Bug 674834 – sys-apps/man-db keywording on BSD

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Gilbert 2019-01-07 23:23:31 UTC]

sys-apps/man is masked for removal. Please keyword sys-apps/man-db to replace it.

> sys-apps/man is masked for removal.

I've reverted the mask for now since amd64-fbsd has a "stable" profile. I will mask again once man-db has keywords.

Could you please help me a bit and include complete list of dependencies?

[Comment 3 Michał Górny 2019-01-09 14:12:19 UTC]

Oh, well, nevermind, that won't make much of a difference either.  I'll need to fight repoman myself here.

Gone as far as I could, po4a is blocked by #675002.

An automated check of this bug failed - repoman reported dependency errors: 

> dependency.bad sys-apps/man-db/man-db-2.8.5.ebuild: DEPEND: ~amd64-fbsd(default/bsd/fbsd/amd64/11.1) ['>=app-text/po4a-0.45']

If this is not resolved within 30 days, I would propose we drop the stable profile for amd64-fbsd. Nobody can actually test on that platform, and the project consisted of exactly one active developer.

Infra has a VM running, you are free to ask for access.

[Comment 8 Mike Gilbert 2019-01-17 01:44:02 UTC]

I made an attempt to troubleshoot the issue with po4a on the VM. I spent a few hours on it, and I'm not inclined to invest any more effort.

I see 3 paths forward:

1. Ignore the test failures and keyword the necessary packages.

2. Fix the test failures in po4a.

3. If neither of the above occurs withing the next 30 days, I will demote amd64-fbsd to experimental.

*-fbsd is gone.
