 Posted: Mon May 22, 2017 7:33 pm Post subject: USE-flags for git-sources - Put them in make.conf? |
 |
|
USE-flags for git-sources, it requires | Code: | | USE="-build -symlink" |
Should i enable these in /etc/portage/make.conf? Or in package.use/sys-kernel/git-sources-4.12_rc1
Thinking it's the kernel if it differs some how according to USE-flag settings?
The whole output
| Code: | gentoo@gentoo ~ $ sudo emerge --ask --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse sys-kernel/git-sources
Password:
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ~] sys-kernel/git-sources-4.12_rc1 USE="-build -symlink"
The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by sys-kernel/git-sources (argument)
=sys-kernel/git-sources-4.12_rc1 ~amd64
Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] y
Autounmask changes successfully written.
* IMPORTANT: config file '/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords' needs updating.
* See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
* sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.

The regular gentoo-sources and vanilla-sources, really all the kernel sources have those same USE flags. So the question you have to answer is, "Do I want those USE flags set differently for different kernel sources?" If not, then put 'em in make.conf. If so, though, then there are those other places. In general:- make.conf is for USE flags (and other things) that you want to apply to everything.
- package.use is for USE flags that you want to be different on a package-by-package basis.
One more point. USE flag settings made in package.use override settings in make.conf.

Thank you, i didn't mind the useflags. I just merged the conf-files using etc-update.
But anyhow, i have selected eselect kernel set 2 (the new git-sources-4.12_rc1) and
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig, but it states | Code: | | Linux/x86 4.9.16-gentoo Kernel Configuration |
Why would i like to conf my old kernel?
I thought i was going to conf the new one, eg. "Linux/x86 4.12_rc1-gentoo Kernel Configuration"
Am i missing some fundamental stuff here? Or am i just misunderstanding the concept.
The step i took was:
| Code: |
emerge --ask --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse sys-kernel/git-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
cp .config ~/kernel-config-`uname -r`
eselect kernel set 2
cp /boot/config-4.9.16-gentoo /usr/src/linux/.config
make menuconfig
|
And there i read that i'm confing the old kernel 4.9.16
I think when i get a grip on this it will be a lot easier next time |

One fundamental thing, yes. When you copy a config file like that, you need to convert it to the new kernel source. This is easy, though, as there's a make target for it. Just runand answer all the questions. The default (pressing <Enter>) is usually just fine, although you may want to do a bit of reading as the questions go by.

Now I'm beginning to feel like a help vampire. Sorry. I'll do my reading, trying and perhaps breaking stuff before asking.
Ah, i was thinking of that, but wasnt sure. There's silent config aswell. Ill try first thing tomorrow, it's late evening here in Sweden. |

It was fairly simple. Everything works (i did forget rebuild the modules, but hey, not failing = not learning) 
Now i'm proudly on 4.12.0-rc1 and everything is working just flawless.
Thanks for your support, and sorry me asking b e f o r e at least trying. Lesson learned
