 Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2017 1:56 am Post subject: USE flags being ignored? |
 |
|
I am down to the last few packages for my laptop reinstall and have an issue. It seems as though Chromium is ignoring USE flags.
| Code: |
9y84mj1 ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.use/www-client.chromium
www-client/chromium system-libvpx
9y84mj1 ~ # equery uses www-client/chromium
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for www-client/chromium-61.0.3163.79:
U I
- - component-build : Split build into more shared libraries to speed up
linking. Mostly intended for debugging and
development, NOT RECOMMENDED for general use.

- - gnome-keyring : Enable support for storing passwords via
gnome-keyring

screen sharing

What's going on here? I want Chromium to use the systems libvpx, like Firefox does.

You will see your answer if you try to emerge -pv chromium.
The use flag is masked. This usually means that it is either an unsupported or buggy configuration. Overriding is not recommended, but if you want to the file (or directory) is package.use.force

I just figured it out, Doc. Apparently I can use ffmpeg OR libvpx, not both. Found the answer reading a Google Groups post. I removed my USE file for Chromium since I would prefer ffmpeg of the two and the file only attempted to add libvpx. Thanks for you input though, I did not know I could force USE flags, but I doubt I ever will.

So how do we override default IUSE flags for a specific package? Putting | Code: | | www-client/chromium system-icu |
in /etc/portage/profile/package.use.force does not work.
This needs documentation. |

| Code: | | # echo "www-client/chromium -system-libvpx" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask |
"-" is for unmask in this case, see here
