I usually go for tempory fixes to see if something works before spending
time finding out the correct solution (I guess that's a result of me
being incredibly lazy, but it's also just easier when you're
investigating something).
I guessed that you might have to use /etc/portage/profile/use.unmask (by
analogy with package.{,un}mask, but apparently the correct thing to do
is to put -win32codecs in /etc/portage/profile/use.mask

FWIW, if you haven't worked this out yet :) USE flag masking is controlled by use.mask, which is a standard stackable profile file; as with package.mask, the masked USE flags are generated by combining use.mask from all the directories in the profile stack; but unlike package.mask, which is counteracted by package.unmask, the way to re-enable USE flags is to delete them from the use.mask profile stack by entering them in a later-processed use.mask file with a "-" before. So, what you would do in this case is: echo "-win32codecs" >> /etc/portage/profile/use.mask (make sure /etc/portage/profile exists, yada yada.) Again: the - at the beginning of the line instructs portage to *remove* "win32codecs" from the list of masked USE flags generated by merging the use.mask profile stack. Compare e.g. /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/use.mask. HTH, Ed -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If I were in that situation I'd just edit /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.mask and see if win32codecs will work on that profile, and if they did they I'd try and figure out how to do it properly.

But the use.mask-- even the correct one-- still does not lead to an explanation or documentation of what the mask of a USE flag actually means or what it means in this particular case (why this specific USE flag is masked under this specific profile), in such a way that one would know if it was something one had to learn to live with (definitively unresolveable), or was in some way "unmaskable".

(top posting because I can't be bothered to sort all the irrelevant stuff you posted) The person in question is using /usr/portage/profiles/uclibc/x86 If you look in /usr/portage/profiles/uclibc/x86/parent you'll see that t's parent profile is /usr/portage/profiles/uclibc/. If you look in /usr/portage/profiles/uclibc/parent you'll see that it's profile is /usr/portage/profiles/base. Now, look in /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.mask That's the reason the win32codecs useflag is masked on this profile, as I explained in an earlier email.

What I would now be interested in, if this concerned me, is why this particular USE flag is "simply NOT allowed" under this extremely specialized profile, but I have no idea where I would find that information (except maybe b.g.o, or the gentoo docs related to either uclibc, hardened/selinux, masked packages, or all of the above).

What does which profile it is have to do with the mask? /etc/portage/package.unmask unmasks hard-masked applications on the profile you are using-- the profile supercedes all later adjustment files, insofar as all later adjustment files (/etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/whatever) all refer to the profile defaults to know what to adjust. Obviously -- or at least it seems obvious to me, but that doesn't say much-- that if the package is hard-masked, the USE flag that is associated with it will be disabled (because the package the USE flag would call is unavailable). So if the package became available (was unmasked), then I would assume that the USE flag would be enabled, and one could just USE it normally (via /etc/portage/package.use, or /etc/make.conf). > > There's probably an equivalent for them (/etc/portage/profile/use.unmask > at a guess). I suspect that it's masked for a reason though.. Yes, hard masking is always for a reason-- and the fact that you have to go through several steps to install a hard-masked package is, I suspect, for a reason as well. Hard masking means that there are serious problems with the package (under certain conditions, if the package is only hard-masked under certain arches or profiles), and unmasking it via several steps should drive home that you're doing something that you should consider carefully before proceeding with. Hard masking also suggests that testers are needed to nail down the problem, so that the packages can be unmasked-- so by unmasking it, you are tacitly agreeing to be such a tester, and to contribute to b.g.o on the subject after all, if the package has serious problems, you're going to have to deal with them anyway, so you might as well report what you find. If you don't want to have anything to do with such a difficult package, then you shouldn't expend the effort to unmask it... that's why it's masked, so that those who don't want problems never see it at all.
