[gentoo-user] Portage 2.1 weirdness

[Kristian Poul Herkild]

Hmm... after having updated to portage 2.1 which has become stable, I
get this weird output from emerge and revdep-rebuild:

OUTPUT from emerge --pretend --update --deep --newuse world

All prepared. Starting rebuild...
emerge --oneshot --pretend =sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r1 =sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Recompiling that much (especially OpenOffice) just because of an update
to Portage seems quite excessive to me.

As I understand it (I'm sure this has been covered in GWN, forums,
etc.) USE flags which had been set  automatically by certain packages
are no longer valid universally.  Therefore, either add those USE
flags missing (e.g. ldap & mozilla for OOo) in your /etc/make.conf, or
if you only want them for a particular package add them in
/etc/portage/package.use.

Well, I noticed that when I ran revdep-rebuild -p mine wanted to
reemerge gcc too, so I let it.  Then I went back and ran revdep-rebuild
again and it still wants to reemerge gcc.  I did the next thing I could
think of and did a emerge -e system.  When I ran revdep-rebuild -p again
afterwards, it wanted to reemerge gcc again.

Same as the OP, why does it want to go in circles reemerging gcc??  :-/

Lucky bastard. At least you can compile GCC.

Thank you :)

That explains it.
'ldap' and 'mozilla' added to make.conf.

I wonder why I didn't have them there already. Oh well.. fire up nano!

I'm sure (I'ld like to be sure) that this change is documented 
somewhere, but I can't find where.
I need documentation because I'm an advanced user of some packages 
(f.i., tetex), but a naive user of other ones (f.i., xine). So I 
can't understand why and how I should re-emerge xine because of:

[ebuild   R   ] media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r5  USE="X ncurses nls 
readline -aalib -curl* -libcaca -lirc -vdr -xinerama" 0 kB

Any hints?

Thanks
Sergio

Hi,
This is because of a new USE-flag "-curl*" which previously was ON.
Means you'll have to reemerge "xine-ui" or enable 'curl' for xine-ui in
package.use.

Or add curl in your /etc/make.conf to apply it across all packages, or add:

USE_ORDER="env:pkg:conf:auto:defaults"

to restore portage to its previous version behaviour;  i.e. automatic
flags being imposed by emerged new packages across the piece.

Look at the first section at the GWN from the 16. of January [1]. Also this 
(autouse) has recently been added to the release notes of portage 2.1 [2]
(they forgot until now).

Thanks! I didn't subscribe to the GWN. My fault ;-)

Try without the --newuse flag.
