When writing a custom local ebuild with a USE flag dependancy, I found that syntax checking when I ran "ebuild (package.ebuild) manifest" missed an error that was later caught by running emerge on the same package. For example, I used the following syntax in my ebuild: DEPEND="${DEPEND} sources_standalone? !=sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-${PVR}" The ebuild manifest command processes this syntax without error, however, an error is returned later when trying to emerge this ebuild. This correct syntax should have included parenthesis around the package: DEPEND="${DEPEND} sources_standalone? ( !=sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-${PVR} )" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit an ebuild and insert USE flag dependancy syntax similar to the following: DEPEND="${DEPEND} sources_standalone? !=sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-${PVR}" 2. Run "ebuild (package-name.ebuild) manifest" Actual Results: The manifesting completes successfully. Expected Results: The manifest operation should fail due to improper syntax.
Confirmed this was fixed.
(In reply to comment #1) > Confirmed this was fixed. In which version? We have stricter dependency handling in >=portage-2.2_rc68 so maybe that's what you are referring to.
