This was also reported in an update to bug #585796, in fact the
workaround for USE=doc was not needed anymore for some versions (and
ended up running install parts in src_compile).
Fixed in current 2.6.8 ebuild (as it did not install anyway with
USE=doc):

Exactly :)

Does package.use.mask (stable and ~arch) have a higher priority on
package.use.stable.mask (stable only)? Bug or intended behavior?
If I understand you correctly, then it's the intended behavior. If the
flag is masked in both package.use.mask and package.use.stable.mask,
then the package.use.stable.mask setting is irrelevant because both
package.use.mask and package.use.stable.mask are considered when
calculating use.mask settings for any given package.
I believe this is not correct. package.use.stable.mask should take
precedence within the same profile:
https://projects.gentoo.org/pms/6/pms.html#x1-58002r1
The problem here is rather that the base profile is processed as a
whole before the arch specific profile, so you end up with -flag from
the arch profile.
Putting flag in arch/{amd64,x86}/package.use.stable.mask should solve
it.
Indeed, I tested (and committed) this yesterday and repoman was happy
again

net-misc/qtnx & net-misc/nxcl (bug #537774 & #537778)
Both ebuilds fetch the same source code and my first though was we have
the same package under two different names. I might be wrong here as i
didn't looked into it. However since the last change was 03/2008 i'll
consider it dead and i think they should be removed.
Same source tarball, but different ${S} (and different build system) :)
nxcl was intended as a generic library, but only qtnx was built on top
of it
As for qtnx, it is the only open-source client in-tree for "old" NX
servers, and still does its job.
But if we drop packages according to last upstream release, most of the
"old" NX packages should be treecleaned too as they have dead upstreams
since 2011 (best case):
net-misc/neatx (server, 2010)
net-misc/nxcl (client lib, 2008)
net-misc/{nxclient-3*,nxnode,nxserver-freeedition} (proprietary, 2011)
net-misc/nxsadmin (server admin tool, 2008)
net-misc/nxserver-freenx (server, 2009)
net-misc/qtnx (client, 2008)
and
app-admin/eselect-nxserver (not used in x2go)
The active replacement (though not drop-in) is x2go for an open-source
setup, and NX 4 for proprietary (not in tree, bug #488334)

Are you sure there are no runtime dependencies at all?
Futhermore, does it really link against the upower libraries or
just
call it only at RDEPEND through dbus?
In any case, the deps are wrong.
Nice catch, also present in the previous bump! 2.40 used EAPI 3 so
it
had the implicit RDEPEND=${DEPEND}... Fixed in both 2.41 and 2.42
ebuilds
For upower this new version directly uses upower-glib, so it's a
build
dependency
I don't think it's legit to use the upower-glib library without
pkg-config. So I'm pretty sure you are missing build-time-only
dependency of virtual/pkgconfig then too.
Indeed:
% grep 'pkg-config.*upower'
/var/tmp/portage/x11-plugins/wmbattery-2.42/work/wmbattery/Makefile
LIBS+=$(shell pkg-config --libs upower-glib)
$(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(shell pkg-config --cflags
upower-glib) -c upower.c -o upower.o
Dependency added, thanks!
One more thing, why does it depend on sys-apps/apmd (which is part of
the old hotplug base that got replaced by acpi in 1995'ish) ?
It is really a hardcoded dependency after gained upower support? Seems
crazy, I don't think APM is used in any modern machines.
I don't think Linux kernel even supports APM since version 3.3.0
anymore
fully...
The original codebase was APM-only (it's a fork from wmapm), with
support for
optional additional sources (sonypi/HAL/ACPI/...). But the base is still
APM.
Making it optional would be a nice new upstream feature indeed :)

Upstream has changed the default layout for gnustep applications: standard FHS layout is now recommended (as opposed to our current prefix /usr/GNUstep). Switching to this layout has some advantages for us: staying close to upstream, standard paths, gnustep apps running fine without too many environment variables, ... However it does imply remerging all installed gnustep packages, hence this news item as an early warning to users.

nxserver-freeedition has one, however freenx only relies on ssh (connecting
as nx user will start up the "server").
Unless I add one for freenx that only does the user checking (so all NX
servers would include a init.d script).
Another solution would be to fix and update the setup scripts from the NX
servers themselves, but this is less portable...

