[gentoo-user] Question about emerge sync and where it all goes.
Howdy, I've mentioned before that I build my packages in a chroot. I have a OS copy on a separate drive. I do this because of the long compile times of some packages. On occasion tho, I catch the tree in a bad place. Some conflict or other happens and I need to sync again to get fixes etc. Given my process tho, I don't want to sync the chroot without also syncing my main system because the two will not be in sync and I'll lose my update since it deletes files as well including any updates I did emerge successfully. I need the two to be identical. So, I'd like to sync my main system and then copy the new data over to the chroot without copying the rest of the OS. I did this with the following command earlier. rsync -av --progress --delete /var/cache/portage/tree/* /backup/gentoo-build/var/cache/portage/tree/ As you can see, my tree location is not the default. It is located at /var/cache/portage/tree/. It's the same on the chroot obviously. Would the above command copy all the needed files/directories over that it needs after a emerge sync or is there more to it? The reason I think it needs more, when I tried to do the usual emerge -aukDN world on my main system, it wanted to emerge more packages than the chroot did. I suspect there is more to it than just the tree directory. Anyone have the details on this? Anyone know what other files/directories need to be copied over as well? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] New profiles 23.0
Hi folks, my current profile is default/linux/amd64/17.1, but I already migrated to merged-usr some while ago (I know, that is not supported, really). Any advice how to migrate to 23.0? Cheers, Björn

Tomorrow I'll try to analyze the install log better. Looks like the problem was self-induced. I run a KSPP kernel, one recommended setting blocks ptrace. Looking at yesterday's gcc failed merge log I found that the kernel had blocked several attempts to call ptrace. I disabled the option, gcc built fine and now I am running the last step (rebuild world). raf

I had the gcc compile fail, but was successful after removing the "objc" use flag. Unfortunately, it seemd to be required by app-arch/unar during step 16, rebuild world. I'm re-enbleing it and will see how it all goes. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/ Asking for technical help in newsgroups?
