[PALUDIS] Support thread (current v. 0.30.*) - Part 5

[tranquilcool]

i am using +kdeprefix. how do i tell paludis to use it?

thanks.

[justinkb]

i would just grep -F 'dev-python/' from "paludis -q installed-packages::installed"'s output (using paludis from git, otherwise use everything::installed)... surely you have grep installed ?

The same way you do every use flag. In use.conf.

doesn't work because -kdeprefix is hardcoded in kde4.
in portage i obtain +kdeprefix editing /etc/portage/profile/use.mask.

@tranquilcool

You need to create your own profile, e.g.:

in /etc/paludis/repositories/gentoo.conf

Code: Select all

...
profiles = /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop /etc/paludis/myProfile
...

The settings in /etc/paludis/myProfile will override those of /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop.

Now create the folder /etc/paludis/myProfile and put the file use.mask in it, containing

Code: Select all

-kdeprefix

Paths shoud be customized to your needs, of course.
Now you should be able to set kdeprefix via use.conf. I didn't actually try this on kdeprefix, though.

[Phlogiston]

Maybe you should consider not using kdeprefix any longer? It will be unsupported soon I guess.

thanks. that did it.

as a matter of fact i prefer using kdeprefix. i guess i'll continue to use it as long as it's supported.
i really don't see any good reason not to use it.

Anyone has an idea how to fix this:

Have you tried uninstalling the package?

Yes, its not installed at all, at least not that version.

The thing I remember is that I installed the new package while uninstalling this version.

[loftwyr]

Strange, the package is there according to the listing. Perhaps it's masked.

What happens if you specifically try to install it ( -p )?

I'm trying this now:

Checking for possible errors......

But there is something wrong with virtuals for installed as the messages says... but where is this?

/edit:

This fixed it!

However this error is weird:

what does [ignor] ,[obj], etc mean when paludis installs ?

the paludis man page does not show the meaning of those symbols, only let user to guess blindly.

I am using the 0.46 version. This may have been answered in one of the parts but I get this error when I run the above command. I forgot to mention that I used portage2paludis and it created every folder correctly. I even followed the wiki on this to make sure that every thing was created and had the rights to it. I followed the guide on the link below. I was not able to get chown paludisbuild to work as I had to change it to chown paludisbuild:paludisbuild /var/db/pkg/.cache. I can install one application at a time but can not do any thing other then this. I love the idea of Paludis but I am unable to get it to work so far.

[loftwyr]

just go into /usr/portage and run the following as root:

Code: Select all

chown -r paludisbuild:paludisbuild *

and all will be well.

[jmdennis]

Thanks for the command. I found out that I need to use an upper case r but other then that the command works great. I am still having problems but those are gentoo problems and not this commands fault. I look forward to using it more.
