[gentoo-user] Strange feature in eix
Hi all, Using eix for some time (at least a year now), I discovered today (eix-0.5.5) a very strange feature which and in less perfect world than gentoo's might perhaps qualify as a bug. If I type eix package and the package is unstable (or has unstable versions) and appears as such in the gentoo database, I expect to see it -for the unstable versions- in eix's output: the man page says so anyway; but this happens only if I have not marked the package with ~x86 in *my* /etc/portage/package.keywords file. If I mark the package (with ~x86) eix tells me : * app-editors/emacs-cvs Available versions: 22.0.50-r1 22.0.50-r2 [M]23.0.0 Installed: 22.0.50-r2 Homepage:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs Description: Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. and this is a *big lie* (works with any package apparently). Or is it intended? -- Jean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Why is it a lie?! Have you not accepted that version explicity in your own config file? So, isn't that version available? If you do an emerge emacs-csv, wouldn't it pull out the keyworded package? Note that eix uses the available word, not stable or anything like that. By using available, it is dynamic and can give results accourding to your personal config. I guess its more a feature, it predicts exactly what portage will do...

Sure ; you understand my using lie was a joke; but anyway I was interpreting the term masked as a property of the package common to all gentoo users, and it sounded (still does) strange to me; the man page: . OUTPUT If you used gentoo for more than a week you're probably going to immediately recognize the format of the versions-strings. Nevertheless, we are going to explain them here. [...] *3.4.3-r2 That version is masked by -* keyword. !3.3.3 This means the version is masked by missing keyword. -0.8.14 Masked by -ARCH. ~3.3.5.20050130 The version would be masked by ~keyword. as I personally do not mask packages, I could assume they were masked by the external world...
