Is there a way to install only the miniature mini golf from KDE's game
package? I really do not need all of them installed if I need only one.
emerge kolf/kolf-3.4.0_beta1
it's masked so u need to unmask it before,
Thanks, Bastian. I tried to find in manuals syntax for (un)masking but
couldn't. Could you know to tell me please where to search exactly? This
portage system is pretty new for me yet.
hint for google searches: ---->site:www.gentoo.org "/etc/portage/package.mask"<---- search the site www.google.org for phrase "/etc/portage/package.mask", site: for specify the site double quoted phrase to search it exactly:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3
is one result but effectively is not very much expanded so better say that package are masked from
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
file, there you will find a lot of examples of how to mask, and unmask packages because the syntax is the same of
/etc/portage/package.mask
and
/etc/portage/package.unmask
more to say I've found sometimes that is necessary to put the *exact* same phrase that is present in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
ex:
# grep "dev-db\/mysql" /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
shows >=dev-db/mysql-query-browser-1.1.1 =dev-db/mysql-4.1* dev-db/mysqlcc
I want to unmask mysql 4.1 and so I will do an
# echo "=dev-db/mysql-4.1*" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
again note the doble quotes and the ">>" , this command append one line at package.unmask that neutralize the effect of the one in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
I want to mask mysql 4.0 and the ones before so I type # echo "<dev-db/mysql-4.1" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
One last note, I've read somewhere that the * (asterisk) syntax is deprecated (further searches needed ;)

Does that mean that we could expect soon a less chubby packages then?
Where? Where?
look at files in /usr/portage/kde-base and a thread [gentoo-user] Re: [SOLVED] mass package keywording/test left to you the exercise to find it ;)
