Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 8:13 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Old version of Perl v5.8.8 howto use testing branch |
|
|
Hi,
I am installing MythTv and have problems with XMLTV, I read that it can be the version of Perl that is the problem.
I looked in my Ubuntu instalation were XMLTV is working and there I have perl v5.10.0.
But my brand new Gentoo installation only have v5.8.8.
How come that Gentoo have that old version of Perl? Have I some setting wrong? Is it possible to upgrade to v5.10.0?
Any ideas?
Best regards,
/Christer

It's currently in the testing branch in Portage. If you need it, you need to keyword it. See Mixing Software Branches in the Handbook.
If you haven't done so already, emerge gentoolkit. It has tools that show you all available package versions: Code: | ~ # equery list -p -e perl
[ Searching for package 'perl' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] dev-lang/perl-5.10.1 (0)
* Portage tree (/usr/portage)
[-P-] [ ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r8 (0) |

Ok, thank you.
I will take a look at how to do that.
But first I will try to find out if that is really the problem that XMLTV do not work as it should in MythTV.

No luck in getting this to work.
In directory /etc/portage/package.keywords I created a file that I called perl
In that file I added the line Quote: | dev-lang/perl ~amd64
|
But when I run Code: | emerge dev-lang/perl
|
It start to emerge dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r8 not 5.10.0 I was hoping for.
What is it that I am not doing right?
How to uppgrade to the testing branch perl-5.10.0?
Thank you.
Regards,
/Christer |

Thanks, would have been great if it was only that.
But I do still have v5.8.8
Can I se in some way if I enable testing branch for perl?

In the directory /etc/portage/package.keywords I created a file that I called perl with
Quote: | dev-lang/perl ~amd64
|
But in when look at
I se Quote: | 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 x86_64
|
Should I write
Quote: | dev-lang/perl ~x86_64

I confess I don't know exactly what's going on. Let's try to emerge the new version explicitly. Try Code: | emerge =perl-5.10.1 | and let's see what it complains about.

Hi,
I tried Code: |
emerge =perl-5.10.1
|
It gives me:

It looks like one package have been masked dev-lang/perl-5.10.1
should I add that in my "perl" file that I created in directory /etc/portage/package.keywords ? |

Delete the line you currently have in there and then put exactly this: Code: | =dev-lang/perl-5.10.1*
=sys-devel/libperl-5.10.1* | then try agan and let me know what happens.

doh you need app-admin/perl-cleaner-2.0
this is dangerous but you can do
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge -u perl _________________ ex: Gentoo Linux Developer: amd64 media-optical sound gnome

Now you're getting the iterative nature of keywording an unstable package's dependencies. Add Code: | app-admin/perl-cleaner | to your package.keywords file. Try again. If you get another blocker, then keyword it. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Now it looks like I have right version on Perl so maybe XMLTV will work in my MythTV setup.
Thanks a lot for all help with this!
