Hi everyone |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm building an embedded gentoo image for an ALIX-System [1], which |
| 4 |
should base on uclibc, busybox, baselayout-2 and openrc. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have my own profile which inherits and strips down the official 2008.0 |
| 7 |
gentoo profile to a bare minimum. This works all fine so far. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
However if I perform an emerge world: |
| 10 |
PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT=[...] ROOT=[...] emerge world -vp |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Portage wants to merge: |
| 13 |
virtual/editor-0 |
| 14 |
app-editors/nano |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
virtual/pager-0 |
| 17 |
sys-apps/less |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I have enabled less and vi in my busybox, therefore I don't want to |
| 20 |
install an "external" pager and editor. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Both virtual ebuilds (virtual/editor and virtual/pager) don't list |
| 23 |
"sys-apps/busybox" as a possible RDEPEND. This is understandable, as |
| 24 |
busybox can be compiled with or without a pager/editor. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The problem could be circumvented by adding new local use flags to the |
| 27 |
busybox ebuild, for instance 'editor', 'pager' 'dev-manager' etc. (which |
| 28 |
could also be used to enable/disable those features if no "savedconfig" |
| 29 |
was found). |
| 30 |
Then the RDEPEND of the virtual/pager ebuild and co. have to be extended |
| 31 |
with use dependencies, for example pager-0.ebuild: |
| 32 |
RDEPEND="|| ( sys-apps/less |
| 33 |
sys-apps/more |
| 34 |
sys-apps/most |
| 35 |
sys-apps/util-linux |
| 36 |
app-text/lv |
| 37 |
sys-apps/busybox[pager] )" |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Of course this requires EAPI-2... |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
What do you think? |
| 43 |
