 Posted: Sun Feb 16, 2003 10:01 pm Post subject: Preventing Removal of Work Directory |
 |
|
| After a compile/install fails, how can I make a change to an ebuild file and not have the work directory removed after running ebuild again? What I'm trying to do is work on the install problem for mozilla-1.3b (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=35008), but whenever I try to make a change to the mozilla-1.3b.ebuild file, it recompiles everything. I've tried updating files in the build-info subdirectory, but it still detects the change and deletes the work directory. The emerge and ebuild man pages don't seem to have any relavent options. Any suggestions? |

I'm not sure I have undestood so forgive me if I'm pointing you wrong...
You could do the emerge steps by hand.
There are 3 steps, unpack, compile, emerge. You can do:
| Code: | | # emerge /usr/portage/[package_category]/[package]/[ebuild] unpack |
This unpacks the package to '/var/tmp/portage/[package]/work' and creates the file '.unpack' (or something like that) in '/var/tmp/portage/[package]' to tell emerge that the step has been done.
Then you can do | Code: | | # emerge /usr/portage/[package_category]/[package]/[ebuild] compile |
to compile and
| Code: | | # emerge /usr/portage/[package_category]/[package]/[ebuild] merge |
To merge.

| Well, I've tried that by using ebuild <file> install, but once the ebuild changes, portage will try to recompile from the start to fix any problems. So my problem how to fool portage into thinking the ebuild file hasn't changed. |
