emerging truecrypt; 6.0 vs. 6.1 [SOLVED]

I'm trying to emerge truecrypt following this howto guide: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/TrueCrypt

This is what happens:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N F ] app-crypt/truecrypt-6.0a USE="-X" 1,647 kB

Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 1,647 kB
Fetch Restriction: 1 package (1 unsatisfied)

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

the install fails because portage is looking for truecrypt-6.0a, but I have placed truecrypt-6.1a in /usr/portage/distfiles/
If I rename 6.1 to 6.0, it gives a checksum error.

How can I get portage to emerge 6.1a instead of 6.0a
I've already tried emerge --sync

Thanks

Check Bug #245322 for an ebuild for 6.1a. Place the .ebuild in

Code: Select all

/usr/local/portage/app-crypt/truecrypt

(with the same name as on the bugzilla), place the non-crossed out attachments (ending in .patch) in the files subdirectory. Now go and do an "ebuild truecrypt-6.1a.ebuild digest" and follow the instructions to download the necessary files. You should now be able to emerge -pv truecrypt and see 6.1a there

If I haven't made anything clear, feel free to ask questions. In the future, consider reading about 'ebuild' and Portage in general. Hope that's been of help

After applying the Yarik overlay you need to do emerge --sync to update all the ebuilds, portage will download the ebuilds for TC 6.1a

Thanks Vlad.

I have followed your directions, and then did emerge --sync.

I am still getting the error:

emerge -av truecrypt

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N F ] app-crypt/truecrypt-6.0a USE="-X" 1,647 kB

Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 1,647 kB
Fetch Restriction: 1 package (1 unsatisfied)

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

Here are some directory listings:

# cd /usr/local/portage/app-crypt/truecrypt
# ls
Manifest files truecrypt-6.1a.ebuild
# ls files
truecrypt-6.1-64bit.patch truecrypt-6.1-bool.patch truecrypt-6.1-external-wx
#

Also, I had to mkdir all the directories after /usr/local

so... /usr/local/portage and beyond didn't exist before I created them today.

Add

Code: Select all

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

to your make.conf (in /etc/ in particular). This will add the directory to the list of places portage searches for ebuilds.

Thanks that worked.
