emerge blocking package
I would like to hear an opinion what the following output means
(regarding emergeing subversion).

--------------------
root # emerge.masked -pv subversion

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] >=net-www/apache-2* (from pkg dev-util/subversion-1.0.0-r1)
[ebuild UD] sys-devel/autoconf-2.57a-r1 [2.58] 1,252 kB
[ebuild N ] net-misc/neon-0.24.4 -expat +ssl +zlib 636 kB
[ebuild N ] dev-util/subversion-1.0.0-r1 -apache2 +berkdb -emacs
+perl +python +ssl 5,939 kB
---------------------

Regards,
Goran

Well, I notice that subversion wants to install -apache2, so naturally a
previously installed apache2 would block it.

I wonder what the output would be if you had

dev-util/subversion apache2

in /etc/portage/package.use

Thanks, Cyrill,

But I would like to understand the situation.

Does the output(mine) means that subversion would be compiled without
apache2 support by default? And this causes the conflict?

Goran

Yes. That is what USE flags do-- enable support for, or remove support
for, specific conditions. In this case, support for apache2 and emacs
would NOT be compiled in, while support for berkdb, perl, python, and
ssl would.

So since Perl support is "automatic" (yes, by default), if for example
you did not have Perl installed, Perl would also be emerged when you
emerged Subversion (because Perl support in Subversion is necessarily
dependent on the presence of Perl).

You can specify what support you want compiled in and what not, by
changing the USE flags globally in /etc/make.conf, or for individual
packages in /etc/portage/package.use


> And this causes the conflict?

Yes. Usually it's not a problem, but in this case obviously *lack* of
support for Apache2 in Subversion actively conflicts with the presence
of Apache2. So Apache2 would have to be removed to compile Subversion
without support for Apache2.

If you do plan to keep using Apache2, it's obviously more reasonable and
easier to simply compile Subversion *with* Apache2 support, which is
what we are advising.

By default, the system does not include apache2 support.
Imagine, you are using apache1.3.27 and want to emerge
subversion, with by default have apache2 USE flag.

during emerge you will by notified that you need to unmerge
apache1.3.27 and emerge apache2.

Apache 2 is not so popular for these days, so not US(E)ing apache2
as default flag is the best way for have no conflicts.

if use apache2; then
einfo "The apache2 subversion module will be built, and libapr from the"
einfo "apache package will be used instead of the included."
else
einfo "Please note that subversion and apache2 cannot be installed"
einfo "simultaneously without specifying the apache2 use flag. This is"
einfo "because subversion installs its own libapr and libapr-util in that"
einfo "case. Specifying the apache2 useflag will also enable the building of"
einfo "the apache2 module."
fi


It'd be nice if there was a way to get this sort of information without having
to begin the installation of the package (or reading the ebuild) but not just
yet...

Jason Stubbs

Defintely checkout bugzilla and report. That's realy "not good" (tm)
to have Apache blocking your use of subversion!
