Re: [gentoo-dev] macos mess

[Pieter Van den Abeele]

Hi,

There are two types of Gentoo MacOS users: There is the user who wants 
to extend his Mac OS X system with packages that didn't came 
pre-installed (like tetex, kde, mysql, prolog, ,... ) Then there's the 
user who wants to use Gentoo to rebuild parts of his Mac OS X operating 
system (a new kernel, python with readline support, ...) or just build 
a Darwin system from scratch without the fancy Apple stuff.

Several devs work on making Gentoo MacOS work for both users. 
Everything happens in parallel.

Why does repoman/linux think the dependency graph for macos is broken? 
Developers that work for users of the first type, keyword packages 
against a virtual base system. The entire base system (all packages 
provided by apple) is injected into the depgraph and locked down by a 
profile. A user cannot upgrade or downgrade Apple provided stuff, 
unless the user really insists on doing so. Repoman on linux complains 
about broken macos depgraph because the macos base system obviously 
isn't injected into the depgraph under linux.

There are some ways to make repoman not complain about macos:


1. make repoman not do macos QA under linux

Since repoman doesn't complain about macos under macos (it must be 
broken or somehow take into account injected packages when doing 
--emptytree), I prefer this option. It's also the least amount of work.


2. make repoman macos aware

This requires new portage features. Adding another file to the 
profiles, I can think of at least 2 portage feature requests that 
require adding another file to the profiles, so this can't be a short 
term solution.
Opened a bug about persistent injected packages. (Also needed to make 
--emptytree work on macos, since --emptytree also removes the injected 
base system).


3. add empty ebuilds keyworded "-* macos" for everything that gets 
injected.

Requires 300 empty ebuilds to be added for each macos profile. This is 
a hack around a portage bug that prevents a package from being purely 
virtual. There needs to be at least an empty ebuild.
The problem with the workaround is that if a linux user uses the 
'ignore keywords' syntax: emerge ./macos.ebuild that will break their 
system.


4. change every ebuild that depends on the macos base system by making 
the base system dependencies conditional.

How many ebuilds depend on 300 ebuilds? How many dependencies need to 
be changed per ebuild? What about base system evolution?


Best regards,

Pieter Van den Abeele
