Simple, s/2/3/ for EAPI, add KEYWORDS. Concerned about your opinion on if flex is too close to @system for EAPI3 or not. Since it is EAPI2 already, I guess it is fine?

flex is no longer in the system set, so feel free to commit
Since this bug was filed, we discovered that flex-2.5.35_p10 blocks bootstrapping and we masked it (bug 353609). I don't want to touch flex-2.5.35, so this bug is on hold until the next flex release or something else changes.
how about we: - change 2.5.35_p10 to EAPI=3 - stabilize 2.5.35_p10 - port 2.5.35 to EAPI=3 and add prefix KEYWORDS that way any random fallout in 2.5.35 is irrelevant because all the non-prefix people have moved on to 2.5.35_p10. and when the next release comes out, you just have to add new KEYWORDS.
That would be convenient to us.
(1) is done: http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/flex/flex-2.5.35_p10.ebuild?r1=1.4&r2=1.5 (2) is in flight (3) i'll leave to you :P
Recent versions of flex need a patch to support mint beside that there is no difference between gx86 and the prefix tree.
(In reply to comment #6) i don't think that patch will fly. you probably should add a configure check to see if -fPIC is supported and if so, then build libfl_pic.a via AM_CONDITIONAL.
A version of the patch, which uses libtool go accepted upstream, hence the next release should solve this problem.
sys-devel/flex-2.5.37 has prefix keywords, it seems that this is fixed some time ago + 19 Feb 2013; Zac Medico <zmedico@gentoo.org> flex-2.5.37.ebuild: + Fix for prefix and add ~arm-linux + ~x86-linux keywords.
(In reply to comment #9) > sys-devel/flex-2.5.37 has prefix keywords, it seems that this is fixed some > time ago It works on prefix systems, which support -fPIC. This bug can be closed with the next release of flex.

But it still is in prefix-overlay for some reason... However, besides more keywords, the only diff now is the mint patch, and another one for rpl_realloc, reported upstream as http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3607335&group_id=97492&atid=618177
(In reply to comment #11) well, i'm not inclined to pull in hacks to the main tree. if the next flex version includes everything you need (by using libtool), then let's wait for that in the main tree.
Added flex-2.5.38-r1 to prefix overlay! @haubi: I guess we need to re-add flex-2.5.37-rpl_alloc.patch? @Alan: I dropped mint-patches as flex is now using libtool.
Re-added keywords in prefix-overlay.
in gx86: + 28 Mar 2014; Christoph Junghans <ottxor@gentoo.org> flex-2.5.38-r1.ebuild: + added prefix keywords +
The aix-ppc patch got merged upstream: <http://sourceforge.net/p/flex/bugs/151/> @base-system: can we add that?
(In reply to Christoph Junghans from comment #16) that change is already in flex-2.6.1 which has been in the tree for a while. why does flex-2.5 matter ? i didn't think prefix ran stable keywords.
Yeah I guess with flex-2.6.1 in the tree, we can consider this bug obsolete.