Yes, as pointed out on IRC by zlin, this does not fix the problem at
all (and make it a little worse!).
Making it conditional on ROOT != / is a good workaround in the
meantime: not breaking anything in all cases, and as the problem only
appears if a different nxserver was installed before, it still works in
most cases. Thanks!

The problem is, enewuser can not be used to modify already existing user
accounts.This happens if another nxserver was installed before (which
uses the same account, but with different shell and home directory).
I'll fix ROOT handling in the meantime, this should be better:
usermod -s "${ROOT}"/usr/bin/nxserver nx
usermod -d "${ROOT}"{NX_HOME_DIR} nx

Yes, thanks for the suggestion, this looks perfect!
These lines originally had some ${GNUSTEP_...} variables in them, which
required expansion in the ebuild, hence the backquotes forest...
Now, however the only one here is ${P}, which will probably be left
alone in its own echo command. I'll look into that soon.
By the way, even if this probably won't be need in that case, what's
the policy on adding files for eclasses, as uberlord suggested? The
only subfolder in eclasses/ for now is ELT-patches, but maybe because
for now no eclass needed that feature

[gentoo-dev] RFC: new gnustep eclasses
Hello all, Fabian Groffen (grobian) and myself have been working on giving some love to GNUstep support in Gentoo, which you can track progress from the gnustep overlay: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnustep This has now turned in a massive rewrite of the gnustep eclasses and base packages, with the following objectives: * Cleaner and simpler eclasses (easier to read and maintain) and ebuilds (easier to write). This includes removing the need for most of the internal Gentoo/GNUstep variables defined in the current eclasses * Use the new gnustep-make-2 system (needed for new packages) * Less user environment pollution: no need to source a big script that tinkered with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and set a bunch of other variables * Easier user configuration (as in "emerge something and nothing more") * Lots of cleanups here and there (new virtual for gnustep-back, removal of useless global init scripts, fix sandbox issues for some ebuilds...) listed in the overlay web pages User feedback on the overlay is quite positive, so let's hear from -dev now! Latest version of the base eclass (sent with this mail) can be found at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnustep/browser/overlay/eclass/gnustep-base.eclass This one does most of the hard work, especially in egnustep_env which sets up an appropriate GNUstep compilation environment from the installed gnustep-make. Default functions are provided for: pkg_setup, src_compile, src_install, pkg_postinst (pkg_postinst points the users to shell scripts that need to be run once as user) Latest version of the gnustep-2 eclass can be found at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnustep/browser/overlay/eclass/gnustep-2.eclass This one mostly sets dependencies on a full GNUstep base system and is the one to include in a normal gnustep ebuild For the interested, many other changes lie in the gnustep-base packages in the overlay (most of the environment setting is now done by the gnustep-make ebuild) Feedback, comments, suggestions, other ideas are welcome! -- Bernard Cafarelli (Voyageur) NX and GNUstep Gentoo developer gnustep-2.eclass Description: Binary data gnustep-base.eclass Description: Binary data

Re: [gentoo-dev] *DEVELOPMENT* mail list, right?
While I was too young a developer when this thread first appeared, I now have a few things to report in this relaunch ;) On the NX servers side: * servers based on NX 2.1 code are now in portage, including the binary free edition from Nomachine (the NX developers), and freenx 0.6 * both of these servers now work on ~amd64 (multilib only though) * 2x terminal server and client are now in portage: GPL (even the NX client) and based on Nomachine's 1.5 code base * 6 (old) packages were removed from the tree, replaced by net-misc/nx * NX overlay provides a native 64-bit nx/freenx for the adventurous * bugzilla NX bugs count is down to 3 :) With fellow dev grobian, I've also started to get GNUstep in Gentoo back in shape (i.e clean, easy to use, up to date, ...). You can check the progress in the new gnustep overlay: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnustep/wiki Improvements include: * support for new gnustep-make 2.0 * heavy rewrite of the gnustep eclasses and base ebuilds * less polluting of the user profile (no more need to source exernal scripts that tinker with the linker path) * easier-to-write ebuilds * version bumps everywhere (and a few new packages, as a promising-looking cairo backend) * under-the-hood fixes and enhancements here and there -- Voyageur NX and GNUstep Gentoo developer -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
