dd a comment to the functions operating on that array to remind people it might be the empty array. It wasn't immediately obvious to me upon reading the code it'd safely do nothing (today I learned "rm -f" (with no further arguments) successfully does nothing, while "rm" (with no arguments) fails because of a missing operand). -- Marien Zwart (marienz)

Re: [gentoo-dev] RFC: PROPERTIES=funky-slots

2012-06-23 Thread Marien Zwart
me up with a better approach for deciding whether or not the property should be set than "is SLOTS being used for something "clever" or not". I would also suggest that the default should be to *not* pull in new slots by default, but perhaps some review of how slotting is most commonly used would help decide on that. -- Marien Zwart

2012-06-22 Thread Marien Zwart
silly rebuilds in packages where it makes sense to USE-depend on them with a flag set, or where an already popular flag can be used to pull in some obvious packages. I think something like "suggested" dependencies can be used to solve a slightly different problem, and perhaps we could have those too, but let's leave those for later. -- Marien Zwart

endation to enable USE=xvfb > in x11-base/xorg-server" I do not see where you are going with this. Can you refer me to where this suggestion was made? virtualx.eclass adds a hard dependency if the test USE flag (or some other USE flag) is set, and no dependency if this USE flag is not set. When would virtualx.eclass add an optional dependency? -- Marien Zwart

Re: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Dynamic SLOTs

2012-06-17 Thread Marien Zwart
an addition to the dependency syntax that lets you depend on a matching named dynamic slot. That makes your DYNAMIC_SLOTS="|| ( py2.6 py2.7 ruby1.8 ruby1.9 )" example impossible, but I think it'd be uncommon for that approach to make sense: I think it'd usually make more sense to split that into two packages, one per language. -- Marien Zwart

is as the current setup isn't actually *broken* (for the majority of games), and changing things around a lot of work. So I'd like to request they reconsider (and start installing new/updated games in a more normal way), but as they're the ones doing most of the work here I think it makes sense to leave the decision with them. -- Marien Zwart

[gentoo-dev] last rites for dev-python/twisted-cvs

Hi, twisted-cvs is a live cvs ebuild that is completely useless since it is checking out a module that no longer exists (upstream switched to svn long ago). I plan to remove it next sunday (yes, that's less than the usual week, but the ebuild doesn't even finish src_unpack, so...). -- Marien.
