cannot set USE="doc" flag

[suhlhorn]

I've tried many ways, but I can't enable the 'doc' use flag on ppc-macos (no problems on my x86 systems).

Code: Select all

MRHANKY:~ root# USE="doc" emerge -pv tetex

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-text/tetex-2.0.2-r4  +X -debug (-doc) 0 kB 

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

Q1- What are the ( ) around the doc flag for?

Q2- Why isn't the doc flag being set?
I've added it to my make.conf and also to packages.use, but I still get:

No doc in the USE variable. Is this a bug?

# Skipping docs for now
doc

Why? I do not know, but you could be crazy and comment this line.

Already tried that.

Anyway, shouldn't this be overridden by /etc/portage/package.use and/or setting USE="doc" during the emerge?

[cmoad]

My impression was that these files represent hard masks. For example, on my x86 gentoo box, "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -pv python" trys for python-2.3.4 since the python-2.4 ebuild is masked in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask.

[suhlhorn]

I made /etc/portage/use.unmask and added doc...no dice. But shouldn't commenting that line out in the profile provide the same effect?

Looks like a bug, no?

Did you try the right profile. I found these by grepping. Wouldn't hurt to try them all.

Very nice. I commented them all out and now I can set the doc flag.

I initially used /usr/portage/profile/default-macos-10.3 since I'm running panther, but I guess it's not that simple. I will start the emerge and see if there is a reason the doc flag is hard masked.

UPDATE:
The offending use flag is in profiles/default-darwin/use.mask. The other macos profiles have the doc flag masked, but they don't seem to effect the emerge. I submitted a bug:
