Description Nick Bowler 2011-08-31 15:41:26 UTC
The sysvinit build system (in all current versions) picks up DISTRO from the
environment and automagically selects which binaries to build and install based
on it.  For instance, if you run DISTRO=gentoo emerge sysvinit, you will end up
without any of the mountpoint, sulogin, bootlogd, wall or utmpdmp binaries, nor
any of their man pages.

The ebuild should probably force DISTRO to the empty string, which has the
makefile build and install all binaries.

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-09-07 03:52:57 UTC
setting DISTRO= in your env is kind of dumb

Comment 2 Nick Bowler 2011-09-07 04:37:10 UTC
Apparently only because dumb build systems slurp it up.  But whatever.
