Does Gentoo Prefix now install it's own glibc ?
 

Hi,

I'm doing an update after a long time, and find that glibc is is being
compiled - is that right? How comes the change from the previous model
to use system libc?


Thanks

No, and it doesn't have any prefix KEYWORDS, so I guess that you
improperly used --autounmask or have a configuration error (invalid
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS)

... as far as I know, it's not keyworded ...

It's not supposed to be pulled in, let alone compiled.

What arch is your prefix? I very much doubt that Gentoo prefix has
changed this "policy" (I know if it's /officially/ policy -- I'd guess
something more like a long-standing tradition based on years of bitter
experience -- my understanding is that it's been tried several times but
has always ended in disaster and, ultimately, reversion).


But, I'm really the wrong person to say -- that's second-hand
information I'm giving you, I'm sure those who dealt with that in the
trenches could say more about it.


More likely, what has happened is that it has somehow accidentally
gotten unmasked in your ${EPREFIX}/etc/portage/ or by an overlay.


Also, just to be sure, I just synced my prefix-x86 tree and no glibc
appears in @system.

Ah, whoops... my mistake, sorry. It was being umasked. Why on earth
did I do that?!!!

Ah, taking it out of package.keywords has not actually stopped it being
pulled in. Looking at the tree (and then reading the ebuild), it's
actually icedtea-bin-7 pulling it in (it has a dependency of
>=sys-libs/glibc-2.11.2 ), so I guess I'll wait for that problem to go
away.

You also added icedtea-bin to your package.keywords then since it has Prefix KEYWORDS. There is nothing to "fix" with a bin package, sorry.

Ah, I see. OK, no worries. I'll try to install the non '-bin' package
instead.
