See, Grobian said that an all ~ppc-macos system may not have encountered
the bug, which could only mean that mediawiki was keyworded ~ppc-macos
even though its DEPEND was not complete enough to pull in all the required
deps from ~ppc-macos.
The problem is happening for real at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87758
there baselayout is necessary. However, baselayout is only pulled in
the initial "emerge system" if you use ACCEPT_KEYWORD="~ppc-macos".
Hence, I can't compile, because QTDIR is not set for me, while someone
having a complete ~ppc-macos system can. Portage won't pull the
dependency of baselayout for a reason I think, but the particular
problem sheds this light on the whole problem of how to test what on
which system.
I still think that I either shouldn't have been able to emerge QT or
that "emerge system" should provide the same base for {,~}ppc-macos,
since portage doesn't pull these packages because they are never
depended on.
I think you cannot sell a WONTFIX/REJECTED/INVALID to a user that
emerged unstable QT and doxygen on a stable profile. But people may
disagree with me here.
