Okay. |
| 2 |
Tcp wrappers ( USE="tcpd" ) is currently a major headache both QA wise |
| 3 |
and otherwise due to how most, if not all, autoconf scripts are |
| 4 |
completely broken with regards to them. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
There exists no real way to disable tcp-wrappers, and that causes all |
| 7 |
packages that have a tcpd? () dependency and USE="-tcpd" to |
| 8 |
completely break when built on a system with tcp-wrappers installed. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
This is important for GRP sets and deptracking. one solution is to |
| 11 |
hardcode the dependency for tcp-wrappers, as there isn't a reliable way |
| 12 |
to disable it. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Other is to neglect this and hope it won't mention, then blame the |
| 15 |
users/GRP sets as you have broken users systems and gnome, ssh, imap and |
| 16 |
other things fail to startup. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Third and most desirable is to actually solve this. Either by fixing |
| 20 |
autoconf scripts, or by doing ugly post-conf patching, but I don't have |
| 21 |
the time to fix this myself, which means that I'm putting out a public |
| 22 |
plea for some assistance. |
| 23 |

|
| 25 |
Anyone who feel like digging into the mess that is auto* can you please |
| 26 |
holler or dig in? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Targetted ebuilds are any that have tcp-wrappers in their DEPEND |
| 29 |
strings. :-) |
