Code: Select all

@smart-live-rebuild

What does this do? It's neither in the man page nor the wiki.

A quick search lead me to this: https://github.com/projg2/smart-live-rebuild/ The readme there explains it very well.

I think that set is automatically constructed from packages that fill the the requirement of @installed && FEATURES=live.

Code: Select all

             sets.conf
                     A package set configuration file. Settings here override settings
                     from  /var/db/repos/gentoo/sets.conf  and /usr/share/portage/con‐
                     fig/sets.  The format is described extensively in the Package Set
                     Configuration section of the  html  documentation  which  is  in‐
                     stalled with portage when the "doc" USE flag is enabled.

                     Example:
                     [world]
                     class = portage.sets.base.DummyPackageSet
                     packages = @profile @selected @system

                     [usersets]
                     class = portage.sets.files.StaticFileSet
                     multiset = true
                     directory =  %(PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT)setc/portage/sets
                     world-candidate = True

                     [module-rebuild]
                     class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet
                     files = /lib/modules

EDIT: The set is added by app-portage/smart-live-rebuild so it's not part of the default sets.

It is not a set but a command and it is not related to OP's problem in any way.

I must say, I disagreed.

If you install correctly it extend the Portage builtin to have the "smart-live-rebuild" as additional to existing default sets.

I must say I disagree. Look closely at the original command. The user alerted the quote.

You can using smart-live-rebuild directly or as set - both works :)

Portage set support
-------------------
Apart from being called directly, smart-live-rebuild provides a package
set for portage-2.2, called ``smartliverebuild.sets.SmartLiveRebuildSet``.
Please take a look at ``sets.conf.example`` file for a use example.

Code: Select all

emerge --list-sets | grep smart
smart-live-rebuild

It is both a set and a command, and different posters in these threads have referred to it in different ways. picarica (author of the original thread Portage crashes terminal, unable to compile @world set) wrote it as a set:

Code: Select all

$ sudo emerge --sync;sudo emerge -a --verbose --update --deep --newuse --keep-going --with-bdeps=y @world && sudo emerge @smart-live-rebuild

Later, ingenarel posted it as a command

Code: Select all

sudo emerge --ask --deep --verbose --update --newuse @world && sudo smart-live-rebuild

After that, mrbassie asked what the set does:

Code: Select all

@smart-live-rebuild

What does this do?

Thus, depending on whose quote you want to look at, you can say it was altered (if you compare mrbassie's quote as a set to ingenarel's post as a command) or you can say it was a straight quote if you compare mrbassie's quote as a set to picarica's original question as a set. This would have been somewhat clearer if mrbassie's question had quoted the post (and poster name) that he was questioning.

For users who have not installed the package app-portage/smart-live-rebuild, neither the set nor the command is available, which makes researching this very slightly harder. (Though as Banana's first post here demonstrates, it's not particularly hard to find with a search engine.)

OK, I'll admit it's my bad this time. And I apologize to everybody involved. However I still support it's off topic and diverting attention from the original issue, so thanks for taking into account my complaint and splitting the thread.

Don't quote me on this, but

• I think @smart-live-rebuild, the set, invokes the command smart-live-rebuild to construct the items to the before-mentioned set.

Sorry I had to. An older boy made me.

Code: Select all

$ emerge -pv @smart-live-rebuild
emerge: There are no sets to satisfy 'smart-live-rebuild'. The following sets exist:

    changed-deps
    changed-subslot
    deprecated-live-rebuild
    downgrade
    esteam
    installed
    live-rebuild
    module-rebuild
    preserved-rebuild
    profile
    rebuilt-binaries
    rust-rebuild
    security
    selected
    selected-packages
    selected-sets
    system
    unavailable
    unavailable-binaries
    world
    x11-module-rebuild

Hence the question.

I don't know anything about the set, but there is a standalone tool which does the same things as emerge @live-rebuild, but cheaper

Code: Select all

app-portage/smart-live-rebuild installs /usr/share/portage/config/sets/smart-live-rebuild.conf which provides the set. I'm not sure what confusion remains here -- it's been answered a few times above.

[Zucca]

I may sound stupid but:

Hence the question.

You need to first install the package: app-portage/smart-live-rebuild
