Current eclipse installation manual not working

[SlowMotion]

The installation manual (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Eclipse) is not working.

(At least for me) it breaks on

Code: Select all

emerge --ask dev-util/eclipse-sdk-bin

with

Code: Select all

...
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "dev-util/eclipse-sdk-bin" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:

- dev-util/eclipse-sdk-bin-4.5.1::eclipse (masked by: corruption)
- dev-util/eclipse-sdk-bin-4.5.0-r4::eclipse (masked by: corruption)

Should I just download eclipse and unpack it, or is there another installation manual or is it related to my system ?

If this forum is not correct, please just move to correct forum

Based on the Wiki instructions and the shown Portage output, this appears to be an overlay package, so moved to Unsupported Software. Do not worry. You may still get help here. However, packages not in ::gentoo are generally handled here, not in Portage & Programming or Installing Gentoo.

As to your problem, this looks like a standard case of using a testing-only package on a stable system. You need to allow the testing keyword if you want Portage to proceed.

That "masked by: corruption" is weird and should not happen. How exactly did you set up the ::eclipse overlay?

But I am not sure if I need to activate something (like EAPI) :/

So you think I need to support "testing" to get a stable version of eclipse into my gentoo ?
Where should I add that (as it is an overlay and not mentioned anywhere as USE-Flag ) ?

[Hu]

EAPI 5 is long gone. The ebuilds using that EAPI should be updated or removed.

I said enable the testing keyword (for your architecture). By definition of the name, ebuilds in testing are not in stable, and there appear to be no eclipse ebuilds that are marked as stable. Since you want to accept the testing keyword for this package, you would use /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords to allow this ebuild (and possibly dependent ebuilds, if Portage prints further diagnostics).

[SlowMotion]

I hope I understand correct :

Created file in

/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

with name

eclipse-sdk-bin

containing

dev-util/eclipse-sdk-bin ~amd64

That changed the output to

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=dev-java/icu4j-56.1:56".
(dependency required by "dev-util/eclipse-sdk-bin-4.6.2-r1::eclipse" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "dev-util/eclipse-sdk-bin" [argument])

Tried to install "current" version of icu4j, but that resulted in version

dev-java/icu4j-75.1

which did not help.

If I understand that correct, it "needs" an older version

But as the current eclipse version on

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

is 4.31 I do not think that this overlay will give me an uptodate eclipse if it tried to install a 4.5.0-r4



Tried to just download and extract and it worked.

I assume there is no integration into kde menu, but if I am able to start it by console I think I can (later) also add a shortcut.

But I think that's easier than trying to fix an overlay that is described in a wiki page that is marked as 'The information in this article is probably outdated'

So I think I can save you the time to fix that.

Sorry for wasting your time

Yes, that is correct.

These can only be solved by fixing the ebuild. Local system configuration cannot help. You need to fork the overlay and fix in a fork, or get the maintainer to fix the ebuilds in the published overlay.

You learned how to selectively accept testing packages, so this thread was not a waste. Also, it stands as a warning that this eclipse overlay is sufficiently outdated that no one should use it in its current form.
