 Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 10:58 am Post subject: [SOLVED]/etc/portage/package.use directory and dispatch-conf |
 |
|
Some of the crossdev tools I emerged required that package.use was a diretory rather than a file. Hence I switched to the /etc/portage/ directory structure even though I find it somewhat confusing. I can't seem to find this documented anywhere either (e.g. not in emerge(1) or portage(5)). My problem is that it appears that dispatch-conf gets confused by this structure as I get the following error when I run it and try to use it:
| Code: |
dispatch-conf
...

m merge, t toggle-merge, l look-merge:

os.rename(archive + '.dist.new', archive + '.dist')
OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory

It also seems like something got messed up when I run:
| Code: | | emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse world --autounmask-write |
I expected (but as I said I'm confused about what the correct directory structure is) use flags for courier-authlib to go to:
| Code: | | /etc/portage/package.use/net-libs/courier-authlib |
But this file gets filled with other use flags as well:
| Code: | cat /etc/portage/package.use/net-libs/courier-authlib
net-libs/courier-authlib -sqlite

So where can I find documentation on the portage directory structure and clean up this mess?

It seems like I have misunderstood the structure. One should only use hierarchy whenever required, and use /etc/portage/package.use/package.use for the rest. I thought one always had to use full package hierarchy under /etc/portage/package.use.
The only place where I have to use hierarchy is for the crossdev toolchain:
| Code: | | /etc/portage/package.use/cross-armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi |
So this is solved, but I still be happy with some pointer to some documentation about this. |

Any file in this directory that begins with "package." can be more than just a flat file. If it is a directory, then all the files in that directory will be sorted in ascending alphabetical order by file name and summed together as if it were a single file. |
