qubes-core-qrexec-4.1.32 build fails in qubes 4.1 with "portageq is not allowed in ebuild scope"

sorry if you're already tracking this. probably related: https://bugs.gentoo.org/916296

you can work around this by replacing the portageq invocation in eclass/qubes.eclass with a hard-coded path to your qubes repo, but that's not ideal for a number of reasons (and the build still fails due to the _FORTIFY_SOURCE redefinition talked about in #12, which requires additional patching)

I saw the same issue today.
A new xorg update activated a qubes-gui-agent re-build which raised the above error message.
Portageq is deprecated in the eclass scope. I'm searching how to replace the portageq usage in qubes.eclass...

I'm searching how to replace the portageq usage in qubes.eclass...

I only found hacks:

1. hardcoded absolute path (i.e. : QUBES_OVERLAY_DIR="/var/db/repos/qubes"), see
2. portageq full path (i.e. : QUBES_OVERLAY_DIR="$(/usr/bin/portageq get_repo_path / qubes)"), see

and the least-worst solution :

1. a default path with an available override, see the gentooLTO workaround

Someone with a better solution ?

Resources:

1. Portageq depreciated, causes warnings while building anything InBetweenNames/gentooLTO#883

@colons could you test the now updated repository? And if solved, close this issue.

stuff still doesn't build (due to #12), but yes this issue appears to be solved. thank you
