It has been proposed that +pkg_pretend should continue the tradition of adhoc shell code validating the USE +state- this too is non optimal for the following reasons- + +1. The only way to find out if the USE state is disallowed is to run the code +2. The common implementation of this can result in an iterative process where +the user hits a USE constraint, fixs it, reruns the emerge invocation only to +find that there is another constraint still violated for the ebuild, thus +requiring them to fix it, rerun emerge, etc. +3. For a package manager to classify the error, the only option it has is to +try and parse adhoc output written by an ebuild dev. This effectively disallows +package manager options for providing a more informative error message. A simple +example would be if the package manager wanted to integrate in the flag +descriptions from use.desc/use.local.desc; this would be effectively impossible. +4. Fundamentally these constraints are data, yet they're being encoded as +executable code- this effectively blocks the possibility of doing a wide variety +of QA/tree scans. For example it blocks the possibility of sanely scanning for +USE flag induced hard dependency cycles, because the tools in question cannot +get that info out of adhoc shell code. +5. More importantly if the manager cannot know what the allowed USE states are +for the ebuild in question, this eliminates the possibility of ever sanely +breaking dependency cycles caused by USE flags. + +Just as .sh scripts are considered a poor archival form due to their opaqueness, +pkg_setup and pkg_pretend aren't a proper solution for this. pkg_pretend in +particular makes the situation slightly worse due to ebuild devs being expected +to convert their ebuilds to the pkg_pretend form when using EAPI4. In doing so +they'll have to do work w/out the gains REQUIRED_USE provides and have to repeat +the same conversion work when REQUIRED_USE lands in a later EAPI. + +It's due to this and a few lesser reasons that EAPI4 is strongly recommended as +the target for this functionality. + +Specification +============= + +Essentially REQUIRED_USE is proposed to be an analogue of DEPENDS style syntax- +a list of assertions that must be met for this USE configuration to be valid for +this ebuild. For example, to state "if build is set, python must be unset": + +REQUIRED_USE="build? ( !python )" + +To state "either mysql or sqlite must be set, but not both": + +REQUIRED_USE="mysql? ( !sqlite ) !mysql? ( sqlite )" + +Note that the mysql/sqlite relationship is that of an Exclusive OR (XOR). While +an XOR can be formed from existing syntax, it's suggested that a specific +operator be added for this case using ^^. Reformatting the "mysql or sqlite, but +not both" with XOR results in: + +REQUIRED_USE="^^ ( mysql sqlite )" + +Like any block operator, this can be combined with other constraints. For +example if the user has flipped on the client flag, one gui must be choosen: + +REQUIRED_USE="client? ( ^^ ( gtk qt motif ) )" + +If the pkg is implemented sanely and requires at least one gui, but can support +multiple it would be: + +REQUIRED_USE="client? ( || ( gtk qt motif ) )" + +Because ARCH is integrated into the USE space, this also allows for specifying +corner cases like "at least one gui must be specified, but on mips only one gui +can be specified": + +REQUIRED_USE="client? ( !mips? ( || ( gtk qt motif ) ) mips? ( ^^ ( gtk qt +motif ) ) )" + +Please note that the AND operator is of course supported- if to enable client +you must choose at least one gui and enable the python bindings the syntax would +be: + +REQUIRED_USE="client? ( python || ( gtk qt motif x11 ) )" + +Finally, please note that this new metadata key can be set by eclasses, and the +inherit implementation should protect the eclass set value just the same as how +eclass defined DEPEND is protected. +Implementation + +Implementing this for EAPI4, currently 'few' (Sebastion Luther) has a working +git branch available at [portage-implementation] implementing this +functionality. + +For getting this implemented in pkgcore, the author of the glep will handle it. +As for paludis, presumably they can manage it due to MYOPTIONS existing in +exheres already. + +Backwards Compatibility +======================= + +EAPI already makes this a non issue for backwards compatibility.
