Emerge vmware-workstation without vmware-modules, add USE="modules" #43

Closed Massimo-B closed 6 years ago

Massimo-B commented 6 years ago

app-emulation/vmware-workstation-12.5.9.7535481::vmware currently depends on app-emulation/vmware-modules-308.5.9::vmware which fails to emerge:

 * Failed Patch: 279-312.patch !
 *  ( /etc/portage/patches//app-emulation/vmware-modules/279-312.patch )

But vmware-workstation does not always need the modules, for instance if only being used as frontend to the ESX remote servers like a VSphere client. In that case it would be useful to be able to install the workstation without modules. Please make that option being a USE flag.

I cannot reproduce the problem, it seems to me that the patch is inside /etc/portage/patches/ so it's a custom patch for your system loaded by eapply_user(), it's not a problem of the ebuild in the overlay

Sorry, was caused by /etc/portage/patches/ indeed and fixed by clearing this.
