Then, for the nth time, what would be the good solution? How would one convert prepalldocs usage to something allowed? I've failed to find anything about it in the relevant bug and the only answer I've seen is "remove it". You can count on me for marking any prepalldocs removal bug I'll be the assignee as wontfix as long as there won't be any alternative solution. Note that I would consider a viable solution banning prepalldocs and simply removing it if portage was compressing docs by its own or calling prepalldocs after src_install... but then IMHO that's the removal of prepalldocs that would require an EAPI bump not its reintroduction.

If you care about a couple of hundred kilobytes, relying upon individual ebuilds to ask the package manager to compress documentation in some arbitrary manner is the wrong solution.

Re: [gentoo-dev] prepalldocs is now banned
Why would people want to blindly remove prepalldocs when it clearly results in an inferior build of the package? Take the recent change to the (already marked stable) gnupg-2.0.9.ebuild as an example: Before: $ epm -qi gnupg | grep Size Size: 2845754 $ epm -qi gnupg | grep Size Size: 3089515 So everybody who emerges gnupg since this change is wasting space for no good reason.

Since our eselect team is defunct, I will mask the bash-completion USE flag for app-admin/eselect unless someone steps up to take care of it (working patches exist, anyone?). Analogy: If subversion's bash-completion module was broken, it wouldn't block anything to do with app-shells/bash-completion. Instead you would work it out with upstream. Also: *enabling* bash-completion modules via eselect works just fine. So, I don't get why this reply was needed on this thread. -Jeremy

[gentoo-dev] Time to remove app-shells/bash-completion-config
Hello, I would like to request that bash-completion-20081218 to be marked stable by the arches soon here. In doing so, I'm going to make the following change to bash-completion.eclass: -RDEPEND="bash-completion? - ( || ( - app-admin/eselect - app-shells/bash-completion-config - ) - )" +RDEPEND="bash-completion? ( app-admin/eselect )" We should only be using eselect now to enable bash-completion. I think bash-completion-config is broken now anyway (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253878). So, after this change, I will p.mask b-c-c for removal. Any concerns? The upgrade path in the future is going to be wierd as upstream is releasing v1.0 soon, but that is not concern for now. Thanks, Jeremy
