Hi,

With Tiger a few days away from being released (actually some lucky ones have reported that they already received their copy in the mail, but some mistake of MacMall and others :). I wondered if anybody had a chance to test and see what Portage does on this new version. I recon that the python version that ships with Tiger is 2.3.5, and that gcc defaults to 4.0 (with 3.3 still avail as well). Also, I am not sure the same portage profile can be used for Tiger....

Any brave(&lucky) soul out there?

Thanks!

I can't say that I've had too much luck so far. Maybe I should narrow down that statement a little: I haven't had too much luck yet, using GCC 4.0. I had to switch the default GCC in order to manage to install some programs. Maybe I'm just unlucky since I've not reinstalled portage, but just relinked the make.profile file. :)

I used Gentoo on Tiger all throughout the beta cycle for Tiger...

There are some things which require some work, but in general I can get things to build.

Not sure that's a specific answer, but yeah, it basically works for me.

I have a really great co-worker who has built a lot of packages for Tiger via DarwinPorts, so I spent today trying to learn that system. After becoming proficient in Gentoo portage, it is a bit painful to use something else!

I just installed portage on tiger on a new machine. Had to mask out sys-libs/readline in package.mask before "emerge system" would work.
I've been using gentoo x86 for over a year now as my only system. And it's hands down the best software management system there is, I do not use it because it's source based, that just a bonus, a really nice one though.
On tiger, compiling stuff, mmm ... not so lucky.

But what strikes me most is that (almost) everything is masked.

One question, what architecture should I use in package.keywords,
should it be:
Code:
media-video/mplayer ppc

or should it be:
Code:
media-video/mplayer ppc-macos


not so clear for me at this moment,
because the former starts (!!) compiling but does not end, but the latter exists, but does not work (masked packages).
Maybe I have an error somewhere in my setup?

thx,
roel

you need to use ppc-macos
typically it goes like this
Code:
sudo ekeyword ppc-macos /absolute/path/to/package.ebuild
sudo emerge package

Hello, I'm new to gentoo (and portage) I'm having the exact same problem. Most places online seem to think that trying to unmask a hard masked package isn't a good idea. I got around the problem of the keyword mask, but need a bit of help on this step. Thanks in advance!
