I want to use the gentoo binary packages but fail
to have them working properlyhttps://www.gentoo.org/news/2023/12/29/ ... inary.html
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binary_pac ... y_packages
I am using "buildpkg" in my make.conf (I ll post it)
I have no problem emerging package which are not gentoo binary.
I can emerge the bin package like www-client/firefox-bin
probleme arise when trying to emerge gentoo binary
binay dowload but when reaching 100% fail
context:
I am using an old laptop update not done since over 6 month (wanted to move to gentoo binary had that pb but left it for latter as this is not my main machine)
it is a mix of stable and ~
default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr/desktop/plasma (stable) *
I am using lvm
goal will be to have the laptop to use a big part of binay gentoo package
here is an example :
Code: Select all
emerge -v vim
Local copy of remote index is up-to-date and will be used.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

# These old versions of toolchain packages (binutils, gcc, glibc) are no
# longer officially supported and are not suitable for general use. Using
# these packages can result in build failures (and possible breakage) for
# many packages, and may leave your system vulnerable to known security
# exploits.
# If you still use one of these old toolchain packages, please upgrade (and
# switch the compiler / the binutils) ASAP. If you need them for a specific
# (isolated) use case, feel free to unmask them on your system.

!!! Tried to use non-existent binary for 'sys-libs/glibc-2.41-r4'
!!! Likely caused by an outdated index. Run 'emaint binhost -f'.and by the way it did partially/fully dowload I have
Code: Select all
ls -alh /portage/distfiles/glibc-2.41-r4.gpkg.tar.partial
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16M 3 juil. 14:24 /portage/distfiles/glibc-2.41-r4.gpkg.tar.partial
file seems to be dowloaded but stay ".partial" .should it stay in that directory? ,should it be moved after completion in another directory?
most certainly
a misconfiguration on my part / permission problemthanks in advance for any help/insight
jms
