I have a SUN V100 running 2.4.29-sparc and would like to know if/how I can upgrade to 2.6.X

Thanks
Mark

I found a How To, but I can't get past the first step....

Code:


ftpserv1 root # emerge -av gentoo-dev-sources

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "gentoo-dev-sources" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r2 (masked by: ~sparc keyword)
- sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r9 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.10-r6 (masked by: ~sparc keyword)
- sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r14 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r3 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.10-r7 (masked by: missing keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.

You need to add a line to your make.conf.
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc"

That should do it, at least I believe it should. :)

Where is this make.conf? /etc/make.conf?

Yes make.conf is /etc/make.conf. However, might I suggest you don't do it that way. Instead try a command like this...

Code:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge gentoo-dev-sources


This way your system doesn't default to using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS. It only does it during the command being executed at the time.

OK. Added that line to /etc/make.conf and that worked.

Thanks
