Hi, I want to compile mplayer in a way not supported by the ebuild and use portage only to keep record of the files installed in system for future uninstallation.
The system amd64 stable. I have done the following: (1) echo media-video/mplayer >> /etc/portage/package.keywords // "emerge -p mplayer" now gives: media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p24929-r2 // (2) echo media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p24929-r2 >> /etc/portage/package.provided (3) ebuild `equery w mplayer` unpack (4) cd $PORTAGE_TMPDIR/portage/media-video/mplayer-*/work/mplayer* (5) ./configure --the-way-I-want-it-to-be (6)make (7) cd ../../ (8) touch .compiled (9) ebuild `equery w mplayer` merge Everything seems to be OK until I try "emerge -DuNav world". After this point portage wants to rebuild mplayer, showing all USE flags as newly added (e.g. "alsa%"). I expected putting mplayer into /etc/portage/package.keywords to make portage ignore this package. Where is my mistake and what is the correct method I should follow? -- Best regards, Daniel -- [email protected] mailing list
