[Description Martin Bays 2004-10-02 12:53:43 UTC]

I got the following when emerging:

QA Notice: USE Flag 'macos' not in IUSE for net-dialup/mgetty-1.1.30-r2
QA Notice: USE Flag 'ppc-macos' not in IUSE for net-dialup/mgetty-1.1.30-r2

[Comment 1 Martin Bays 2004-10-02 13:03:58 UTC]

And a couple more now:

QA Notice: Security risk /usr/bin/ct. Please consider relinking with 'append-ldflags -Wl,-z,now' to fix.
QA Notice: Security risk /usr/lib/mgetty+sendfax/faxq-helper. Please consider relinking with 'append-ldflags -Wl,-z,now' to fix.

I've looked in ebuild file and found nothing about macos or ppc-macos flags.

When exactly did you got these lines: at compile or install? Could you paste a more detailed set of ebuild's output (10-20 lines around QA Notice warnings)?

comment #0:
enewuser, enewgroup and egetent in eutils.eclass:
"if useq macos || useq ppc-macos ;"

macos is not in profiles/arch.list.

This is a more general problem: every ebuild using enewuser/enewgroup will print this QA message.

[Comment 4 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) 2004-11-13 14:16:00 UTC]

eutils.class have been fixed. now it arch.list contains ppc-macos and eutils.class dumped any reference to macos.

comment #1: fixed in mgetty-1.1.30-r3.
