[gentoo-portage-dev] Is there a way to skip tests even having FEATURES=test in make.conf?

2010-08-31 Thread Pacho Ramos
Hello

Let me explain my problem:

I have just returned to my home and, then, I have a lot of packages to
update when running emerge -avuDN world. The problem is that I have
FEATURES=test enabled in my make.conf and, since some of them take years
to run, I would like to temporally make portage skip them.

I have tried to simply disable that FEATURE temporally, but it causes
packages to change their USEs to -test having me to recompile them
later again.

Thanks a lot for your help :-)

 In order to avoid that, a usually suggest to enable USE=test in
 make.conf so that it's enabled regardless of the FEATURES=test state.
 

Silly me! It was so simple... :-O, thanks a lot!

 BTW, in the latest 2.2_rc releases there's support for
 /etc/portage/package.env which can be used to enable or disable
 FEATURES=test for specific packages. The package.env support will
 also be included in portage-2.1.9 which I plan to release sometime
 this week.

Nice! Thanks a lot for your work (and for the work of other portage team
members of course)
