Good thing you read it then, because it's not in the emerge man page :(

 Also remember someone made this ebuild -amd64 for a reason, it may not
 work (or worse it may screw something else). Simply changing -amd64 to
 amd64 or ~amd64 will _not_ fix it, it will merely make it available to
 screw with your system

Is -amd64 in the keywords, or is it simply missing any amd64 entry. It's
quite common for keywords to be missing because the ebuild author hasn't
been able to verify it works on that platform. I quite often add ~amd64 or
~ppc to the keywords (ekeyword is easier than editing the ebuild) and
find it works just fine.

Of course, you should report it as working on Bugzilla if that happens.

emerge will choose the last in line (as put in  PORTDIR_OVERLAY) overlay 
containing the ebuild.

 By the way:

 ebuild /long/path/balh.ebuild digest

wow thanx for that :)

[gentoo-user] jack-audio-connection-kit-0.100.0 ??

2005-09-08 Thread Mark Knecht
Hi there,
   I see an ebuild for Jack-0.100.0 but I don't seem to be able to
build it on my AMD64 machine or on my P4 laptop. I do not see it
listed in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask so I don't think it
should be unbuildable.

(Same results with both ~x86 and ~amd64)

lightning ~ # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge -pv
=media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.100.0

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy
=media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.100.0 have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.100.0 (masked by: -amd64 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 Software Availability in the Gentoo Handbook.

lightning ~ #

I've tried building it on both AMD64 and a standard P4 machine but I
cannot so far get emerge to build it. Why is this and what do I have
to do to make it compile? I need a feature in this newish package.
(Actually not so new anymore)

Thanks,
Mark

Well, thanks. How bizarre! I guess I should learn how to write an
ebuild then. Jack is actually up to something like 0.100.5 so this is
getting pretty old at this point.

(15 minutes later...)

I just copied the ebuild to under /usr/local/portage and modified it
to suit me. emerge now finds but it doesn't build as it complains
about 'no maifest'. I also see some bug reports on line about this new
version breaking older Jack apps so maybe I'd better go slow here.

thanks,
Mark



Thanks,
Mark

Neil,
   Is there no difference when the ebuild is personal and held in
/usr/local/portage as opposed to one held by portage proper?

   Also, is it important to ensure absolutely no overlap in names?
Since I just copied the one one in portage but didn't rename it I
wasn't sure I wouldn't do some damage to the database somehow.

Thanks,
Mark

 Neil,

no it still needs a manifest and digest files. see below for the
quickest way to generate them.

overlay will beat portage when emerge is figuring out which one to
install. so if the ebuild files are identically named the one in overlay will 
be built.

Not sure what happens if you have more than one overlay.

By the way:

emerge --digest jack-audio-connection

will build the new digest thing, you no longer need to 

ebuild /long/path/balh.ebuild digest

first.

You will make sure you submit your changes to the ebuild to bugs.g.o won't you? 

Also remember someone made this ebuild -amd64 for a reason, it may not
work (or worse it may screw something else). Simply changing -amd64 to
amd64 or ~amd64 will _not_ fix it, it will merely make it available to
screw with your system
