[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH 0/3] INSTALL_MASK refurbishing resubmit

[Michał Górny]

Hi,

Here are three of four INSTALL_MASK updates I've sent long time ago
which were not really reviewed. The fourth patch added support
for repo-defined install-mask.conf and I'll do that separately.

Those patches focus on smaller changes. What they change, in order:

1. Removes explicit file removal code for FEATURES=no*. Instead, those
   values are converted into additional INSTALL_MASK entries
   and handled directly via INSTALL_MASK processing.

2. Rework INSTALL_MASK to filter files while installing instead of
   pre-stripping them. In other words, before: INSTALL_MASK removes
   files from ${D} before merge. After: ${D} contains all the files,
   Portage just skip INSTALL_MASK-ed stuff, verbosely indicating that.

3. Adds support for exclusions in INSTALL_MASK. In other words, you
   can do stuff like:

     INSTALL_MASK="/usr/share/locale -/usr/share/locale/en_US"

I have been using this via user patches since the last submission.
Guessing by 'git log', this means almost 2 years now.
