At this point, the functionality built_with_use provides should be covered near or more likely, in full, but USE deps in EAPI2 and EAPI4; thus warn on usage.
While this may be a bit annoying, this is the only major consumer left at this point that knows about /var/db/pkg layout; once that's gone, alternative VDB formats can occur (meaning faster package manager operations, or at least the potential if implemented sanely). This patch is a rough first stab at the wording (english isn't exactly my forte) to use for warning; better/clearer warning text would be appreciated. --- eutils.eclass | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) diff --git a/eutils.eclass b/eutils.eclass index 8bfc2bc..7f5a616 100644 --- a/eutils.eclass +++ b/eutils.eclass @@ -1196,7 +1196,9 @@ built_with_use() { fi local missing_action="die" + local missing_was_set=false if [[ $1 == "--missing" ]] ; then + missing_was_set=true missing_action=$2 shift ; shift case ${missing_action} in @@ -1205,6 +1207,17 @@ built_with_use() { esac fi + if ! has $EAPI 0 1 2 3; then + eqawarn "built_with_use should not be used in $EAPI; use USE deps." + elif has $EAPI 2 3; then + if [[ $hidden == yes ]] || $missing_was_set; then + eqawarn "built_with_use in EAPI=$EAPI without --missing or --hidden usage, should use USE deps instead." + else + eqawarn "built_with_use should not be used; upgrade to EAPI=4 instead" + fi + fi + + local opt=$1 [[ ${opt:0:1} = "-" ]] && shift || opt="-a" -- 1.7.12
