Is there anywhere a specification of those ebuild files? ... but it wouldn't either be easy to create a special ebuild for my installation, because I don't do a normal busybox build/installation. I'm throwing in several source modifications to busybox and I do a completely different installation (e.g. naming and placement of the files in the destination system). In addition I'm trying and working with daily snapshots of busybox (from time to time).
[gentoo-user] Problem with Portage profile override
Hi! I do have a problem using /etc/portage/profile/package.provided. At first I added some other packages to this file and got the expected functionality. Then I added sys-apps/busybox-1.16 to package.provided. It works and portage detects the entry on an emerge, but it prints a big fat warning, that busybox has been excluded and suggests deleting from worlds file or removing from the package.provided file. But busybox isn't in the worlds file. And removing it from the package.provided files leeds to emerge trying to install busybox 1.15.3 which conflicts with my manual installation of busybox 1.16.0 (or daily snapshot). How is it possible to disable this warning message from emerge, because it's half a screen full of text on every merge and scrolls off a lot of other wanted information from the screen? If any additional Information required please feel free to ask. I'm new to gentoo and portage but otherwise a C programmer and more or less an linux expert. Thx for your help. Harald

Your problem is caused by busybox being in @system, which is a subset of @world. That's why you see the message about it being in world even though it is not in the world file. To remove it from @system, add -sys-apps/busybox in /etc/portage/profile/packages. -- Neil Bothwick Everything takes longer than expected, even when you take into account Hoffstead's Law. - Hoffstead's Law signature.asc Description: PGP signature
