[gentoo-dev] USE_EXPAND additions

[gentoo-dev] USE_EXPAND additions

[Jason Stubbs]

Add FEATURES, ARCH, USERLAND to USE_EXPAND
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82513

FRITZCAPI_CARDS in USE_EXPAND is needed for newer fritzcapi versions
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84422


There's bound to be more of these come up, but unlikely to be many more 
versions in the portage 2.0.51 series. Thinking about it, these don't really 
belong in portage's domain anyway. The latter should be freely available for 
anybody to do. The former really needs discussion between QA and the arch 
teams (and portage by extension of that discussion - fex multilib).

Anyway, any objections against moving the current USE_EXPAND out of 
make.globals and into base's make.defaults? Those using <=2.0.50* won't get 
any additions (how it is now anyway) and anybody using a stacked profile 
(which requires >=2.0.51) will get whatever is in make.globals overwritten 
with whatever is in make.defaults.

Sounds like a great idea. Power to the people!

Sounds good to me. Waiting on new portage releases for stuff we want to
use in ebuilds kinda sucks, so (up to a point) the more we can move into
profiles the better, as far as I'm concerned.

Just to be specific on this, the corner case is users still using a flat 
profile that upgrade to 2.0.51.20. Those users won't have USE_EXPAND active 
_at all_. The flat profile cannot be fixed for this because of a bug in 
2.0.50 that'll make it traceback on any operation.

If this actually scared anybody (that received it), my apologies. I was 
confused about bugs. Fixing the flat profiles will be problem either. The bug 
is that 2.0.50 will die if two profiles in a cascade define the same 
variable.

Which should be fine, because no-one is even going to *think* about
wanting sub-profile-specific USE_EXPAND. Right?

USE_EXPAND is not an incremental.

The only other settings that directly relate to ebuilds and currently live in 
make.globals are CONFIG_PROTECT and CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK. These should also be 
moved into the tree. Any objections?

Indeed (despite what Nick has said to the contrary). Nor should it be --
down that path lies insanity, and not the good kind.

Only so long as you stick a big fat "# DO NOT MODIFY THESE WITHOUT
DISCUSSION ON -dev" on them.

Then make sure that users that have this situation can not install the new 
portage. pkg_setup is not beautifull, but in this case it's probably best.

Or just depend on the appropriate portage version instead of sticking 
a die in pkg_setup...

I'm not sure I get you. There's no requirement for using a new portage that I 
can see as the flat profiles can have USE_ORDER added to them as well.
