 Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2015 1:04 pm Post subject: portage appears to be under revision control (contains .git) |
 |
|
I'm trying to install Gentoo in a local disk but in the part "Configuring Portage" I have a problem with
| Code: | # emerge --sync
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'...
!!! /usr/portage appears to be under revision control (contains .git).
!!! Aborting rsync sync.
|
My gentoo.conf file in repos.conf is:
| Code: | [DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo
[gentoo]
location = /usr/portage
sync-type = rsync
sync-uri = rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/
auto-sync = yes
|
After I delete the .git* folders and files "emerge --sync" works but it downloads again .git* files and folders, the next "emerge --sync" throws again the same error. I guess it must be an error of mirroring of git repository central but I don't see any information about this error in Internet. In my server I have installed Gentoo since a long time and today the same problem is happening. |

Same problem here :
| Code: |
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'...
!!! /usr/portage appears to be under revision control (contains .git).
!!! Aborting rsync sync (override with "sync-rsync-vcs-ignore = true" in repos.conf).
* IMPORTANT: 3 config files in '/etc' need updating.
* See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge
* man page to learn how to update config files.
* IMPORTANT: 20 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.

What's happening ? |

Thanks to this forum post I discovered a solution (so far). In my case important files were suddenly missing.
After reading https://oper.io/?p=gentoo:converting_portage_to_git i decided to check my repos.conf file and found out that it had disappeared. In fact the entire directory /etc/portage/repos.conf was gone. After recreating this directory and then the file by | Code: | | cp /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf /etc/portage/repos.conf |
I started removing all .git directories form /usr/portage it is now back to normal. |

Thanx Helena!!!!
In my case issue solved by "rm -R /usr/portage/.git"
(repos.conf was still there) |

| That's not really a solution, that's just switching back to using Git. The problem is that the rsync mirrors have been polluted with some git metadata by, presumably, an accidental commit. It'll get fixed soon enough, but it's probably made it onto loads of production Gentoo installations by now... |

Helena ... I don't think those issues are related, I'm not sure why you think they are. Note that in the OP simonbcn also removed .git but they are replaced on the next --sync ... so, its unlikely this is not also the case for you. The issue, which I can say has only occured in the past 24hrs (as I'm similarly effected), is entirely to do with things on the rsync repo you're syncing from and so its out of your control.

No need to worry. Just delete the .git directory and everything is fine. |

@pigeon768: Ah I see. A temporary problem, as I would have expected.
@khayyam: you could be right. There is no way I can tell. Thanks. |

More and more of this sort of thing lately. I believe it's caused by what we used to call "cowboy programmers". |

same here.
This configuration at first sync fails
| Code: | [DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo
[gentoo]
location = /usr/portage
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo.git
auto-sync = yes
|
but renaming "gentoo" module (e.g. : gentoo-1 or something else) , works
| Code: | [DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo-1
[gentoo-1]
location = /usr/portage
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo.git
auto-sync = yes
|
back to "gentoo"
| Code: | [DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo
[gentoo]
location = /usr/portage
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo.git
auto-sync = yes
|
still works

Pushing untested stuff straight to deployment isn't a mistake; it's straight-up negligence. |

I switched to git and run "emaint -a" but now if I run eix-update I get "eix reading category empty" on [0] "gentoo" 
I already removed /var/cache/eix but it didn't help, any idea?

With git, you have to create the metadata cache locally by using egencache --update --repo=gentoo. IIRC, you can activate this by editing some example postsync-hook files. Probably there is a howto somewhere. |

I'm sorry, but I got tired of rsync and after the "contains .git" error I saw this thread and I decided to switch.
Your suggestion did help, I'm using the postsync hooks now. Are there any downsides? Does it support portage news? Last time I heard it didn't.
