[gentoo-user] SQLITE tcl useflag - what for?

[Rodrigo Lazo]

Hi everybody,

I was emerging sqlite when I found this:

mash jpc # emerge -pv sqlite

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

[ebuild  N    ] dev-lang/tcl-8.4.9  USE="-threads" 0 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] dev-db/sqlite-3.3.5-r1  USE="doc -debug -nothreadsafe -tcl" 0 kB 

Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 0 kB


but, ey! the tcl useflag is not set... so I try it with the useflag set I found this:


mash jpc # USE="tcl" emerge -pv sqlite

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

[ebuild  N    ] dev-lang/tcl-8.4.9  USE="-threads" 0 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] dev-db/sqlite-3.3.5-r1  USE="doc tcl -debug -nothreadsafe" 0 kB 

Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 0 kB

No matter if I set the flag or not... I always get the tcl dependency...

Any idea?

Thanks

If doc is enabled tcl is mandatory (the dep). If doc is not set tcl is 
optional depending on the tcl use flag. You can see this yourself if you look 
in the ebuild.

Thanks a lot! next time I'll see the ebuild first and ask later :)
