 Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2018 2:21 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Portage: Where are the gentoo (kernel) sources? |
 |
|
Hallo guys.
After using Sabayon for a long while, I will start to use pure Gentoo.
So, I visited the (German version of) Gentoo handbook to install Gentoo on a laptop.
Despite some essential problems like locale (cannot change to German keyboard),
I decided to select the profile: default/linux/amd64/17.0/systemd (stable).
I achieved to create a bootable hard disk (no UEFI) and when I wanted to choose a kernel (source) with | Code: | | emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources |
then I only receive one result: | Code: | | [ebuild R ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.9.95 |
Anyway, I installed and compiled these sources with
| Code: | make menuconfig
make
make install |
I did not use genkernel because I have a single btrfs partition, for root (/) and everything among,
so, no separate partition else. And, after creating and installing grub, I could boot into a terminal.
So my question is: Where are all the other (Gentoo) kernel sources, 4.10 or up?
Thank you in advance.

Portage always installs the latest unmasked version, so one version is all you ever get because there's always only one latest version. To answer your question, all the other versions are there: | Code: | ~ # equery list -p '>gentoo-sources-4.9.95'

As to why all the later versions are currently masked, see this.

|
|
Ok, John, thank you.
I installed app-portage/gentoolkit and could execute your command equery then.
And now, how to unmask the 'masked' sources and then to install?
I tried to install with:
| Code: | | emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.17.0 |
and received this:
| Code: | | !!! 'sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.17.0' is not a valid package atom. |
I mean, the post with the reasons for the masking was in December of last year.
Now, we have June 2018 and latest version of Kernel is 4.17.
And, in Sabayon, Kernel 4.16 is published in standard repo.
Thanks again.

linuxfluesterer,
If you want to give a version to emerge use a comparison operator too.
| Code: | | emerge --ask =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.17.0 |
That will get rid of the | Code: | | !!! 'sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.17.0' is not a valid package atom. |
error.
As sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.17.0 is keyword masked, you will need to keyword it.
Wen you keyword sys-kernel/gentoo-sources (without a version) you will always be offered the latest testing version.

So sad to say. I acheived to get rid of the message "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.17.0' is not a valid package atom." and could install this kernel.
Well, I thought, learned again something. Ok, then I checked for new sources with: | Code: | | eshowkw gentoo-sources |
and saw, there is a new kernel-source for 4.17.1.
So, I want to (for distcc test) emerge the source codes for gentoo-sources-4.17.1, and, believe it or not, I received the same error:
| Code: | | sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.17.1' is not a valid package atom. |
I'm not sure, I did update all necessary files... What else can I have forgotten to do?

Show the command line which elicited the error for one thing.  It's likely you repeated the same mistake.

linuxfluesterer ... a "valid package atom" is one of the following:
| Code: | # emerge --ask =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.17.1
# emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.17.1
# emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
# emerge --ask gentoo-sources |
Note the "=" in the first example ... which is required as (it seems) you're providing 'version'. There are also situations in which 'slots' are valid atoms (as seen in the second example), so 'python:2.7' is valid, but 'dev-lang/python-2.7.14-r1' would not be (as it's missing the '=' anchor).

Oh, what a shame, my mistake. I wrote a slash in the package's name -> sys/kernel.... instead of a minus '-'. Now I corrected to:
| Code: | | emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.17.1 |
...and, what wonder, now the sources appear and can be merged. I'm really sorry, and thank you for patience and good advice.

This discussion is ancient. There is 4.14 stabilization bug opened in early March when that gcc issue was solved. For the last month or so there is just simply no action, while all issues seems have been resolved.

I'm not sure where to tell --oneshot.
But I understand, that the search will be extended into the world file, another repository, I assume.

Just on the command line
