 |
|
Hi and thanks for reading this.
I've just upgraded this morning to portage 2.1 stable. I upated the metadata and also re-run "emerge --sync" afterwards without having upgraded anything else before that.
The thing is that when I try to update my system as usual with "emerge --update --newuse --deep --ask -vt world" after the second rsync I get a lot of recompilations like this: | Code: | | [ebuild R ] kde-base/kwin-3.5.2-r2 USE="-arts* -debug -kdeenablefinal -kdehiddenvisibility -xcomposite -xinerama" 0 kB |
The list is pretty long and shows (all?) my KDE packages lose the "arts" flag. I even lost it in /etc/make.conf.
Is this normal?
Thanks in advance. |

| Most likely you didn't even have it in your make.conf but it got enabled via Automatic USE flags. The new portage doesn't use automatic USE flags anymore (by default) so you have to enable the missing use flags manually by adding them to your make.conf. |

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
However, I didn't remove "arts" or any other missing USE flag from my /etc/make.conf. It is profuse to be blamed for it.
As I've checked after manually reinsterting the missing flags, whenever I use profuse and save the changes (even if none), I lose once again those flags.
So, I recommend not to edit your USE flags with profuse until it gets updated to get along with the new portage version. |

It depends. The autouse feature has been disabled by default, but the arts use flag is in make.defaults of all 200x.y profiles, so I guess you chose to use a more general profile.

The latest stable profile is 2006.0, and here you are the content of my AMD64's make.defaults: | Code: | $ cat /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.0/make.defaults

As you can see there's no "arts" in this default file if you choose to follow the stable path. |

Please see Portage 2.1 'autouse' flags - now what.
