Hi,
After activating an overlay, I am getting build errors on any build that uses gdbus-codegen.

I'm not sure how to interpret the post-build message, isn't portage using the gdbus-codegen from the rindeal repository? |

^ this does not exist in portage, so you are using rindeal's 'virtual'. Why this is done is puzzling to me.
...after a brief look at the work, I would recommend to default mask all packages from ::rindeal and unmask only those packages that you seek to get in the overlay that are not in portage. |

I've rectified the error in the warning message and converted it into a hard error at preinst phase so that existing installations won't be affected in cases of mis-configuration such as these.
I've also increased the verbosity of the message and added a link directing users to my issue tracker.
Mis-configuration will now look like this:
| Code: | >>> Installing (1 of 1) dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.99::rindeal
* checking 0 files for package collisions
>>> Merging dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.99 to /
*
* This is a virtual package, which exists just to satisfy
* dependency constraints of packages from the 'gentoo' repository.
* 'gdbus-codegen' utility should've been installed from
* the 'dev-libs/glib:2' package found in the 'rindeal' repository.
*
* You have 2 options now:
*
* 1) Put these two lines into 'package.mask' file:
*
* dev-libs/glib:2::gentoo
* dev-util/gdbus-codegen::gentoo
*
* 2) Put these two lines into 'package.mask' file:
*
* dev-libs/glib:2::rindeal
* dev-util/gdbus-codegen::rindeal
*
* Otherwise you'll end up with no 'gdbus-codegen',
* which will cause subsequent builds to fail.
*
* ERROR: dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.99::rindeal failed (preinst phase):
* Package dev-libs/glib:2::rindeal not installed
*
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 124: Called pkg_preinst
* environment, line 709: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* die "Package dev-libs/glib:2::rindeal not installed";
*
* If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.99::rindeal'`,
* the complete build log and the output of `emerge -pqv '=dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.99::rindeal'`.
*
* Ask for help at https://github.com/rindeal/rindeal-ebuild-repo/issues

To answer the question of why is this package 'virtual'. Gentoo devs extracted the 'gdbus-codegen' utility from 'glib' software suite into this separate hacked-together package just to work around some issues in building stage* images or something like that. I don't have the need for such hacks in my repository thus I converted it into a 'virtual' package so that packages from the 'gentoo' repository, which depend on it, won't brake. |
