 Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 2:55 pm Post subject: How to tell Portage to ignore all linux-sources |
 |
|
emerge wants to merge the linux-sources. I have blacklisted the linux-source meta packages because I build my own sources from kernel.org. I'm sure there is a way to do this but, can you tell emerge to ignore all linux-sources/kernel ebuilds?
Example:
[ebuild N ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7.10 USE="-build -deblob -symlink"
[ebuild N #] virtual/linux-sources-1 USE="-firmware"
It's obnoxious because it pulls the sources down but they never get used because the /usr/src/linux set with eselect kernel is pointing to some other custom kernel source directory. Search against the forums do not bring up anything relevant. |

Maybe you need something like this : | Code: | # cat /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
# package.provided
#
sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.7.9
|
(OT but BTW - are you really need an animated avatar ?) |

Probably better to put the virtual in package.provided.

Sure ?
With these settings : | Code: | # cat /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
# package.provided
#
#sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.7.9
virtual/linux-sources-0
|
I get this | Code: | [nomerge ] virtual/linux-sources-0
[ebuild N ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7.10 USE="-build -deblob -symlink"

I found (googling) that someone had created a dummy-sources a while back.
I copied virtual/linux-sources-0 to my local portage and added
| Code: | | sys-kernel/dummy-sources |
to it, inside the RDEPEND
then added a file /sys-kernel/dummy-sources/dummy-sources-3.4.10.ebuild
and ran ebuild manifest against it.
dummy-sources-3.4.10.ebuild

It doesn't prompt me to put down sources that I never use anyway (I build my own kernel also)
Edit to add: I've since upgraded the kernel to 3.8.1 but it doesn't complain about it.
