Is there an existing such new check request for this?
Explain
followup from https://bugs.gentoo.org/968664
When I was updating my machine today, the following message was shown:
* Messages for package media-sound/alsa-tools-1.2.15-r1:
* CONFIG_CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG: is not set when it should be.
* Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
* Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems.
Looking further into this on other packages, the CONFIG_CHECK setting expects a bare kernel config option, without the CONFIG_ prefix explicitly stated, as the building system will prefix the stated values with the CONFIG_ at the time of checking them against the kernel config file.
Therefore the new check would be testing the contents of the CONFIG_CHECK variable, and if any of the values start with excessive CONFIG_ prefix the ebuild shall be rejected/reported as malformed.
Examples
I have discovered (at least) two violations, via:
/var/db/repos/gentoo $ grep -r -e CONFIG_CHECK= | grep '~CONFIG'
dev-libs/libugpio/libugpio-0.0.7-r1.ebuild:CONFIG_CHECK="~CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS"
media-sound/alsa-tools/alsa-tools-1.2.15-r1.ebuild:CONFIG_CHECK="~CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG"
(already patched as per linked Gentoo bug)
Output message
Kernel config options - excessive CONFIG_ prefix found in option name
Documentation
The kernel configuration options shall be stated in form that is seen eg. in menuconfig, without the CONFIG_ prefix that is present in the kernel configuration file.
Result level
error
