While apache has removed it from their mirrors (they seem to only have the latest release right now? 1.14.4, not sure if it's typical of what they usually do), this doesn't matter given Gentoo's mirrors still have it. And if it's not fetching it, that implies that your GENTOO_MIRRORS configuration in /etc/portage/make.conf likely need to be updated (maybe you only have a old broken mirror in there).

It's not, docutils only ships rst2html.py and it's the normal name to
use ("some" distros rename it or make a symlink, but Gentoo only use
the upstream intended name, you wouldn't get a rst2html if you
installed it with e.g. pip too).
Because of these distros, mpv tries rst2html then rst2html.py if it's
not found.
Error is confusing, thing is that rst2html was found, but the "not found"
error was about the python interpreter (as noted in another mail). Long
story short, it'd be fine if this broken /usr/bin/rst2html simply didn't
exist, no need for a symlink or anything like that.

There is[1] (since 2007), but it never went anywhere. > Are the properties common for package, aren’t they? Usually anyway. For what it's worth, among what I maintain, there is one package (nvidia-drivers) where the 0/vulkan slot (525.47.x) has a different HOMEPAGE pointing to the vulkan page. Not that "most" tools really consider differences for these when displaying so it's mostly useful for someone opening the ebuild and wanting something to click. Having these readily viewable in the ebuild rather than buried in the metadata is often an argument to keep these, i.e. without description can't even see what the package is about if only looking at the ebuild.

Maybe it's terminology confusion? CBUILD just means the machine from which the package is being handled, not necessarily just "built". Like amd64 builds the package, then installs it to /usr/aarch64-pc-linux-gnu. That ROOT directory can either be used by qemu, copied to a real aarch64 system, or used to make binpkgs. > Is «cross emerge» cross building?

Why CBUILD is mentioned above, instead? If cross-building to a different ROOT, e.g. amd64 CBUILD to a aarch64 CHOST, then amd64 will need deps to run pkg_postinst from its arch (which IDEPEND will provide). Of course, aarch64 will /also/ need these deps so it can emerge or unmerge a binpkg, also provided by IDEPEND. Before EAPI8 the best you could do to represent this was to have the dependency in both RDEPEND and BDEPEND, but this lack a use-case where you cross-emerge a binpkg given it won't pull BDEPEND (not building) and then RDEPEND is for the wrong arch. -- ionen signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I've had a poorer experience with symlinking the python module (not fully compatible). I considered having the ebuild do it but ultimately skipped that.

Almost all ebuilds using ./configure support reading EXTRA_ECONF to pass additional arguments (done automatically through econf wrapper). e.g. EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-inews" could be added through package.env[1] Can similarly be done for meson and cmake with MYMESONARGS and MYCMAKEARGS if the ebuild is using the meson/cmake eclass. ebuilds with custom systems may sometime use EXTRA_ECONF anyway or some other custom variable (e.g. EXTRA_FFMPEG_CONF), usually seen in the ebuild itself.

Here it's trying to 2.5.0 while it's half uninstalled and unsurprisingly fail. Have a look at "eselect ruby list" and set a version that's actually in RUBY_TARGETS With profile's default that'd be "eselect ruby set ruby26" or 30 if that's what you're using now. -- ionen signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I've had fewer random portage complaints that > way. Messing with eselect python may not be relevant for much longer. 'python-exec-conf' package was added in ~testing that generates an appropriate python-exec.conf This prevents a python that's not in TARGETS from automatically being default, and old deprecated implementations from staying (assuming run etc-update anyway, like for anything else). So most people will probably depclean eselect-python as it's not really needed unless you have some preference (like pypy3). -- ionen signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Should I manually edit > /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf and remove "python3.6"? It'd be fine but the proper way would be: eselect python cleanup Hopefully this may no longer be needed in the future given a new setup is being prepared in ~testing, but for now just cleanup :) -- ionen signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Is > there something comparable with Lua? The point of slotted lua is to be able to have many at once. There's packages that only support 5-1, and others only 5-3 (like darktable), so pick 1 or many based on what you need/use. lua5-1 still has the most compatibility so it makes sense as default for now. lua5-4 is on the opposite end with too little support. Not fond of luajit, it feels kind of like a old hack to me while normal lua been moving forward. Personally use lua5-3 where possible, and fall back on the next lower version if needed. -- ionen signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It was for incomplete PCI passthrough support, removed in 6.1.x: From changelog: "Linux host: Drop PCI passthrough, the current code is too incomplete (cannot handle PCIe devices at all), i.e. not useful enough" So being gone is normal. -- ionen signature.asc Description: PGP signature
