why can't equery find kicad? [SOLVED]

[Gentree]

Hi,

I am setting up an overlay to add a more recent kicad build, but when I do emerge kicad, it does not see it and just wants to rebuild the existing version.

I tried to check what versions were seen by portage using equery and it does not find ANY. Not even the one it is prepared to rebuild

Code: Select all

(chroot) linbox kicad # equery list -p portage
 * Searching for portage ...
[-P-] [  ] sys-apps/portage-2.2.8-r2:0
[-P-] [  ] sys-apps/portage-2.2.14:0
[-P-] [  ] sys-apps/portage-2.2.15:0
[-P-] [  ] sys-apps/portage-2.2.17:0
[IP-] [  ] sys-apps/portage-2.2.18:0
[-P-] [ -] sys-apps/portage-9999:0
(chroot) linbox kicad # equery list -p kicad
 * Searching for kicad ...
(chroot) linbox kicad # emp !$
emp kicad

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] sci-electronics/kicad-20130518 [20130518]

What am I missing.

TIA, Gentree.

Have you told portage (via make.conf) where your overlay exists?

[Gentree]

Yes, but the point was equery was not even finding the version of kicad that is the tree.

I realised that I've put the overlay under the main portdir, which means it will be wiped out by a sync.

This may induce some error in portage that is not being trapped.

[Naib]

have you made the manifest ?

[dol-sen]

Normally it most likely be a cache issue. Portage/emerge is detecting the invalid cache and doing a manual lookup. Equery is using the portage api which is not detecting the invalid cache so the portage code is not doing the manual lookup.

But I can re-produce it on my system

I'll look into it.

[dol-sen]

OK, I did some debug testing. It turns out on my system I have a duplicate tree (the CVS commit tree is visible to portage) which is an overlay, so it is being filtered out.

If I add the -o option it does print the correct result.

I suspect you are getting the same reason for not seeing it. You also have a kicad pkg in an installed overlay on that system.

[VoidMage]

Well, there's that few years old bug of equery, that for the last 6 months or so had a technically incorrect, but fully working patch, that sounds like this problem.

[Gentree]

Could you be more specific about that bug and patch?

I have separated my local overlay from the main tree. I have run ebuild *ld digest on my new ebuild and it grabs the source tarballs.

equery list -p kicad does now show the original version in portage.

However, I still don't get see my ebuild showing up in equery or emerge -p kicad.

[dol-sen]

you have to add the " -o, --overlay-tree" too. Otherwise it filters out any overlay or installed versions.

Code: Select all

equery -po kicad

[Gentree]

Code: Select all

 # equery list  -po kicad
 * Searching for kicad ...
[IP-] [  ] sci-electronics/kicad-20130518:0
[--O] [ -] sci-electronics/kicad-20150320-r1:0

Many thanks, I missed that trick.

equery finds it but emerge still wants to rebuild the original version.


EDIT. Ah don't worry, the ebuild I grabbed was missing ~x86 and only had ~amd64 .

[VoidMage]

Well, it shouldn't be all that hard to find in bugzilla...

:sigh:...[bug=369581]here[/bug]

[Gentree]

Thanks to all, particularly dol-sen. Kicad is now installed at March 2015 vintage. Much more upto date than the 2013 version in the main tree.

[schorsch_76]

I know this is a old thread ... but could you share your 2015 ebuild?

[Gentree]

Sure, hope this copies OK:

I set up an overlay today that might work for you as well:

https://github.com/iwoloschin/overlay

It's a work in progress, and it's only tested on my Funtoo box (which is why wxPython is included), but it compiles and it seems to work. This is for the brand new, just release 4.0 Stable RC. It compiles, and it runs, but there may be some errors, either in my packaging, or bugs upstream.

Oh, you might need to mask the old 2013 version in the main Portage tree, at least I had to.

[CarstenIQ]

Thank you "Ian" for sharing your ebuild/overlay for KiCAD. It helped me a lot to get KiCAD 4 running on my machine.
