genlop --current shows old, killed, emerge

[Oo.et.oO]

Code: Select all

byzantine erict # genlop --current

 * app-shells/ksh-93.20040229

       current merge time: 3 hours, 49 minutes and 24 seconds.
       ETA: unknown.

 * dev-libs/lzo-1.08-r1

       current merge time: 3 minutes and 43 seconds.
       ETA: any time now.

i'm not sure why it says 3 hours. it's actually from last week.

do i have to physically delete that entry from the emerge.log to stop it from showing up?

Is there still a process in the background maybe?

In order not to create too much spam i intend to post in this thread since my problem is alike to the thread opener

genlop -c always errors out, whatever i have running, this has been for like half a year now, i think even longer
doing 2 emerges (different packages) doesn't help
i've tried other versions of genlop but they all output the same...

Code: Select all

guntherdw@lisa ~ % genlop -c  [07-06-23 - 22:40:10]
!!! Error: no working merge found.
(the -c option only works if there is an ongoing compilation, see manpage)
guntherdw@lisa ~ % sudo genlop -c  [07-06-23 - 22:40:16]
!!! Error: no working merge found.
(the -c option only works if there is an ongoing compilation, see manpage)

is there any "verbose" mode to check where it is going wrong?

genlop is a log parser. You need to find the bad entries in you /var/log/emerge.log and remove them.

Are you sure you are in mid-compile when you run it? If you are in the configuration part of the emerge, it won't show up here. Also, can you try testing something like "genlop -t gentoo-sources" to see if the issue is just with -c?

Thanks.

genlop -t always worked like a charm, the -c started to dislike me :p
edit : and yes i am 250% sure i'm doing it in the middle of a compile, whenever possible

[ok]

/usr/bin/genlop:

Code: Select all

...
658     # support for 'current' merge.
659     #
660     # this whole 'current' thing is based on having sandboxind enabled
661     # we need to check for it, basically sandboxing is on if
662     # FEATURES contains 'sandbox' and does not contain 'userpriv'
663     # FEATURES contains 'sandbox' and contains both 'userpriv' and 'usersandbox'
...

What is your output of 'ps aux' while compiling?

[GuntherDW]

hmm, sandboxing
i had to disable that feature when i used a 2.6.19+ kernel
that explains
