If a package is masked in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, one should be careful about unmasking it. But if it is just ~arch keyword masked, unmasking it is no big deal, it is something that should happen in the next month anyway. -- Neil Bothwick Favorite Windoze game: Guess what this icon does? pgp6lk3EbcNFF.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] CFS Howto
Hey all, I was attempting to encrypt my home directory using the CFS Howto as my guide, but I am not getting far at all... When trying to emerge cfs, I'm getting the following message: convert usr # emerge app-crypt/cfs-1.4.1.14 Calculating dependencies !!! Problem in app-crypt/cfs-1.4.1.14 dependencies. !!! Specific key requires an operator (app-crypt/cfs-1.4.1.14) (try adding an '=') exceptions So, I changed my command to: emerge -pv =app-crypt/cfs-1.4.1.14 and I'm getting the following message: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy =app-crypt/cfs-1.4.1.14 have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - app-crypt/cfs-1.4.1.14 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 Software Availability in the Gentoo Handbook. The computer that I'm trying to install this on has a Pentium 4 processor. Support for NFS has been compiled into the Kernel (satisfying part of step 3). Any suggestions? Thank you, Shawn -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thank you, Shawn I assume you want to continue running an x86 (stable) system for the most part. If so, then add app-crypt/cfs ~x86 to /etc/portage/package.keywords (create this file if it does not exist). If you'd like to go totally ~x86 (unstable), you can just add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 to /etc/make.conf When you've done either one, just emerge cfs normally (emerge cfs), and you should get the ~x86 version. Hope this helps. Holly H -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[...] Any suggestions? Shawn, I would suggest the following: echo =app-crypt/cfs-1.4.1.14 ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords or even better RTFM (highly recommended!) and in particular, regarding your specific question: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3chap=3 Hope this helps, but be warned that unmasking is supposed to be done only by expert users!

Hope this helps. Holly H Thanks Holley!!! I am currently trying to figure out why my Gentoo doesn't connect to eth0, so I'm bogged down in silly dumb situation. Thanks for answering that question on CFS. CFS just works for me, except I still haven't found the magic commands to shut down Gentoo after cattaching a directory, It still hangs. I've temporarily given up, as I'm getting into the NSA Linux deal. haha Sincerely, Rob. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
