 Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2006 6:57 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Modular X modules: which ones? |
 |
|
Hi all.
I'd like to test the Modular X but I have a smll problem due to my ignorance.
From the "Modular X HOWTO":
| Quote: | | First, add the required packages to /etc/portage/package.unmask. Open /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask in a text editor of your choice, then copy and paste the full modular X mask over to package.unmask. |
But I don't know the full list of the required packages!
I've browsed the whole package.mask but there is no hint about this.
Any help?
Thanks in advance!

You must be blind or something.
Try /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask (so, not /etc/portage/package.mask) |

I fear you are right!
I saw a lot of rows starting with x11-something but I have no clue whether they all are the required packages.
From your hint I'd argue "all of them". Right?

Right.
Your own quote from the xorg howto is pretty clear about it:
| Quote: | | Open /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask in a text editor of your choice, then copy and paste the full modular X mask over to package.unmask. |

The destiny of a n00b is to actually be behind a n00b! :-)
Thanks!

Please edit the topic title by adding a [solved], this is a nice way for other newbies (that actually use the search option) to see that this issue was solved.

One more hint.
Before going on with Modular X you need:
1. to unmask >=dev-python/pycrypto-2.0.1-r4 as ~x86 in packages.keywords
2. to emerge -u portage
Regards.

Adding ~x86 is not needed, everything in package.keywords is considered ~x86 by definition. |
