 |
|
Where is the intended place for me to put my own local selection of package version "masks" (ie. I want version x.y.z only) and not get them overwritten by an "emerge rsync"?
It looks like "world" should be the spot, but I'd appreciate confirmation before I learn the hard way!
Thanks,
Nigel.
PS: (And by the way, is anyone else having compile failures for php-4.2.0 in the 1.1a tree? Something to do with not finding "javac"). |

This is (IMO) somewhat of a glaring oversight in portage. Here's what I do (as suggested by someone on the mailing list):
| Code: | | cp -r /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0 /etc/make.profile |
Normally, /etc/make.profile is a symlink to the /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0 directory (or whatever profile you happen to be using) so this effectively removes it from the portage directory structure.
Another option would be to create your own profile, such as:
| Code: | | /usr/portage/profiles/MyCustomProfile-1.0/ |
That won't get overwritten with an 'emerge rsync', but it will get overwritten if you do 'emerge --clean rsync', so be careful with that.

If you're not using java on your machine, set '-java' as a USE variable.

Yeah, I'll go back and do that. I' was just a little surprised at this as these were the "out-of-the-box" USE variables ...
