Well, i've been testing this on an x86 laptop and an x86_64 box over the
weekend. Good news is that when it works, it works well. Bad news is I've
yet to be able to get through an 'emerge -e world' without at least a dozen
build failures that resolve themselves when i clear the cache.
Specific merge list would be wonderful... ;)
And hella long. ;) I'm working on a way to automate narrowing it down somewhat.
The errors
range between unresolved symbols to 'platform does not support (null)' to
Err... that one I'd be very interested in.
I think that one was while building ruby...
So... what features you got, and what sandbox version?
sandbox-1.2.17
FEATURES="autoconfig ccache confcache digest distlocks parallel-fetch prelink
sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict"
CONFCACHE_DIR="/var/cache/confcache"
also the same specs on the x86_64 box.
There are apparently a lot of broken configures out there.
Not as many as you would think actually; just takes one to cause some
issues though. My personal experience has been different from yours,
but reports re: confcache I've been watching/weary about.
i did one bug report for cyrus-sasl breakage that i eventually tracked down to
being ruby's fault, but i didn't want to file any others since i really couldn't
report anything useful other than "$pkg is broked".
Personally, any bug reports that come in with confcache enabled should
have the confcache disabled imo; just the same as potentially whonky
cflags, scale it back to ensure the problem is in the source, not in
any bastardization's the users configuration has done to it.
agree here. i would go as far as to maybe print a message to that effect if the
build fails while FEATURES="confcache".
Meanwhile, if you're getting failures up the ying yang and it's not
tracked down, I'd state tabling the feature (or tagging massively
hideous warnings regarding it) is required. Iirc, solar ran a
full build with confcache enabled (believe it was 0.3.*), so input
from him would be useful also for comparison.
damn, i don't want to hold this up, especially if no one else is having
troubles. i have a couple days off right now so i'll do some poking around and
see what i can come up with. i'll open a bug and assign to you if i figure
anything out.
thanks
