More looking here. This is what I found with euse -i on my amd64 system: |
25 |
|
26 |
[- ] introspection |
27 |
sys-fs/udev: Use dev-libs/gobject-introspection for introspection |
28 |
|
29 |
|
30 |
but this is what emerge shows: |
31 |
|
32 |
root@fireball / # emerge -pv udev |
33 |
|
34 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
35 |
|
36 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
37 |
[ebuild R ] sys-fs/udev-164-r2 USE="extras -build (-selinux) |
38 |
-test" 0 kB |
39 |
|
40 |
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB |
41 |
root@fireball / # |
42 |
|
43 |
So, I suspect it is enabled somewhere on a much lower level and not |
44 |
optional. Then I emerge udev and used the find tool. I found these |
45 |
little tidbits: |
46 |
|
47 |
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu |
48 |
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man |
49 |
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc |
50 |
--localstatedir=/var/lib --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --sbindir=/sbin |
51 |
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-rootlibdir=/lib64 --libexecdir=/lib64/udev |
52 |
--enable-logging --enable-static --without-selinux --enable-extras |
53 |
--disable-introspection |
54 |
|
55 |
gintrospection: no |
56 |
|
57 |
So, seeing that it is disabled, maybe it is disabled now on a lower |
58 |
level and is no longer a option? Notice the question mark. This makes |
59 |
me wonder. It still shows up with euse. It appears disabled but also |
60 |
doesn't show up as a USE flag option for us mere mortals. ;-) |
61 |
|
62 |
More looking. I find this: |
63 |
|
64 |
[- ] introspection |
65 |
media-libs/gstreamer: Use dev-libs/gobject-introspection for |
66 |
introspection |
67 |
|
68 |
Then emerge reports this: |
69 |
|
70 |
root@fireball / # emerge -pv gstreamer |
71 |
|
72 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
73 |
|
74 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
75 |
[ebuild R ] media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.35 USE="introspection nls |
76 |
-test" 0 kB |
77 |
|
78 |
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB |
79 |
root@fireball / # |
80 |
|
81 |
So, it is enabled on this one but not udev. The flag does exist and can |
82 |
be controlled, at least on some packages. |
83 |
|
84 |
My thoughts. Some packages it is disabled somewhere that overrides your |
85 |
settings. Might be because it breaks something. The packages where it |
86 |
is a option, then it sees your settings and applies them. I'm as |
87 |
confused as you are on emerge --info tho. If it helps any, I don't have |
88 |
the flag in my make.conf but it appears to be enabled for gstreamer but |
89 |
disabled for udev. I think the devs are picking and choosing which |
90 |
packages can have the flag user controlled and not break something. |
91 |
|
92 |
One last thing that I find interesting. This is weird. |
93 |
|
94 |
root@fireball / # USE="introspection" emerge -Na world |
95 |

Nothing to merge; would you like to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No] n |

It appears that the packages on my system are all controlled by |
121 |
something over my settings. It does nothing when I enable or disable |
122 |
it. Yet it is turned on for one package above and turned off for the |
123 |
other. Scratch your head on that one for a while. |
