2006/9/11, Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Today, I got a lot of rebuild requests from emerge after doing:
emerge -puDvt --newuse world
I spot checked a couple of builds, but nothing has changed! Can you help
decipher the following please:
Using the first application that shows up as an example:
[ebuild R ] sys-apps/diffutils-2.8.7-r1 USE="nls -static (-debug%)" 1,037
kB
What does (-debug%) mean? Here is the equery output:
[ Found these USE variables for sys-apps/diffutils-2.8.7-r1 ]
U I
- - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects
vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember
to set FEATURES=nostrip too
+ + nls : Adds Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale
utilities)
- - static : !!do not set this during bootstrap!! Causes binaries to be
statically linked instead of dynamically
Ideas? Is it because the -debug variable has been removed from somewhere?
Hi,
did you install portage-2.1.1 ?
Portage has now a new feature, it re-emerges a package when the IUSE
variable has changed :
* In portage-2.1.1, emerge --newuse is now sensitive to changes in IUSE.
* Immediately after upgrade from 2.1, users may notice a significantly larger
* number of packages pulled in by --newuse, but that behavior is normal.
* For additional information regarding this change, please see bugs #116955,
* #144333, #144661, and #146060.
Thx
HTH.
Boris.
