I'm currently trying to upgrade the patch to the latest shadow svn head. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I'm having a problem that I might have to post on gentoo bugs, but I'd |
| 32 |
like to post it here to make sure I'm not overlooking anything. I |
| 33 |
started a new cross-build of armv4l-softfloat-linux-gnueabi with |
| 34 |
crossdev. After installing the toolchain, using emerge-wrapper --init, |
| 35 |
modifying make.conf, etc..., all emerges with |
| 36 |
ROOT=/usr/armv4l-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/ in the environment cause |
| 37 |
portage to use the --quiet flag. I don't have the flag in |
| 38 |
PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS. I've tried deleting /var/cache/edb and |
| 39 |
${ROOT}var/cache/edb, to no avail. I can't use FEATURES="python-trace" |
| 40 |
to debug because the --quiet flag seems to override it. All thats |
| 41 |
visible is "myopts {'--quiet': True, '--buildpkg': True, '--verbose': |
| 42 |
True, '--oneshot': True, '--debug': True, '--root-deps':'rdeps'}". I |
| 43 |
already searched gentoo bugs. Does anyone know if there was a change in |
| 44 |
portage that would cause this, or am I overlooking something? |
