Re: [gentoo-user] Syntax for masking kde:4?
What is the syntax for a single entry in package.mask to exclude the whole of kde:4? I did start masking each package separately, but that's far too much work - I'd finish up with an entry for every kde package that has a version 4. Also, kde:4, which seems like the right thing to specify, is an invalid package atom according to eix. Sorry for the late reply. I attach 3 files with tell-tale names to mask all of kde-4 (I was previously running ~x86). Throw them in /etc/portage/package.mask I might have been goofing around with one or two things... I think, for example, I needed to turn of the KDE use flag on svn in package.use: dev-util/subversion -kde Since it wants me to upgrade kdelibs to 4 something otherwise. When a new kde-4 comes out, I copy an old one and do a find-replace on like 4.2 to 4.3 or something..

Thanks - though it misses anything pulled in by world entries. Meanwhile I've captured the file that Jonathan mentioned - and I've already had to augment it to mask the latest versions of kdiff3 and kmplayer, which want to exclude kde:3 libraries. -- Rgds Peter

What I need is an automask to complement autounmask, or perhaps a kde4 USE flag. I would do as someone else suggested, run autounmask for kde 4 and move the list package.unmask to package.mask. You would likely have to add to that over time but it is at least a start. Keep in mind, once KDE 4 is stable, you can't use autounmask to do this since it is already unmasked. According to -dev, KDE 4 is going stable pretty soon. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287697 It's already in the works. Dale :-) :-)

Yes, there will be more. And it's not likely to stop. It really is a pity that two different products have the same name with different slots. Causes no end of trouble, as you are seeing. But it's too late to change it now What I need is an automask to complement autounmask, or perhaps a kde4 USE flag. autounmask outputs a file, right? Move it from the package.unmask to the package.mask area - the format is the same for both. A USE flag won't help you here. USE s to enable/disable *features* of certain packages, not enable/disable entire packages or prevent them from being installed. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
[gentoo-user] Syntax for masking kde:4?

Google hasn't helped me either. kde:4 won't work as the package kde does exist but there is no SLOT=4 for it (it's the old monolithic package for =kde-3.5.9). You have to list each package you don't want individually - the reverse of what bleeding edge users have to do to unmask the latest greates packages as they hit the tree. Easiest is to use autounmask but send the output to package.mask. You could also use a combination of find $PORTDIR and sed, but that's painful. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
