A computer program does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do.

Sometimes stuff does fail - you can't fully know beforehand if an ebuild will
succeed or not. --skipfirst is perfectly safe if you have looked at the
package list and know that there's no dependency issues. The danger is
blindly resuming without understanding the consequences.


For example, lets assume there's a package called alan-fonts-meta which
depends on 20 fancy wingding-type fonts. Lets also assume that I was a dork
when coding one font ebuild at 4am and botched the SRC_URI. That ebuild will
fail, but you know for sure that you can safely --resume --skipfirst
(followed by a scathing email with a blunt instrument as payload).


Other examples exist. OTOH, if the expat upgrade of some months ago failed, a
blind resume would likely have caused endless troubles.





That was my point in a round about way. If you don't know, don't use
--skipfirst since it could mess up some stuff and turn your puter into a
mess after logging out or a reboot. I'm thinking some of the more
serious system packages with that.


Me, I don't even claim to know so I either ask or fix what borked. LOL

That's not the real risk: Since any sane user will of course check which
packages have failed and make sure that the upgraded version will be
installed, this will not leave you with an inconsistent system
(the next emerge -NaDu world - which of course also any sane user would
do afterwards - would even tell you the problem, and in case of an ABI
change you would be informed by revdep-rebuild).
The only case I can think of where _really_ problems might arise is the
(very rare) situation which I had described: That the ./configure script
of X builds X without errors but also without support for Y if only 1.2.2
of Y is installed:
Then neither later upgrading of Y nor revdep-rebuild will show anything
suspicious, although X does not behave in the intended way.

Obviously, you deal with a completely different class of user to what I have
to deal with....

Well, that's exactly the point where ciaranm and others accused r0bertz
(and implicitly me, usually doing the same) of being... well, the title
of my original post is clear.


"(mlangc) if your "update" script leaves your system unusable you would

Harsh tones/awkward social skills apart , the guys seem to imply this
kind of check is not enough.

Very clear, thanks.
This is, technically, a bug in the ./configure ,however, isn't it?

That's my thinking too. The correct action would be to patch the ./configure
and submit the patches upstream so everyone benefits. But it's not always so
easy.

For example, I build e17 from svn and keep my own custom overlay for it. Most
packages have --enable- options but some features are automagically detected
at configure time, which leads to the exact problem described above, and it
has happened to me. So it's not a theoretical possibility but a real (albeit
rare) one.

This is FUD. Really stop it, if you dont know what you are talking about.

Scott Ritchie has been making a WONDERFUL job by packing any version (or pa=
tch) of wine to most of Ubuntu versions, as soon as they came out, and maki=
ng them FULLY compatible with Ubuntu system policies.
Wine repo cant do that.
So please just use the Ubuntu version, that you are going to get very well =
served.


=46YI the latest version available is 1.0.0-1ubuntu10.
