From the gentoo-dev list:
Quote:
I just marked 2.0.53 stable on x86. See
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108082 for details. You can check the various dependencies of this bug for the bug fixes that went into this release. This release includes at least one new program.

pena jamvm # emaint --help
usage: emaint [options] all | world

Currently emaint can only check and fix problems with one's world file. Future versions will integrate other portage check-and-fix tools and provide a single interface to system health checks.

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c, --check check for problems
-f, --fix attempt to fix problems

Regards,
Petteri Räty (Betelgeuse)

And is the slowness of portage syncing already fixed, with a new algorithm?

Tell me what is wrong with this:

--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.unmask: >=dev-db/mysql-4.1*
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.unmask: >=mail-mta/postfix-2.2*


It used to work with the older versions..

And what must I change or is it a bug ?

Thanks in advance

Kurt

That syntax was deprecated months ago because it's ambiguous.

Yup, and now it doesn't.

No bug. Just mask out what you don't want via package.mask (presuambly you want to mask out <4.1.10 and >=4.1.20, for example).

Here is the explanation from Feedback wanted: portage config validator

Quote:
>=foo-1* doesn't create any problems yet, but it's kind of a contradiction:
- >= means use this version or any version greater than it
- * means use any version that starts with this prefix (simplified, it's a bit more restricted)

so if you have >=foo-1*, would it match foo-2.1 ? If you say yes then you don't need the *, if you say no you want =, not >=. That's why we decided it is invalid.

It seems this is in 2.1_pre1. (~arch)

(Well, I upgraded to it a bit ago, and syncing is now incredibly fast. Maybe it's just because the new cache format hasn't had a chance to get bogged down, but I'm pretty sure it's been fixed.)

It also seemed faster to me. But time will tell.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to work this way, but when I do
Code:
emerge -Duvat world

I get prompted to do a
Code:
emaint --check world
and it complains
Code:
Checking world for problems

'sys-boot/grub' has no ebuilds available
'app-admin/syslog-ng' has no ebuilds available


Finished

and my
Code:
/etc/portage/package.keywords
looks like
Code:
sys-boot/grub ~amd64
app-admin/syslog-ng ~amd64


Hence, keyworded packages are not supported, or am I doing something wrong?

I saw a post with an error like that, and I suffered from it too...

it worked with

Code:
 emaint --fix world



So far I must say that it pretty faster that the previous version! :twisted:

It seems that the new Portage is complaining, if packages previously in "stable" have been moved to "testing" or something similar. Running "emaint" should fix all the complaints.

let me guess - are symlinks fixed, or does this version of portage require the user to apply a patch in order to be able to compile glibc 2.3.6?

Code:
emaint --fix world
simply removes the packages from world. Not quite what I wanted...
Desired would be for them to be 'accepted' into world when I unmask them imho.
Is this intentional? Am I lost about this?

One of the packages showing up as gone when I do the emaint -c world is divx4linux. It is also now missing as a use flag in /usr/portage/profiles/use.* but my mplayer install depends on it. Is this not needed anymore or covered by something else?

Divx4linux is gone:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/32112

edit: That means: You may want to remove it from your system and rebuild mplayer / check with revdep-rebuild in general if something else broke.

I'm having some difficulties with this new version. For some reason, eveything I setup in package.keywords, and other package.* files is an "invalid atom", or whatever.
For instance, how do I tell portage I want to emerge vanilla-sources-2.6.13.4 (even though it's marked ~testing and it's not the latest one) ?

Just like you would have before this version, i.e.:
/etc/portage/package.keywords:
Code:
=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.13.4
followed by
Code:
emerge =sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.13.4

Thanks, that did it, of course. I didn't notice I had invalid package syntax in package.keywords.
My mistake.

Yikes! I had all HELL break loose when I emerged the new version of portage onto an older box. The pretend emerge showed 2 packages being updated: pax-utils and portage. Much to my amazement the emerge.log shows that after emerging portage four ebuilds were purged: man-pages, zlib, grep, and bash. 8O

Now the box is totally b0rked and I'm looking for 586 rescue binaries...

Since
Code:
>=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.0*
is now deprecated, how would I go about masking all vmware-workstation packages version 5.0 and greater? Normally I would mask the the oldest of the version 5.0 packages, however, every time a new revision of vmware-workstation is released, the older ones are removed. For example, currently I could do
Code:
 >=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.0.0.13124-r5
But when -r6 comes out, -r5 will be removed from portage.

Excellent, I didn't know you could put in a version number that doesn't exist. So the asterisk is simply unnecessary, the desired behavior occurs by just taking it out. Out of curiosity, when was that behavior marked deprecated, and was there any notice (other than emerge notes)?
UncleOwen wrote:

If the method that you described above did not work, you would have to put in actual package versions (ie.: 5.0.0.13124-r5). But if that package does not exist, portage will not know to mask anything. Of course, that situation is now irrelevant.

Hi,

since updating Portage to v2.0.53 emerge is playing "Ping Pong" with some files:

Code:
emerge -a --depclean

*** WARNING ***  --depclean is known to be broken. It is highly recommended
*** WARNING ***  that `emerge --update --newuse --deep world` be ran before
*** WARNING ***  commencing. However, using --depclean may still break link
*** WARNING ***  level consistency within your system. `revdep-rebuild`
*** WARNING ***  from app-portage/gentoolkit can help to detect breakage.

Did you run emerge --update --newuse --deep world before? If yes, try to find out what requires those ebuilds with emerge -pvut world.

Btw, i never used emerge -aquvDN world myself, what sense would --newuse and --upgrade at the same time have?
