Hmm. Portage saves and reuses the ebuild environment, so each installed package has its phases and related eclass code stored. Which means this is probably fine, since 1) after syncing, the ebuilds are gone, so you'll never be able to rebuild the consumer 2) and unmerging the consumer is done using the saved environment.

Except that you need to keep track of version dependencies across the whole tree. So, yes, this is in principle correct, and in practice with our current tooling more or less impossible to do reliably.

We know. It's actually way worse than you describe [*] and was noticed already quite some time ago. Unfortunately this is a situation that can IMHO not be easily fixed, and we can only strive to do it better next time. The mistake was to allow the use of EAPI=8 too early. In the future, we should have a new EAPI supported by portage for at least some months before the EAPI is even used in the main tree. Not even speaking about stable here. From there on all the trouble cascades. And no, disallowing a new EAPI for only a part of the tree does not help. (Which part?) An alternative, which we should seriously consider (and which I've been advocating for several months now) is to make Portage more robust, so it can more easily upgrade itself, and keep the Portage ebuild at old EAPI. This means, * making Portage independent of the python eclasses, so it runs as long as any python3 interpreter exists * and bundling all Python dependencies it needs for functioning in it [*] Of course there are ways around this to upgrade the system. However, that is not the point. It should work out of the box. -- Andreas K.

Mike,
could you please do this just like everyone else, i.e. file a bug and give
arch teams a go? Even if you're on all the arch teams? Even if you know the
code best? More eyes do not hurt.
(I am absolutely not in the mood right now for hunting down why alpha stage
builds now fail.)

Thanks! Nice to see that this is appreciated :) So far I'm only using "spare time" on the machine that builds the releng stages (amd64, x86, m68k, riscv).

I'll ask for an alias and a channel soon. The most useful steps now are only half related to actual building. I barely know any python and am not very familiar with portage internals... this is what in my opinion we'd need next: 1) a tool to manage and manipulate a binpkg/ directory tree The main functions that I see needed are * delete packages/versions that are not in the gentoo repository anymore (xpak and in index file), maybe with some grace time * merge xpak files built elsewhere into the directory (also in the index file) (imagine you have a second container that builds with same CFLAGS, but with use settings for gnome, not plasma... or with updated dependencies because of changes in gentoo.git... you want to merge the trees for distribution without having duplicate builds) 2) binary package cryptographic signing and verification Essentially we need to finish support for GLEP78; this is being worked on in RinCat's pull request https://github.com/gentoo/portage/pull/562 See also https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0078.html 3) an easy way to figure out if a binary package repo is suitable for a profile / arch / ... or not, and a standard for path names This is not so important right now, and partially also already present I guess. The actual builder right now is very simple and wired up with a single daily cron job; the mirrors are only updated manually by me until bug 813528 is handled. Cheers Andreas -- Andreas K.

Rough idea: * introduce 1st, 2nd, 3rd class categories, categorized in metadata somewhere * 1st class is what you want in your world file (and default setting) * 2nd class is everything else * 3rd class is stuff that should never be in your world file (but still can be, if you want) Then tooling can (maybe output a warning but) default to highest class category if none is given.

[gentoo-dev] news item: riscv upgrade to 20.0 profiles
Feedback welcome... Title: riscv upgrade to 20.0 profiles Author: Andreas K. Hüttel Posted: 2021-06-25 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Profile: default/linux/riscv/17.0/rv64gc/lp64d Display-If-Profile: default/linux/riscv/17.0/rv64gc/lp64d/systemd Display-If-Profile: default/linux/riscv/17.0/rv64gc/lp64 Display-If-Profile: default/linux/riscv/17.0/rv64gc/lp64/systemd On RISC-V we are switching from two-level library directories (e.g., /usr/lib64/lp64d) to a more traditional directory architecture. This is done via the profile upgrade from 17.0 to 20.0 profiles. We recommend to re-install from scratch using a 20.0 profile based stage. 17.0 profiles will be deprecated immediately and removed in 6 months. If you want to upgrade an existing installation, the following steps should be taken. Please read all commands carefully first and make sure you understand them, since the procedure is risky. The commands are given for a lp64d profile; in case of a lp64 profile, always replace lp64d with lp64. # cd /usr/local/lib64 # cp -av lp64d/. . # rm -rf lp64d # ln -s . lp64d # cd /usr/lib64 # cp -av lp64d/. . # rm -rf lp64d # ln -s . lp64d # cd /lib64 # cp -av lp64d/. . # rm -rf lp64d # sln . lp64d Note that the last command uses "sln" instead of "ln -s". Then switch from your 17.0 profile to the corresponding 20.0 profile, either by using "eselect profile" or by manually changing the /etc/portage/make.profile symlink. Next, rebuild all packages: # emerge -eav world As last step, check if portage has removed any of the symlinks created above, and if yes, recreate them. -- Andreas K.

[gentoo-dev] Need help with perl-cleaner
Hi all,
due to having somewhat too many Gentoo projects and not enough time at
the moment, I'd like to ask for help with perl-cleaner here.
It is in most cases not necessary anymore, and I personally have not
used it for ages, since the automated rebuilds via subslots make it
obsolete. Still...
* The change in path structure with Perl 5.32 (from, e.g., /usr/lib64
perl5/5.30.3 to /usr/lib64/perl5/5.32) broke the rebuild functionality
[1]
* There are issues with the 17.1 profiles [2]
* There are several unrelated bugs and github issues.
* Testing is nontrivial since you basically need a snapshotted
install, where you can roll back a Perl upgrade.
* The code is, well, horrible. [3]
In any case, please have a look and file bugs and even better patches
and/or pull-requests...
https://github.com/gentoo-perl/perl-cleaner/
If no help materializes, my plan is to lobotomize perl-cleaner so it
only cleans out "known leftover files" and otherwise recommends a
portage command to rebuild all reverse dependencies of dev-lang/perl.
Unfortunately this kind of blocks Perl 5.32 stable.
Cheers,
Andreas

Re: [gentoo-dev] How to structure our RISC-V support -- Summary
So, here's what I took away from the thread. Please shout if you disagree. 1) Advertised riscv profiles will all be non-multilib and use /usr/ lib64 (or /usr/lib if we ever get around to riscv32). [A] 2) The standard for keywording and stabilization is rv64gc/lp64d. We keep stages for other variants [B] around if feasible, but on these important packages may be masked and unavailable [C]. 3) We try to internally keep the multilib variant with the two-stage path going for now, as very low-priority thing. [D] 4) Medium term we discuss with the RISC-V, glibc, gcc people how multilib could be simplified, and then switch the multilib settings once this comes to a conclusion. If there are no protests I'll start planning the path migration for 1). (Maybe making a riscv-specific new profile version is best.) Cheers, Andreas [A] Note that the actual specs use /usr/lib32/... [B] Other ABI (lp64) or other ISA (riscv32...) [C] See rust etc. [D] Low priority means, it pretty much won't build every now and then, as, e.g., right now [E]. [E] Our monkeypatched glibc-2.32 rv32 support was experimental enough so it didnt survive the transition to official upstream glibc-2.33 support, so the multilib stages will have to be re-bootstrapped. > So, I would like to bring two proposals up for discussion. > > 1) We stop caring about anything except rv64gc/lp64d. > People can still bootstrap other stuff with crossdev etc, but the > Gentoo tree and the riscv keyword reflect that things work with > above -mabi and -march settings. > > 2) We drop the multilib paths and use "normal" lib64, with > additional "safety symlinks" (/usr)/lib64/lp64d -> . > This is what SuSE and (I think) Fedora already does.

The main relevant combination is rv64gc/lp64d, which is arguably what a linux machine "should have". (I could also imagine to keep rv64imac/lp64 profile and stages (also using lib64), these would have to mask stuff like rust then though.)

