 Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2005 9:10 am Post subject: [Solved]How do I run KDE unstable via package.keywords? |
 |
|
Greetings fellow Gentoo'ers,
I have a small question relating /etc/portage/package.keywords and inserting KDE in there.
I want to run the KDE stable version (3.4.2) and not the Gentoo stable version (3.4.1), but still run on a Gentoo-stable system.
The most obvious choice would be to insert kde in the /etc/portage/package.keywords, but that would mean inserting 'all' kde packages in there, which would make the list quite long...
Is there a way to do this without using such a long list?
That doesn't work for sure, so I was hoping someone else new a quicker method.

I don't know if there's an elegant solution for your problem, I just put everything into package.keywords. It's all you need for kdebase-meta plus a few extras. You don't need to write '~x86' anymore, btw.

It should work if you just run the first command from Testing kde-3.5_beta1 small howto and substitute amd64 with x86 so that it becomes | Code: | main ~ # mkdir -p /etc/portage
main ~ # cd /usr/portage
main portage # for package in kde-base/*; do echo "$package" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords; done |
I left out the ~arch completely as I assume x86 is your arch anyway.

Earthwings, may I thank you?
