Back then, portage complained.  It's been awhile ago and I didn't write 
it down, but I seem to remember something about double inclusion.  
However, it's quite possible that was my diagnosis, not portage's 
complaint.  I just returned to /etc/make.conf, because with both that 
and /etc/portage/make.conf portage had problems, and with /etc/portage/
make.conf only, something else didn't work.

But as I said that was way back when I first read about it, probably in 
the changelog on my first update after it hit a release, so I'd guess 
it's looonngg fixed by now.  Now that you've confirmed it works for you 
now, I'll play around with things a bit and file bugs if I see 'em.

As always, thanks. =:^)

(Now back to that kernel 3.6-git bug I just finished bisecting and was 
about to file upstream... workqueue merge, commit 63d95a91, crashing in 
schedule/core.c on line 1654, FWIW.)

I'd suggest not a USE flag, at least, not at present, it would
needlessly require all ebuilds to have that useflag, which would be a
significant noise to users.

I'd rather a documented( in the eclass ) ENV variable that could
toggle this behaviour that was /not/ a use-flag, so only people who
cared about that sort of behaviour could adjust it.

Then the question is only really as to what a "Sane default" is. Seems
the sane default is to install packlists, but have it being
disable-able by ENV change for the people who have the tuits to know
"I'll never need those, and if I do, I can handle the need to rebuild
everything with them".

Additionally, it /might/ be nice if we could have a 3rd party ( Gentoo
) tool that reads a dists CONTENTS file and re-creates packlist files
when needed, but thats more work than the above at present. =)

Not 'mention' the proposal *is a profiles modification* in entirety, 
nothing else.

Reorganizing the questions into user configuration (aka, the PM 
authors choice of what they want to do in /etc/portage/profiles), and 
PMS profiles (aka, what can be done in gentoo-x86).

user config first:

> ??  Would user's package.* and general make.conf settings remain the same?

That's the PM's decision.  Knowing portage source, I'd expect it'll 
wind up enabling that in parallel to the existing for it's user 
configuration.


> ??  What about user's existing /etc/portage/profile overrides, if any?

Same response; that's the PMs decision.  What Zac does, is what Zac 
does.

Actual PMS profiles question:

> migration was handled?

Profile nodes are EAPI versioned; what I want, is effectively >=EAPI-5 
(or 6 if people get cranky about minor mods), is this to be the 
default in new EAPI profile nodes.

Meaning if someone uses a EAPI5 profile node in gentoo-x86, they don't 
use package.use.mask, they use the syntax I mentioned, and do it 
within use.mask.

There will not be maintaining in parallel; there isn't a point.


Basically, this is a ~70 file reduction of profiles; 253 -> 184 
roughly.  Aside from less general IO (not much, but some), it also 
kills of the question for devs as to which comes first; use.mask or 
package.use.mask.  Ordering of the file would rule in the new scheme.

Frankly if we wanted to, we could push this further; use.force and 
use.mask basically operate in a ternary space: -1, 0, +1; meaning 
"Forced off", "configurable", and "enforced on"; respecitively such a 
syntax would be -use, use, +use.

Thus the following:
use.mask:
blah
-monkeys # Note this is a negation of the parents masking of 'monkeys'
-foon # Negation of the parents masking

package.use.mask:
dev-util/bsdiff foon

use.force:
x
-y # negation of the parents forcing
monkeys  # Note we're explicitly forcing monkeys on after reversing 
# masking

package.use.force
dev-util/diffball strip

that translates out to basically thus:

use.enforced:
# This globally disables 'blah', globally forces 'monkeys',
# and resets 'foon' back to user controllable.
* -blah +monkeys foon
# Disable blah for dev-util/bsdiff.
dev-util/bsdiff -foon
# Force strip for dev-util/diffball.
dev-util/diffball +strip


The benefit of such an aproach is that
1) I'd argue it's easier on the dev for processing it- just proceed 
top down, for the pkg in question considering if each leading 
restriction (* or the atom) matches, then applying the resultant 
settings.

2) This actually is basically what the PM does now, although it does 
so via grabbing the content from multiple files.


In terms of performance gain, couldn't say frankly; pkgcore already 
does a variant of this, re-rendering each cat/pkg restriction set so 
as to avoid having to do the resolution multiple times (this helps 
repoman/pcheck speed for example).

That said I'm not sure if folks would go for the ternary usage there.  
Where that scheme to be applied to our profiles, it'd knock the inode 
count for these files down to 127.  Not the driving reason for it, but 
a nice benefit.

