 Posted: Thu May 08, 2025 6:34 am Post subject: Question about packages with missing keyword |
 |
|
Using UTM to run virtual machines on iOS and gentoo arm64 as a guest.
As an example I want install app-editors/sublime-text
| Code: | These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 0.82 s (backtrack: 0/20).
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "app-editors/sublime-text" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-editors/sublime-text-4_p4192::gentoo (masked by: missing keyword)
- app-editors/sublime-text-4_p4189::gentoo (masked by: missing keyword)
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
I do understand that this means a package is not provided for the used arch (in this case arm64).
1. What needs to be done or can be done?
2. What does this mean to other packages? Is the availability for this arch limited and thus using gentoo is limited compared to other archs?

The package maintainer probably doesn't have an arm64 system so he hasn't been able to test the package on that arch.
Keyword it for yourself: create a file /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/sublime-text with contents:
| Code: | | =app-editors/sublime-text-4_p4192 ** |
If the package compiles and works fine, you could open a bug report with a request to keyword it in the repo. |

With a source based package usually you can try to add app-editors/sublime-text ** entry in package.accept_keywords to see if compile with your arch.
It's possibile that a keyword is not added because not tested.
In this case this workaround doesn't work because sublime-text download a compiled package for amd64, the solution is change ebuild to add the arm64 keywords because exists also a linux version for this keyword.

For such packages on my arm64 system, I've set them to accept amd64 keyword up to certain version.
For example: | Code: | | <app-editors/sublime-text-4_p9999 amd64 |
So then you get the stable versions for amd64 for your arm64. So far this has worked on my use-cases. Although, I haven't installed this exact package on my arm64 system.

Ah, thx so far.
It looks like that the ebuilds https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-editors/sublime-text do only download the x64 package
| Code: | | SRC_URI=" amd64? ( https://download.sublimetext.com/sublime_text_build_${MY_PV}_x64.tar.xz )" |
But https://www.sublimetext.com/download does provide (after a click on direct downloads after Linux repos) an arm package.
Next step would be to create a ebuild for the arm package and try that.
A emerge does currenlt result in, but I'm not really sure if this is related to the arch difference
| Code: | >>> Emerging (1 of 1) app-editors/sublime-text-4_p4192::gentoo
>>> Unpacking source...

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Banana,
If it works, file a bug so that the ebuild can be updated and we can all have app-editors/sublime-text on arm64. Well, it must start at ~arm64
For bonus points make a github pull request that closes the above bug.

It's an evil binary blob too.

In a amd64 arch patches are applied
| Code: | * sublime_text_build_4192_x64.tar.xz BLAKE2B SHA512 size ;-) ... [ ok ]

Wait what?
I always thought it was FOSS. But indeed it's "shareware" according to wikipedia.
I stand corrected: My method, previously suggested, doesn't work at all on binary packages.

Yeah, I know. I often need something between vi/nano and intelliJ to quickly note or edit something. Which does have a nice folder and file view, is not too bloated and is fast.
Next step would be to create an ebuild for the arm package.
