 Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2003 7:25 pm Post subject: question about updating progs |
 |
|
i searched the forums and read the portage user guide, but couldn't find an answer, so i'm asking here.
i know you can update programs with
but let's say i did a grp install and installed stuff using the packages i copied from cd
| Code: | | USE="bindist" -k emerge xyz |
now when trying to update a prog i installed using the cd packages it doesn't recognize that they're already installed.
when i pretend an emerge, after calculating dependencies i always get to see [ebuild N] (new?) instead of [ebuild U] (update). is there a way to let it know it's already installed and it just needs to be updated?
this applies also to progs which i installed by downloading the source, then ./configure, gmake, etc.
also, how can i deinstall progs i installed this way?
sorry, newb here  |

cld,
Try emerge --help
and look out for Inject.
Deleting things installed other ways varies - make uninstall often works.
Go back to the packages source tree and make uninstall it.
However, there is no real standard.
