I'm now running my update script daily (on a SSD...) |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
KDE is still profoundly broken. |
| 4 |
Steam still doesn't work. -- might be fixed by a reboot but can't reboot |
| 5 |
due to dependence on kde packages... |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Today I get |
| 8 |
[ebuild R ] dev-lang/spidermonkey-52.9.1_pre1:52::gentoo |
| 9 |
USE="custom-cflags system-icu -custom-optimization -debug -minimal |
| 10 |
{-test} (-jit%*)" 0 KiB |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I can't read the syntax there up around jit, clearly it is disabled for |
| 14 |
some platform reason even though it is enabled in make.conf and even, |
| 15 |
for some packages, in profile... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
OK. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Then it barfs. (unsurprisingly) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The vomit reads like the developer turned on warnings for many things he |
| 22 |
wanted to pretend to want to fix but never fixed them... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Anyway, It gets all the way to the install phase and it dies because: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* ERROR: dev-lang/spidermonkey-52.9.1_pre1::gentoo failed (install phase): |
| 27 |
* USE Flag 'jit' not in IUSE for dev-lang/spidermonkey-52.9.1_pre1 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
and I'm like FU, asshole. The flag is enabled, you disabled it, -- just |
| 30 |
run in interpreted mode for chrissake! |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
And then we get to the perennial fails, fails that have been broken FOR |
| 34 |
YEARS, and are breaking really super important stuff like Xine, the best |
| 35 |
media player for Linux... |
| 36 |

|
| 44 |
What?!?!?! I'm not allowed to play midi files on linux anymore either? =( |
| 45 |
|

|
| 47 |
I really want to like the recent package cleanups, I really do, but |
| 48 |
seriously, the distribution is severely broken right now. I mean keyword |
| 49 |
[platform] is much too conservative to be usable... But then keyword |
| 50 |
~[platform] should be Stable Enough -- as it has been for over a |
| 51 |
decade... Can we please stop breaking stuff until these things are |
| 52 |
working again??? |