[gentoo-dev] app-emulation/qemu & app-emulation/qemu-kvm folding into one package

2012-09-09 Thread Doug Goldstein
Hey all,

Just an announcement that app-emulation/qemu-kvm will be pkgmove'd to
app-emulation/qemu at some point this week. The app-emulation/qemu
ebuilds will effectively die and be replaced by the
app-emulation/qemu-kvm ebuilds. I've brought this up before and there
was a bunch of rabble about "keep our pristine qemu ebuilds!!!". The
fact of the matter is that the app-emulation/qemu just isn't getting
the same maintenance care that app-emulation/qemu-kvm is. I've really
only got the bandwidth to handle one at a time. Additionally this will
bring us inline with a few other distros use of qemu as they're really
building their binaries from qemu-kvm.

For those that want pure qemu builds, I recommend creating an overlay
and replacing the URL. The ebuilds will otherwise aim to be 100%
compatible.

You mention doing this for the profile.

??  Would user's package.* and general make.conf settings remain the same?

??  What about user's existing /etc/portage/profile overrides, if any?

??  Are you proposing the change be only for new profiles, eventually 
deprecating the old ones, thus having the PMs (and devs maintaining 
profiles) support both methods for awhile much as the cascading profiles 
migration was handled?  By definition, at least user's current /etc/
portage/profile/ settings are in the current format, so if you continue 
to support that, you'll in effect continue to support the old profile 
format, and (from the PM viewpoint) migration might as well be via new 
profiles and current profile deprecation, but that will force profile 
maintainers to maintain both for whatever period.

??  And if they change, are you proposing a script that a user can run to 
automate the process, or simply a news item pointing to the appropriate 
gentoo profile upgrade documentation page, or ??


In general, the idea seems like an eventual efficiency gain and I'm not 
opposed, but I do wonder if the gain is actually going to be worth it in 
practice, given the above.  Still, I'm not opposed, but I tend to be 
rather more leading edge and less opposed to change than most users in 
any case, and I'd guess a significant number of both users and devs that 
will be trying to support them (and both sets of profiles if the profile 
deprecation and upgrade migration method is chosen), will have rather 
stronger ideas about the practical cost/benefit ratio of such a change.

Zac,

To your knowlege (IOW have you tested) having /etc/make.conf either a 
symlink to /etc/portage/make.conf or a simple one-line
"source /etc/portage/make.conf"?

Back when I first became aware of the movement toward
/etc/portage/make.conf, I'd guess in late 2010 or early 2011 given your 
dates, I tried both setting only /etc/portage/make.conf, which failed due 
to some third party utility (which I'd hope has been fixed now but I've 
not tested it), and making /etc/make.conf a simple symlink/source, which 
caused portage some indigestion.

So I'm wondering if the latter problem's now (tested) fixed, and people 
can use the new location but still put either a compatibility symlink or 
source at the old location to keep old scripts and the like working, 
without portage suffering the indigestion at the prospect that it did at 
least way back then.

If you haven't tested it and want me to, then file a bug if necessary, 
just say so, but it'd be nice to know whether you believe it to be 
working now, before I go try it again.

[gentoo-dev] unifying use.mask/package.use.mask, use.force, package.use.force, etc

2012-09-09 Thread Brian Harring
Hola folks.

Currently, our if you needed to mask the use flag introspection 
globally, but allow it to be used for say app-crypt/gcr, the profile 
configuration would be the following:

use.mask:
introspection

package.use.mask:
app-crypt/gcr -introspection

Frankly, this is a bit of a pain in the ass- it creates a shiteton of 
intermediate files, and it requires the dev to recall "use.mask before 
package.use.mask" among other things.

I'd suggest instead just killing off the package.* content, and 
folding them into use.*; the proceeding content would thus be:

use.mask:
* introspection
app-cryt/gcr -introspection

Mind you, this isn't a new notion; actually pretty damn old 
(been in user configuration in one form or another for a long 
time).  For whatever reason, it's yet to be proposed/pushed for in 
PMS, thus bringing it up now.

Any major complaints?  Specifically, collapsing:
package.use.mask, use.mask -> use.mask
package.use.force, use.force -> use.force
package.use.stable.mask, use.stable.mask -> use.stable.mask
package.use.stable.force, use.stable.force -> use.stable.force

It's been supported in stable portage since portage-2.1.9.24 stabilized
in November/December 2010:

So the news item was a bit ambiguous on if I wanted to make the change
myself to the new locations when I could actually make the change.
Current portage supports it? Or is their a new version coming which I
would need?

I'd be specific on the date as I could read that news item after this
actually happens but be under the impression that it hasn't happened yet.

You are probably right. Even though I believe that we should treat
'older slot' support only as an interim solution before people fix
their packages...

Older versions must be supported to easily handle the situation when Boost 1.49 
is stable and
Boost 1.50 and 1.51 are unstable and not package.masked and package X has only 
stable ebuilds
and all of them currently fail to build/work with Boost >=1.51, so 
BOOST_MAX_VERSION="1.50" would
have to be used in all ebuilds of package X.
(Boost 1.49 would be used for stable users and Boost 1.50 would be used for 
unstable users.)

No, we don't support older versions. The eclassdoc says it all.