[gentoo-dev] How to structure our RISC-V support
Howdy.
I'm sending this not only to the team members on the alias, but also
to the whole dev list for discussion.
So far I've been trying to support in Gentoo the full risc-v multilib
directory structure and the ABI sets supported by glibc. According to
specs this means for riscv64
-mabi=rv64gc -march=lp64d
libdir = lib64/lp64d
("hardfloat")
-mabi=rv64imac -march=lp64
libdir = lib64/lp64
("softfloat")
and theoretically similar for riscv32 (which just landed in glibc and
is still broken in qemu-user).
However, this leads to several levels of pain (and I definitely dont
have time to deal with it myself):
a) In many places the two-level libdir (e.g., /usr/lib64/lp64d) leads
to difficulties in build systems. Right now Qt5 and CMake are still
somewhat broken (in *Gentoo*).
b) Rust only supports rv64gc/lp64d. (Which is arguably what you should
have for decent Linux support.)
I'm pretty sure these are not the only things, but they are somewhat
symptomatic.
So, I would like to bring two proposals up for discussion.
1) We stop caring about anything except rv64gc/lp64d.
People can still bootstrap other stuff with crossdev etc, but the
Gentoo tree and the riscv keyword reflect that things work with above
-mabi and -march settings.
2) We drop the multilib paths and use "normal" lib64, with additional
"safety symlinks" (/usr)/lib64/lp64d -> .
This is what SuSE and (I think) Fedora already does. The symlink
should be there since "lib64" is NOT an official fallback coded into
gcc/glibc/binutils; the only fallback present is "lib" ...
Opinions?
Cheers,
Andreas

That's right. Though we should at some point start thinking about an end of support for separate usr without initramfs. Why? Because the number of required hacks and complexity will only increase, as will the number of uncooperative upstreams. It's called a strategic retreat. :D My suggestion would be that the next profile version (21? 22?) declares separate /usr a broken configuration, and explicitly encourages devs to introduce all ebuild simplifications that are made possible by this. (Like this symlink - no more conditional code.) No more discussions about "not breaking things" at that point.

[gentoo-dev] timezone configuration - why copying, not symlinking /etc/localtime ?
Hi all, why do we *copy* the timezone file to /etc/localtime, instead of symlinking it like everyone else? 1) Our handbook recommends: echo "Europe/Brussels" > /etc/timezone emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data which is effectively doing echo "Europe/Brussels" > /etc/timezone cp -f /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels /etc/localtime 2) Most other distros seem to just do ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels /etc/localtime and use the link content as timezone name (this is also what is required by systemd). Does anyone remember the reason for 1) ? Or is that lost in history? Cheers, Andreas PS See also bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/737914 , where support for 1) was removed from Qt. -- Andreas K.

[gentoo-dev] Towards getting GCC 10 stable
Hey all,
it would be great if we could get gcc-10 stable at some point in the near
future... For that purpose we now have a new tracker:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/762907 ("gcc-10-stable", depends on 127 open bugs).
Please have a look if you can help anywhere with the blocking bugs.
Thanks a lot in advace :)

Hi all, since utf8 encoding is everywhere by now, and since switching the useflag unicode off without taking precautions is a way to hose your installation, I would propose to medium-term get rid of this flag. Suggestion: 1) use.force unicode now/soon in the default profiles 2) step by step, modify ebuilds to enable the functionality unconditionally (and if necessary fix depstrings) 3) at some point the flag is gone Opinions?

Why *isn't* some /var/lib/... possible here?
I mean, user configuration works perfectly fine there, even if you have to
log in. And the purpose of the account is closer to, say, root (with its
nonstandard home directory location) than a normal user.
I've seen all possible site-specific changes to /home layout, including,
e.g.,
* /home/server1/username
* /home/large/username
* /home/u/username
...
which would all get somehow messy if a system account with a fixed path is
forced in there.
