 Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:34 pm Post subject: Where can i find info about migrating package.* files to dir |
 |
|
I want to migrate /etc/portage/package.* files to dirs.
Is there a guide somewhere?
Is there some automated way for doing it? My package.use file is HUGE (382 lines) it would be nightmare to migrate it line by line

The simplest migration is:
| Code: | cd /etc/portage
mv package.use use.conf
mkdir package.use
mv use.conf package.use |
use.conf is an arbitrary file name and the content can be spitted arbitrarily to other files in the directory. No tool would know how you want to organize them though. |

I thought that package.use directory should be organized in custom cflags manner :
| Code: | | /etc/portage/package.use/app-office/libreoffice |
and libreoffice file should contain the custom useflags and may be custom linguas ?
Or that's just my wishful thinking? 
It seems i can't find any documentation on this subject .

You can organize it that way if you want—it will work—but you don't have to.

That is a good news!
If i decide to organize it like this what kind of customizations i can put there:
| Code: | GENTOO_MIRRORS
FEATURES
MAKEOPTS
LINGUAS
CAMERAS
RUBY_TARGETS |
Can I run in mixed mode: Only special packages will have their directory, all the other will share one big package.use file?

None of those. You can only put package-specific USE flags under the /etc/portage/package.use directory. The directory structure is meaningless (except, perhaps, to you). Similar comments apply to the package.keywords, package.mask, and package.unmask files and/or directories.
What you're talking about is /etc/portage/package.env which has different rules. The man page is a good starting point for learning about that.

The entry would still have to be:
| Code: | | app-office/libreoffice doc -linguas_en_US |
| Quote: | | Code: | GENTOO_MIRRORS
FEATURES
MAKEOPTS
LINGUAS
CAMERAS
RUBY_TARGETS |
|
Those need to be set in package.env or the useflag value needs to be used.
See USE_EXPAND. |

I didn't know about that  It sound very interesting:
| Quote: | USE_EXPAND and ARCH USE Flags
The VIDEO_CARDS, INPUT_DEVICES and LINGUAS variables are automatically expanded into USE flags. These are known as USE_EXPAND variables. If the user has LINGUAS="en fr" in make.conf, for example, then USE="linguas_en linguas_fr" will automatically be set by Portage.
The USE_EXPAND list is set in profiles/base/make.default as of Portage 2.0.51.20. This must not be modified without discussion on the gentoo-dev list, and it must not be modified in any subprofile.
The current architecture (e.g. x86, sparc, ppc-macos) will automatically be set as a USE flag as well. See profiles/arch.list for a full list of valid architecture keywords, and GLEP 22 for an explanation of the format.

Thank you too !

So here is what i did, and it works:
1.Created a file called linguas.conf into /etc/portage/env/ it contains my custom linguas:
| Code: | | LINGUAS='en bg en_GB' |
2.Craeted a file called aspell into /etc/portage/package.env/ it contains only one line : | Code: | | app-text/aspell linguas.conf |
3.Craeted a file called kde-l10n also into /etc/portage/package.env and it also contains: | Code: | | kde-base/kde-l10n linguas.conf |
The rest of my system is using different linguas.
I bet i can do the same thing with GENTOO_MIRRORS, FEATURES,MAKEOPTS,CAMERAS and RUBY_TARGETS 
Flexibility of portage is unbeatable!

kollin, app-portage/gpytage is a gtk app to help you manage/migrate those files for you.

I tried to convert package.use with it, but it doesn't work. Clicking on 'Convert file->Subfile' results in this :
| Code: | | TypeError: TODO() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) |
