For example, if you used VIDEO-CARDS it will be ignored. You'll also find the output from emerge easier to parse if you don't use -v all the time, that way you see only more relevant information. -- Neil Bothwick In possession of a mind not merely twisted, but actually sprained. pgp5N47X3fCr0.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-user] VIDEO_CARDS= apparently ignored and new pkgs assigned
Setup: VBox vm running gentoo(amd64) guest on a win-10 (64bit) host Hardware: HP xw8600 - 2x Xeon CPU X5450 @ 3.00GHz - 32 GB ram I'm having a situation where way too many packages are coming up needing rebuilt during emerge world. Decided to see what `emerge @preserved-rebuild would bring me. ran `emerge -va @preserved-rebuild' and I notice that it appears my setting in /etc/portage/make.conf for VIDEO_CARDS="virtualbox" is being ignored... the output of above command shows: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.75::gentoo USE="-libkms -static-libs -valgrind" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu* nouveau* radeon* (-exynos) (-freedreno) -intel (-omap) (-tegra) (-vc4) (-vivante) -vmware" 0 KiB [ebuild R] mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.9-r1::gentoo USE="mbox ssl tcpd -ipv6 -ldap -libressl -nis -sasl -sockets" 0 KiB [ebuild R] x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu-1.2.0::gentoo USE="-glamor" 0 KiB [ebuild R] x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-7.8.0::gentoo USE="glamor -udev" 0 KiB [ebuild R] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.13::gentoo 0 KiB Note how VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu* nouveau* radeon* [...]" is being assigned. And the already installed (probably unneeded pkgs are being reinstalled) I considered ummerging those pkgs but checked `qdepends' on them and that swears they are required by xorg-server not to mention this whole string of other pkgs: qdepends x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.13: >=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.60[video_cards_nouveau] >=x11-libs/libpciaccess-0.10 !=sys-devel/automake-1.15:1.15 >=sys-devel/autoconf-2.69 >=sys-devel/libtool-2.4 virtual/pkgconfig x11-proto/xf86driproto x11-proto/glproto x11-proto/dri2proto x11-proto/fontsproto x11-proto/randrproto x11-proto/renderproto x11-proto/videoproto x11-proto/xextproto x11-proto/xineramaproto x11-proto/xproto x11-base/xorg-server[-minimal] x11-libs/libdrm x11-base/xorg-server[xorg] x11-libs/libpciaccess The other pkgs get similar output This was not the first time I checked qdepends on this. I did notice back when some of those driver pkgs were initially installed and wondered then why I needed them... I checked then with qdepends too and found that they are required by xorg-server and a similar string of other pkgs as shown above for each. Can anyone say what is going on here...? Is this normal? Should I really be needing drivers for ati, nouveau etc? Any ideas about what needs to be done if anything?
