1 Hi,
2
3 The council has approved [1] "Profile IUSE injection" [2] for inclusion
4 in EAPI 5, and in latest Portage we have experimental EAPI 5_pre2 [3]
5 which implements all of the approved features. So, now would be a good
6 time to start populating IUSE_IMPLICIT with whatever values may be
7 appropriate.
8
9 What values belong there? Some of the flags that appear in
10 profiles/base/use.mask might make good candidates, such as prefix and
11 selinux. How about other special flags like bootstrap, build, and test?
12
13 I've already populated the variables for the ARCH, ELIBC, KERNEL, and
14 USERLAND flags that we can probably all agree on [4] (oops, I screwed up
15 the commit message). The resulting injected list of IUSE_EFFECTIVE flags
16 looks like this:
17
18 alpha amd64 amd64-fbsd amd64-linux arm arm-linux elibc_AIX elibc_Cygwin
19 elibc_Darwin elibc_FreeBSD elibc_HPUX elibc_Interix elibc_NetBSD
20 elibc_OpenBSD elibc_SunOS elibc_Winnt elibc_glibc elibc_mintlib
21 elibc_uclibc hppa hppa-hpux ia64 ia64-hpux ia64-linux kernel_AIX
22 kernel_Cygwin kernel_Darwin kernel_FreeBSD kernel_HPUX kernel_Interix
23 kernel_NetBSD kernel_OpenBSD kernel_SunOS kernel_Winnt kernel_freemint
24 kernel_linux m68k m68k-mint mips ppc ppc-aix ppc-macos ppc-openbsd ppc64
25 ppc64-linux s390 sh sparc sparc-fbsd sparc-solaris sparc64-freebsd
