[gentoo-user] package.mask syntax
Hi, Could you hint me on this, i want to mask whole tree on overlay sabayon like this: kde-base/* kde-misc/* to get every package masked there, even those who probaly will be added later. OK, i know i can remove that overlay but I think i still need it. Martins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

OK, i know i can remove that overlay but I think i still need it. As explained in bug #140002 wildcards are not supported in package.mask. What is the purpose anyway? Why not just remove the overlay entirely? Or make a partial checkout of the overlay (really that is the best solution if you want only a few packages from a big overlay)? What do you use to sync it? -- Bo Andresen pgpzJsuPudo0c.pgp Description: PGP signature

Also note that these extended prefixes/postfixes may be combined in any way with the atom classes defined above. Here are some common examples you may find in the portage tree: !app-text/dos2unix =dev-libs/glib-2* !=net-fs/samba-2* ~net-libs/libnet-1.0.2a ! means block packages from being installed at the same time. * means match any version of the package so long as the specified base is matched. So with a version of '2*', we can match '2.1', '2.2', '2.2.1', etc... and not match version '1.0', '3.0', '4.1', etc... ~ means match any revision of the base version specified. So in the above example, we would match versions '1.0.2a', '1.0.2a-r1', '1.0.2a-r2', etc... Hope this helps. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

I'd prefer to leave things alone until an update is realsed. Then check the Changelog and mask the specific version if I don't need it. So you can run emerge -uD world without fetching an 100MB file from the net and taking 7 hours to compile it? That would only happen if you blindly ran emerge --update world with --ask or --pretend. If you checked first, you would see the update and be able to read the Changelog before deciding whether to mask that one update. Running emerge --update automatically is potentially dangerous, as is ignoring security updates. Combining the two is not something I'd be prepared to risk. There wouldn't be a big download anyway, not for a patch level upgrade, unless you had cleared $DISTDIR. -- Neil Bothwick Bug: (n.) any program feature not yet described to the marketing department. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] package.mask and my thick skull
Good afternoon, This has been discussed over and over in this list, but I am unable to find any references that make sense to me. Could someone please explain the different ways that you can specify an atom in package.mask? I currently have app-office/openoffice ~x86# in package.keywords app-office/openoffice-2.0.2-r2 is currently installed I would like to be able to mask all updates until app-office/openoffice-2.0.3 or app-office/openoffice-2.1 Is this possible?

First I remove app-office/openoffice ~x86 from package.keywords and reemerge app-office/openoffice-2.0.2-r1. Now, where do I specify that I only want the next stable openoffice if it's at least -2.0.3 ? festus -- It is not unusual for those at the wrong end of the club to have a clearer picture of reality than those who wield it.

[gentoo-user] package.mask
Hi there, i want to ask how to mask versions of glibc above 2.4? I compile my entire system with gcc3.4.5 and glibc 2.4 and i don't want to upgrade them. I added the following lines in package.mask sys-devel/gcc-3.4.5 sys-libs/glibc-2.4 but there is glibc-2.4-r1 and the system wants to upgrade. I don't! I tried to mask =sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r1 but then the system wants to downgrade. The question! How can I mask glibc-2.4 so the system don't downgrade or upgrade and just use glibc-2.4? 10x in advance :) Regards, Niki -- Cyberly yours, Nikolay Balov mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Creditinfo Bulgaria Member of Creditinfo Group http://www.creditinfo.bg tel: +359 2 92 777 351 fax: +359 2 92 777 352 mobile: +359 89 666 8 421 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The Changelog will probably tell you more. In this case, upgrading to 2.4-r1 is almost certainly the best option, and change package.mask accordingly. -- Neil Bothwick You are a completely unique individual, just like everybody else. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
