Bug 556514 – app-portage/gentoolkit: euse can't source files from make.conf directory

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description hexum 2015-08-02 16:41:50 UTC]

After convertion make.conf file to a directory euse doesn't source files from it but just tries source dirrectory as file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. convert make.conf to dirrectory (create directory /etc/portage/make.conf and move old make.conf to it)
2. start euse
Actual Results:  
/usr/bin/euse: line 286: source: /etc/portage/make.conf: is a directory

Please attach your make.conf file and show emerge --info output

make.conf

I've placed this file by this file and portage works fine.
/etc/portage/make.conf/conf

emerge --info > emerge.info

I'm not sure how quickly, I'll be able to fix this. The euse code was written with the assumption the make.conf would always be a file. It's going to take some time to go through the code to fix that assumption and making sure that it doesn't break something else.

Here it is 2021-07-18 and gentoolkit/euse sttill cannot simply source the contents of /etc/portage/make.conf/* to detect what USE flags are present.

I'd like to bump this up in priority and make an RFE
