As to slots, here is how I understand it. For example, KDE currently has two slots: 3.5 and 4.

The others are in portage but not installed. If I recall correctly the [ ~] means it is keyworded. The [M~] means it is keyworded and masked. Although some do, including myself, it is not recommended to use masked or keyworded packages as they are not fully tested or may have issues. I do use them sometimes myself but not for crucial stuff. The slots are at the end. Note the (3.5) and (kde-4) at the end of each one, that is the slots designation for the packages. If you choose, you can have both slots installed at the same time. I think the output is pretty much the same for eix, equery and emerge. Someone correct me if I typed in a boo boo.

[gentoo-user] Simplistic bash-script to manage package.use
greetings earthlings,
i did not found (nor did i look for long enough) any tools/scripts to
easily manage package.use file, so i did my own. now i started to think
that, if there really is not any, my creation would be sufficient
(although possibly buggy) for most users who wish to have easy control
over package.use.
yes, i know this is not the best place to announce but, this is not an
real announcement, this is an query for an superior solution which would
show my creation to be useless/dublicate/stupid. (if mine is
useless/stupid it would be nice, so i would not have to maintain it and
i also could use some real software).

Re: [gentoo-user] Simplistic bash-script to manage package.use
Hi, the question is: is it really necessary? If I want to add a new entry into this file I just call echo category/package myflags /etc/portage/package.use and if I want to edit them I just call my favorite editor, use its search capabilities and change the line. So I don't really see the benefit of a command line tool, since I still need to write flags, package and everything and the tools I'm using now (mostly echo, grep and vim) to do this are not very complicated and most of the typing goes to the use flags and package name anyway.

How does a person restart udev anyway? Do I have to reboot? I also deleted all the files in /etc/udev before re-emerging udev, just in case. I'm about out of ideas here.

Re: [gentoo-user] spamassassin-3.2.1-r1 emerge failure

But my first 3 attempts to emerge spamassassin have failed. (on x86). For one thing, there's a detection process near the beginning that is failing to detect Perl modules that are actually present, and from portage not CPAN. First it was Digest-SHA1. Re-emerging it fixed that, so maybe there was bitrot somewhere. But now it's doing the same thing with Mail::DKIM, but that's fortunately not a show-stopper like SHA1, but it's still worrisome. Now the show-stopper is some access violations that make no sense to me. It says it could not 'mkdir /usr/share/spamassassin', but I could do it from the command line (as root). Having done it, it still complained but proceeded to report an access violation on an attempt to 'chmod 0644 something'. I could also do that one from the command-line. G. Has anyone seen this, and know of a workaround? Use mail-filter/bogofilter? It uses bayesian techniques too, and I *think* it's compatible with SpamAssassin (I use Evolution, and it lets you choose among both of them). -- Fred Allen - Television is a medium because anything well done is rare. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
