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may change that field.

[Comment 5 Alec Meyers 2009-09-09 21:08:48 UTC]

Zeev,

You should do it the other way around - add this bug to the "blocks" field in YOUR bug :)

# ld.gold is essentially abandoned; using it as default may have
# unintended consequences. Disabling this feature in future ebuilds.
