[gentoo-user] How to fake USE flag change

[Nikos Chantziaras]

emerge -auDN world
[ebuild   R   ] app-office/openoffice-3.1.0  LINGUAS="-sv%"

This is ridiculous.  I'm in no mood emerging Open Office just because a 
LINGUAS changed which I don't even use.  Something I can do about it 
other than waiting one and a half hours for a totally useless re-emerge?

Mask it.

I suppose there's no way to get rid of this when I mask it?

!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- app-office/openoffice-3.1.0 (masked by: package.mask)
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Wait a second, one and half hours?! Go get lunch with some friends, come
back and it will be done. OO.o would take about 2+ days on my machine.

Well, OK, 2 days is a bit extreme (and I'm not even using some 
super-fast machine here; I have a - by now - old Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU), 
but regardless of how much time it needs, a change of a LINGUAS flag I 
don't even use should probably not trigger a rebuild anyway.  So other 
than masking, there should be a way to trick portage into thinking the 
already installed package has "sv" removed.

You're right, it shouldn't. Things like that happen to me all the time,
I'll already have a use flag disabled, and it will get turned off by
default, and portage will want to rebuild it.

You could make a local overlay with that LINGUAS flag not set, but it
seems a bit much. I'd like to know a solution to this too.

I used the '--reinstall changed-use' flag rather than '--newuse', as
documented in 'man emerge'.

Thanks.  I somehow missed this one.

Now to the funny part: I'll need to rebuild OO.o anyway because of an 
update to media-gfx/exiv2.  lol :P

It's a fairly new addition.

Before it came along, I used to edit the IUSE or file
in /var/db/pkg/cat/pkg-ver - a hack but it worked.

Portage is like the taxman, it always gets you one way or another ;-)

Set linguas for this version of OO in
/etc/portage/package.use
?

Why?  I have them in make.conf.

So this particular version of OO will use old linguas and will not 
recompile. And if new version arrives it will be compiled with new LINGUAS.

Please, if your going to set the LINGUAS value dont use package.use :)
If you have to then use make.conf, although the best solution is to set it
in /etc/env.d, a quick search of the forums will give you some good examples
if your not sure.
