When trying to override some variables in package.env, emerge does not take them into account. To reproduce the bug: 1) echo media-gfx/imagemagick binpkg.conf >> /etc/portage/package.env 2) echo 'FEATURES="${FEATURES} getbinpkg"' >> /etc/portage/env/binpkg.conf 3) emerge --info imagemagick Output: FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs ccache collision-protect config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles merge-sync news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" Expected result: FEATURES should contain getbinpkg Analysis: Execution in strace shows that emerge opens /etc/portage/env/binpkg.conf at the very end of execution, after FEATURES (and many other variables) are already defined. Solution: emerge should read files in /etc/portage/env earlier in the execution. emerge --info output: Portage 2.1.11.55 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop, gcc-4.6.3, glibc-2.15-r3, 3.7.9-gentoo20130310 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.7.9-gentoo20130310-x86_64-AMD_Phenom-tm-_II_X4_955_Processor-with-gentoo-2.1 KiB Mem: 2050972 total, 44452 free KiB Swap: 3012112 total, 2777964 free Timestamp of tree: Sat, 30 Mar 2013 17:00:01 +0000 ld GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22 ccache version 3.1.9 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.2_p37 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.12-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.7.3-r3, 3.1.3-r1, 3.2.3-r2 dev-util/ccache: 3.1.9 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.9 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.28 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.1-r1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.11.8 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.69 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.3, 1.11.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.22-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.5.4, 4.6.3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.7.3 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r1 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r4 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.7 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.15-r3 Repositories: gentoo bitcoin x-portage ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=amdfam10 -ftracer -pipe -O2 -funroll-all-loops -ftree-vectorize -fpeel-loops -funswitch-loops -funit-at-a-time" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/config /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5.4/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5.4/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5.4/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=amdfam10 -ftracer -pipe -O2 -funroll-all-loops -ftree-vectorize -fpeel-loops -funswitch-loops -funit-at-a-time" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs ccache collision-protect config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles merge-sync news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" FFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.gentoo.org ftp://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles" LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude='/tmp' --exclude='/packages_dell' --exclude='/ccache'" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/portage/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 branding bzip2 cairo cdda cdr cli consolekit consolokit cups cxx dbus dri dts dvd dvdr emboss encode exif fam firefox flac fortran iconv ipv6 jpeg kde kdeenablefinal lcms libnotify mad mailwrapper mmx mmxext mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pango pcre pdf pic policykit ppds qt3support qt4 readline scanner session sse sse2 startup-notification svg tcltk tiff truetype udev udisks unicode upower usb wxwidgets x264 xcb xcomposite xml xv xvid" ABI_X86="64" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="dmix dsnoop plug asym softvol ladspa route" APACHE2_MODULES="mime authz_host dir alias autoindex" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan sheets stage tables krita karbon braindump" CAMERAS="canon ptp2 samsung directory" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="presenter-console presenter-minimizer" LINGUAS="fr" NETBEANS_MODULES="ide php" OFFICE_IMPLEMENTATION="libreoffice" PHP_TARGETS="php5-4" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_2" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18 ruby19" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, USE_PYTHON
Currently, FEATURES=getbinpkg only works as a global setting. There are other FEATURES settings that can be successfully overridden via package.env, such as buildpkg, splitdebug, and installsources.

Are there any plans to change that behaviour? I'd really like to make use of that feature for that mighty libreoffice package that should not be compiled on my old & weak laptops ...
Current issue comlicates the using of binary package hosting [1] setup for individual packages. [1]: https://dilfridge.blogspot.com/2021/09/experimental-binary-gentoo-package.html
From a recent discussion: 2023-12-29 08:51:43 AM +ztrawhcse I did however note in locally playing around that it doesn't seem possible to set FEATURES=-getbinpkg in package.env 2023-12-29 08:51:59 AM +ztrawhcse so it's not fully clear how to guarantee a specific package is locally compiled 2023-12-29 08:52:08 AM @sam_ yes, this is an interesting question 2023-12-29 08:52:25 AM @sam_ overall package.env support is way harder if we allow it for any atom because getbinpkg affects dependency resolution 2023-12-29 08:52:36 AM @sam_ but supporting it to say i want a binpkg/not for a package overall is probably more doable 2023-12-29 08:54:55 AM +ztrawhcse possibly slot as well although I don't personally need slot support for this I would suspect that people only really have a use case for this at the cat/pkg level anyway, so limiting it to this is probably fine.
1. I always need to disable a binary package if I have a patch in `/etc/portage/patches/` for package. I would like this to happen automatically with a warning on emerge why this happened in addition to existing information. 2. Consider disabling the binary package via enabling use-flag somethign like `nobinpkg` then fetature binpkg-respect-use will work right now
I need to disable getbinpkg when updating sys-apps/portage itself, because the Gentoo binary package doesn't appear on my local mirrors until long after I need it.
I was thinking about how to cope with binary packages that are not yet available on the binhost as in bug 924772 comment #23, and a selectively disabled --getbinpkg is one way to cope (I typically add emerge --exclude arguments to cope in these situations).
In the context of bug 924772 comment 23 it's more useful to be able to force --getbinpkgonly for packages that we prefer not to build locally, in order to prevent unwanted source builds.

I think I know what issue you hit -- it's where the Packages index is *correct* for the mirror that bouncer.gentoo.org hits, but it's not necessarily correct when you go to fetch the file, i.e. there's no "per-session" consistency with the CDN. robin, eli, and I were discussing it in -portage earlier.
Yes, I was syncing to one server and using another one as mirror. Stupid, when you look at it.
