The other side of this is gentoo/gentoo#46407 |

Yes, thanks, this seems broadly correct. Also oops, I guess there were two people who independently discovered the same issue... I was under the mistaken impression that @bartoldeman was the person I suggested USE=build to, but apparently not... |
Gentoo prefix bootstrap needs to compile Python without support for zstd initially to avoid a circular dependency: python->zstd->meson->python Explicity setting USE=build now this chain. This is only needed for 3.14+, as older versions don't depend on zstd. gentoo/prefix#43 is needed to actually set USE=build when emerging python Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/977378 Signed-off-by: Bart Oldeman <bart.oldeman@calculquebec.ca>

Aha, there seems still quite a number of the prefix users ;) Hasn't look the PR list in gentoo/gentoo before... Anyhow, the other PR seems much better and thoroughly discussed, so I'm leaving the PR alone and close. |
|
This PR is still needed to ensure that USE=build is set inside the Prefix bootstrap. :) |
|
I saw what @grobian says we need a USE=build for the whole stage3 bootstrap? I'm uncertain about that as I don't really know the details what prefix stage3 does and what it may impacts, maybe I'll do some try first :O |
|
If we first get the Python changes merged, it's much easier to reason about the bootstrap flags :) |
|
I'd be in favour of first getting the bug fixed minimally, then to attempt uniform flags. So I'd reopen this, but put the build use flag in python-3.14.5.ebuild in alphabetical order to be more consistent with gentoo/gentoo#46407 |

Recently Gentoo makes the python3_14 the default target, which breaks the stage3 bootstraping, because Python 3.14 makes zstd part of stdlib, and building zstd requires meson with Python, so circular dependencies here:
Here is just a proposed fix way with USE=build flag to break the zstd requirements with Python (as ztrawhcse in IRC says) in stage3, and it works. But however, we need to patch all of the >=dev-lang/python-3.14 packages in upstream Gentoo ebuilds, so I think we may need to have more considerations?
P.S. I'm not sure whether to submit patches to Gentoo ebuilds :/
