Bug 437536 – fortran-2.eclass pushes fortran as dependancy

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xavier Miller (RETIRED) 2012-10-07 18:05:20 UTC]

In dev-python/numpy ebuilds, there is a call to fortran-2.eclass

But even with USE="-fortran", a dependancy to virtual/fortran is pushed.

In my case, all USE disable fortran dependancies, but that eclass do it.
And *I DON'T NEED FORTRAN*

This misbeahviour appeared today, 2012-10-07. Before, it worked well.
This bogous eclass is dated today, 15:30.

Please roll-back to a previous version.

Thanks in advance.

BTW: why aren't eclasses versionned as ebuilds? I it impossible to get an other version in a "user-based" Portage tree.

Reproducible: Always

The culprit ebuild

if in_iuse fortran; then
        DEPEND="fortran? ( virtual/fortran )"
else
        DEPEND="virtual/fortran"
fi


SO : even with USE="-fortran", fortran is always pulled...
Not all ebuilds based on Fortran have fortran in IUSE

right, that thing was broken and reverted. Please sync or comment that code in the eclass.

Thank you, it's working as expected in my case (USE="-fortran", no explicit fortran dependancies, no hidden dependancy).
