So I have come accross my first collision and I have no idea how I am to deal with it... Here is the error I get
Code:
* checking 9 files for package collisions
existing file /sbin/functions.sh is not owned by this package
* spent 0.0034601688385 seconds checking for file collisions
* This package is blocked because it wants to overwrite
* files belonging to other packages (see messages above).
* If you have no clue what this is all about report it
* as a bug for this package on http://bugs.gentoo.org

package sys-apps/baselayout-darwin-1.11.11-r1 NOT merged


Anybody know what I should do?

/sbin/functions.sh is a gentoo file, so you can overwrite it without damaging your OS X
the solution for your problem is turning the collision protection off

to do this for one run of emerge you gotta do:
Code:
# sudo FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge {portage,foo,whatever}


if you had searched the forums, you had probably found robinmdh's problems and the solution for yours ;)

PS: oh, I forgot the for OS X (mostly) needed sudo :oops:
