 Posted: Sun Jun 05, 2005 1:38 pm Post subject: Emerge -uDN world command questions |
 |
|
I'm running Open-Xchange and followed http://www.mikefetherston.ca/OX/html/index.html for guidance. Everything is working great, however following these directions it seems he likes to run an older version of postgresql and jdbc3-postgresql.
The first question is I'd like to exclude dev-db/postgresql and dev-java/jdbc3-postgresql from my emerge -puDN world list. How could I go about doing this?
My second question is I already upgraded app-text/docbook-xml-dtd and dev-java/servletapi, however it still shows up everytime in my emerge -puDN world command. app-text/docbook-xml-dtd actually shows up twice! Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
| Code: | myserver root # emerge -puDN world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] dev-db/postgresql-8.0.1-r3 [7.4.7-r2]
[ebuild NS ] app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.2-r1
[ebuild U ] dev-java/servletapi-2.3-r2 [2.3-r1]
[ebuild NS ] app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r5
[ebuild NS ] dev-java/jdbc3-postgresql-7.3 |
I'd like to run emerge -uDN world to keep my system up-to-date without upgrading individual items.
Thanks for any help on this! |

did you try /etc/portage/package.mask ?
| Code: | package.mask
A list of DEPEND atoms to mask. Useful if specific ver-
sions of packages do not work well for you. For example,
you swear by the Nvidia drivers, but only versions ear-
lier than 1.0.4496. No problem!
Format:
- comments begin with #
- one DEPEND atom per line
Example:
# mask out versions 1.0.4496 of the nvidia
# drivers and later
>=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496
>=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4496
|
so, add to / create the file with :
| Code: | | >=dev-db/postgresql-8.0.1-r3 |
for more informations : man portage
for your app-text/docbook-xml-dtd problem :
if you look carefuly, there is 2 different slots, that's not a problem.

I'm having the same problem with dev-java/servletapi. I have unmerged the existing versions and re-emerged the latest version of the package, but now it lists in "emerge -puDN" as if no such package is installed. Yet, when I emerge it, everything installs successfully.
Thoughts? Anyone? |

FYI, the dev-java/servletapi problem was resolved with this sequence...
| Code: | emerge unmerge dev-java/servletapi
emerge sync
emerge dev-java/servletapi
