 |
|
Hi,
you get always p*****, because portage wants to downgrade packages from unstable, but you want the unstable ones ? So, here's my solution:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
###############################################
## Gentoo World Upgrade Script
###############################################
## Should we rsync first?
echo "Rsync? [y/N]"
read yesno
if [ $yesno == y ] ; then
emerge rsync
fi
## Prevent downgrade of ~x86 (unstable) packages
# Actually there are 2 files needed
# This one is to be edited manually
# /etc/inject.persist : Files not shown as downgraded,
# but version of the file to be
# merged is lower than the installed one's
#
# /etc/inject : Files shown as to be downgraded will auto-
# magically be injected
emerge -pu world | grep D] | cut -d" " -f6 > /etc/inject
emerge -i `cat /etc/inject /etc/inject.persist`
## Show what would be merged
emerge -pu world
echo "Start the Upgrade? [Y/n]?"
read answer
## No Upgrade
if [ $answer == n ] ; then
emerge -C `cat /etc/inject /etc/inject.persist`
exit 1
## Upgrade
else
# Should we build Binaries for merged packages ?
echo "Build Binary Packages? [y/N]"
read answer
if [ answer == y ] ; then
build="-b"
else
build=""
fi
emerge -u $build world
emerge -C `cat /etc/inject /etc/inject.persist`
fi

Have Fun,

You can use emerge -pU world instead 
It was added it the new portage version. |

Good to hear that. BUT:
| Code: |
root@nillekind /usr/local/bin # emerge -pu world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] media-gfx/gimp-1.2.3-r3 [1.3.10]
[ebuild U ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123-r2 [1.0.4191-r1]
[ebuild UD] media-libs/freetype-2.1.2-r2 [2.1.3-r2]
[ebuild UD] media-libs/fontconfig-2.1 [2.1-r1]
[ebuild UD] x11-base/xfree-4.2.1-r2 [4.3.0]
[ebuild U ] dev-java/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1 [1.4.0-r2]
[ebuild U-] net-mail/ssmtp-2.48 [2.38.14-r1]
[ebuild U ] gnome-base/gnome-panel-1.4.2-r2 [2.2.0.1-r1]
[ebuild U ] net-irc/xchat-1.8.10-r1 [1.9.6]
|
| Code: |
root@nillekind /usr/local/bin # emerge -pU world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

Look at the gimp, xchat and gnome-panel versions. Portage will actually do a downgrade...BUG? Even though 2 versions can be installed, I don't want 2 of those packages installed....But at least this is a progress, anyways.

Same thing here... xfree still wants to be downgraded 
| Code: | seigneur@gtm seigneur $ emerge -pU world
