[gentoo-dev] [RFC] adding more entries to profiles/info_pkgs

Hi,

while lurking on bugzilla lately I noticed that package part of 
"emerge --info" output may be lacking in some cases.

Good candidates for adding to that file are:

virtual/rust
llvm ?
dev-util/meson
dev-util/ninja

that should be enough to provide a bit more to initial information without 
going crazy and clobbering output too much.

Thoughts?

I'm really not sure these are widespread enough to justify putting
those details in the ouput of every emerge --info.

Instead, it seems to make more sense to have them displayed via the
pkg_info() function[1], which can be provided by eclasses where need be.

They all are not way too much spread, especially rust.

Do not think it worth to include them.

meson can be reconsidered later, as more and more people are using this one.

meson and ninja come in pair, and:
systemd already depends on both
openrc wants to switch to meson.
many xorg parts depend on meson
mesa & co depends on meson
cmake-utils.eclass defaults to ninja as default makefile generator for EAPI=7

those are damn  good reasons for inclusion, those tools becoming essential.
and it's only couple of lines of text, not a big deal.
and the lines are not shown if package in question is not installed.

having rust in output of initial  --info also can be quite handy as recent 
cargo/rust issue showed but yeah, pkg_info probably could deal with that for 
now at least. not a very popular ebuild function, never knew it existed. 
Thanks  Kent for pointing it out.

At least for the tinderbox image issues I was asked by devs in the past to include bits for the following software in #comment0:

  cat << EOF >> $issuedir/issue
gcc-config -l:
$(gcc-config -l                   )
$( [[ -x /usr/bin/llvm-config ]] && echo llvm-config: && llvm-config --version )
$(eselect python  list 2>/dev/null)
$(eselect ruby    list 2>/dev/null)
$(eselect rust    list 2>/dev/null)
$( [[ -x /usr/bin/java-config ]] && echo java-config: && java-config --list-available-vms --nocolor )
$(eselect java-vm list 2>/dev/null)

...

Actually after conversation with you on some rust related bug It occurred to 
me that there should be a more central location for similar info, so every 
reported bug that has --info output can show it right away, not only tinderbox 
bugs.
