|
|
I know this is a simple problem, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out.
I want to emerge the 9999 version of freecad.
I put the following line in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords, but it did not work.
=media-gfx/freecad-9999
Can somebody show me the correct syntax to build the 9999?
TIA! _________________ Casey Bralla

Try
Code: |
media-gfx/freecad **
|
in package.accept_keywords
Then
Code: |
emerge -av media-gfx/freecad

| This will allow you to install that version once it is keyworded as unstable for your architecture. By convention, live ebuilds are never keyworded stable or unstable for any architecture, so this ebuild is not unstable, and thus your entry does not match. Your entry would have worked if you only wanted an unstable ebuild. The ** entry is special. Per man 5 portage: man 5 portage: | In addition to the normal values from ACCEPT_KEYWORDS
package.keywords supports three special tokens:
* package is visible if it is stable on any architecture
~* package is visible if it is in testing on any architecture
** package is always visible (KEYWORDS are ignored completely) | This is why it worked even though the live ebuild has no stable or unstable keywords. |
