I wanted to try this out, used this:
#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -u evolution
and it returns no packages. So then I tried going right in /usr/portage/net-mail/evolution and try
#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p evolution-1.3.1.ebuild
it returns:
Calculating dependencies /
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=net-libs/libsoup-1.99.12" have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "net-mail/evolution-1.3.1" [ebuild])
!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.
I am not sure what to look for in the ebuild for errors, but anyone else have this? Don
First of all, evolution 1.3.1 is actually beta which may not be evident
from the filename and if you do 'grep evolution
/usr/portage/profiles/packages.mask it warns about possible breakage. It installs in a separate slot to 1.2.1 so can coexist with 1.2.1 though
AFAIK which makes it a little safer to try. As for installing it try
the following as root.
emerge /usr/portage/net-mail/evolution/evolution-1.3.1.ebuild
Also if you add the following line to the end of your /etc/profile it will save you having to type in ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86" all the time.
export AK="env ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86"
Then, whenever you wish to install a masked package you can just do:
$AK emerge <packagename>
I tried that command as root before I posted. Does not work.
I do not want to put ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in my profile, that will ALWAYS merge unstable/masked packages, which IMHO, is stupid if you want to maintain a stable system.
