 Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 2:05 pm Post subject: make.conf, package.use, package.keywords are [solved] |
 |
|
I've got an annoying problem that is baffling me - perhaps someone can suggest a repair or cause?
I'm using /etc/portage/package.keywords and package.use files. I've got several entries in each. But some entries just have no effect. For example, if I put www-client/mozilla-firefox ~x86 (or ** or blank) in package.keywords, it will not pull in version 3. If however I use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv mozilla-firefox it will pull in version 3.
There's several applications that will not accept USE flags either via the package.use file, make.conf, or command line. For instance in my package.use file I have media-sound/ardour altivec vst and an emerge -avuDN world shows -altivec and -vst in the USE flags. So I put them in the USE section of make.conf and that has no effect. It also has no effect via command line in emerge (using USE="whatever")
However, if I rename or mv the package.keyword and use files, lots of other applications are affected so I know that they are working partially.

Try ~www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0, that gives you all revisions of 3.0.
But package.use should work anyway. |

Not sure what you mean by this. Use that line in package.keywords (doesn't work) or command line?
Thanks guys for the help! Here's the info:

I see that altivec, even though it is in my make.conf file, doesn't show up here. So maybe there is a problem with that particular flag. However, I was having the same problem with jack-tmpfs and jackmidi yesterday with jack-audio-connection-kit but today when I look at it, that app doesn't even show those use flags as options so I don't know what is going on now. Maybe a combo of weird behavior and pebcak (my mental problem).
cheers, Jim |

I assume that your firefox issue is due to something else depending on 2.x, and with the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS method you'd upgrade that package as well (just an educated guess).
For the USE issues, the flags you listed are likely masked: altivec is only available on ppc systems, and I don't see a vst use flag anywhere in the tree.
Unfotunately you haven't posted the exact commands you used (including "offending" output) so it's hard to say exactly. |

Perhaps, as with the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS method it wants to upgrade nspr and nss. But I seem to recall placing an app in the keywords file and having it pull in new updates. Or maybe it was just new, uninstalled libraries and the like? I remember some times I would get blocks when putting things in the keywords file - I just assumed it would take care of dependencies. This is unexpected behavior for me but if that's the way it works, I'll adjust.
Well, I just tried it - I placed nspr and nss in the keyword file and now it will update firefox. (I think I'll wait though 'til it hits stable.)
And now that I think about it, the USE problem with jack-audio-connection-kit may have been because of the pro-sound overlay. Because that app did have flags of vst, sndfile, jackmidi, and jack-tmpfs, which the one in portage apparently doesn't have. I had removed all overlays to troubleshoot my problem and when testing, for some reason I must have still been pulling in the jack-audio-connection-kit ebuild from the overlay, whereas today I'm not.
So I'll mark it solved.
(I just added back the pro-audio overlay and that jack app is pulling in the use flags I wanted but weren't getting yesterday. I have no idea what happened.) Probably pebcak. (problem exists between chair and keyboard) |
