 |

I am trying to install xfree-drm. If I do an "emerge search xfree-drm", this is what I get:
| Quote: | Searching...
[ Results for search key : xfree-drm ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* x11-base/xfree-drm [ Masked ]
Latest version available: 4.3.0-r1
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of downloaded files: 187 kB
Homepage: http://www.xfree.org
Description: Xfree86 Kernel DRM modules
|
This is the newest version and the one I want to compile. It is not in the package.mask file and when I use "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge search xfree-drm", I get this:
| Quote: | * x11-base/xfree-drm
Latest version available: 4.3.0
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of downloaded files: 215 kB

I can unmask the 4.3.0 version, but it won't compile properly. How do I unmask the 4.3.0-r1 version and compile it?
I already tried this:
| Quote: | localhost root # emerge x11-base/xfree-drm-4.3.0-r1.ebuild
Calculating dependencies \emerge: create(): aux_get() error on root/xfree-drm-4.3.0-r1; aborting... |
Thanks for any replies. |

xfree 4.3.0 is only masked by the keywords command. try an
that will update your packages to enable -r1 in keywords then just:
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xfree-drm |
the "aux_get" error, also might be from an earlier version of portage, you might want to run a
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge portage |
good luck |

I tried this, but I still cannot emerge 4.3.0-r1 because I can't unmask it.
Why is it that some masked packages are shown when I just type "emerge -s ..." and other masked packages are shown when I type "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -s ..." |

It usually depends on whether or not there are any stable (unmasked) alternatives. |
