 Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2014 7:22 am Post subject: Installing older version of cgminer. |
 |
|
I am trying to install cgminer 3.7 through portage.
When I try to emerge directly I get
| Code: | # emerge --ask net-misc/cgminer-3.7.2
!!! 'net-misc/cgminer-3.7.2' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.
|
I think I am doing something wrong though because I get the same thing for 3.9.0.1
| Code: | # emerge --ask net-misc/cgminer-3.9.0.1
!!! 'net-misc/cgminer-3.9.0.1' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.
|
Despite the fact that 3.9.0.1 clearly exists
| Code: | # emerge --ask cgminer
* IMPORTANT: 8 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ~] net-misc/cgminer-3.9.0.1 USE="avalon ncurses udev -bflsc -bitforce -bitfury -doc -drillbit -examples -hardened -icarus -klondike -modminer"
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] No
Quitting.

I am a Gentoo noob and I am probably just not understanding the syntax. Can someone explain to me how to get version 3.7? |

You are missing "=" in the emerge command.
| Code: | | emerge --ask =net-misc/cgminer-3.7.2 |
Also to avoid futures update you can add cgminer versions greater than 3.7.2 to package.mask and the emerge ditectly.
| Code: | echo ">=net-misc/cgminer-3.7.3" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
emerge -va cgminer |

Portage gives you this advice for good reason. The referenced man page describes atom syntax in great detail. You could also use <cgminer-3.8 to specify any version older than 3.8. You will probably need to quote that to prevent your shell interpreting the less than sign. |
