A bunch of stuff now requires static-libs USE flag

[klipkyle]

Hello,

While running world updates in Funtoo 1.4 today, I noticed that cryptsetup is now built in a static configuration.  (See FL-6642.)  This caused emerge to complain about some USE flags that needed to be added to package.use.

I added the below entries to package.use, and all was fine after that.  However, I wonder why is this not detected automatically?  Should these USE changes be in one of Funtoo's profiles?

kyle@perkins ~ $ emerge -puDN @world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Yeah, might be a good idea to file an improvement request to add to profiles. If you're not using any type of LUKS or encrypted root or home etc, you could always add -static to cryptsetup in package.use. Maybe a cool idea to add a new mix-in for all this, to go along with the documentation that needs upgraded ? There is an open bug for this maybe I'll add to it.

I'm using neither on this system.  I suppose I can go back to a dynamically-linked cryptsetup, but I understand why one might want cryptsetup to be statically linked (no LD_LIBRARY_PATH attacks).

[drobbins]

@klipkyle yeah, that's not good, my mistake. I will look into a solution.

[drobbins]

I am adding an encrypted-root mix-in and undoing the previous change that required a ton of stuff to be static. Sorry about that -- that was an ugly mess. I forgot that making cryptsetup static would make all of its dependencies also need to be static.

[drobbins]

OK, I cleaned up this mess. No more static stuff should need to be manually turned on now. Here is a summary of the changes I made:

• cryptsetup now has USE static turned off by default
• genkernel now has cryptsetup turned off by default
• new encrypted-root mix-in to enable when you want LUKS that will flip all the necessary switches

Just ran ego sync and emerge is complaining

json-c does not need the static-libs USE flag unless you have set static-libs for the package cryptsetup. Or use the mix-in encrypted-root.

If that is not the case for you, please check the emerge output. There should be more information about which package requires the USE flag to be set for json-c

This is not the case. My emerge output is https://pastebin.com/Pb8PTyWY

I did not mean the output of 'emerge --info'. I meant the output of the emerge that complained about json-c needing the static USE flag.

For some reason, genkernel did have cryptsetup set on. I turned it off and now emerge is working. Thanks.
