 |
|
hello,
how is it possible to emerge a 'masked' package (namely eclipse-SDK)? i NEED this one. is it unsafe to emerge masked packages, or are they unstable?
and another question: is it safe to emerge in two KDE console windows at the same time or may this cause errors? |

First question:
Yes you can emerge masked packages. There are many ways to do it. One way would be to specify the specific ebuild explicitly like this
| Code: | | emerge /usr/portage/dev-util/eclipse-SDK-xxx.ebuild |
(where the -xxx is the correct version you want)
also alternatively you can also use this command to temporarily accept masked packages
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge eclipse-SDK |
Second question:
In lots of cases you can get away with doing that, but not for long. In general, don't do it. I did this a whole lot when I was first using Gentoo, eventually it backfired in a very huge way and hosed up my sandbox. Just avoid doing it and instead string builds onto one command into one terminal. You know something like this:
| Code: | | emerge app1 thenapp2 anotherprog1 somestuffhere anotherthere etc |
