[gentoo-dev] sqlite/sqlite3 useflag inconsistency

[gentoo-dev] sqlite/sqlite3 useflag inconsistency

[Benedikt Morbach]

Hi out there,

as I was told on bugzilla, I am taking this here.

I do not know if this was proposed earlier, but I noticed, that
USE="sqlite" seems to just pull in any dev-db/sqlite, which in many
cases does not really mean any, like
DEPEND="sqlite? dev-db/sqlite"
would do, but something like
DEPEND="sqlite? ( >=dev-db/sqlite-3 )" ## from app-portage/eix/eix-0.10.3.ebuild

While sqlite3 pulls in dev-db/sqlite-3* (At least it should, I have
not really checked that one)

In my humble opinion it would be nice to have a greater degree of
control by separating this into two useflags, sqlite2 and sqlite3,
just like e.g. qt3 and qt4

Regards,
Benedikt

Probably. Even better would be to get rid of sqlite2 but that probably 
doesn't happen any time soon.

I understood this will be the case, so I removed sqlite2 support from 
mail-filter/dspam even though it could support both versions.

If a program supports both then go with sqlite3. The things is that 
there are sqlite2 only things left. I don't have much interest in sqlite2.

If a program supports only sqlite2, shouldn't "sqlite? (
=dev-db/sqlite-2* )" be used as dependency atom?

Yeah. Depending on both slots doesn't work for binary packages for 
example because the SONAME is different.

For anyone interested: I dropped sqlite2 from the new qt-4.4 currently masked in
portage.  I also made it so that the sqlite flag just turns on sqlite3, per the
conversation we've previously had about this.
