There are a lot of warnigns, but no explanations except 'users will not be protected in case they need to downgrade a package or re-install a previously removed package.' or similar. And thanks for example. #kstn

BTW what troubles can I get from 'eclean-dist -d' ? As far as I understand it, re-download needed tar.gz will be the worst isn't it? #kstn > On 11/20/2016 08:55 AM, Mick wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > Following an update I just ran: > > > > # /usr/bin/eclean-dist > > * Building file list for distfiles cleaning... > > * Your distfiles directory was already clean. > > > > However, looking at source files of firefox as an example I see there are > > obsolete sources to be gotten rid of: > > > > ls -la /usr/portage/distfiles/firefox-45.* > > -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 22260 Nov 20 03:07 > > /usr/portage/distfiles/firefox-45.0-patches-08.tar.xz > > -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage423871 Sep 20 13:37 > > /usr/portage/distfiles/firefox-45.4.0esr-en-GB.xpi > > -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 185182396 Sep 20 13:38 > > /usr/portage/distfiles/firefox-45.4.0esr.source.tar.xz > > -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage423871 Nov 15 09:54 > > /usr/portage/distfiles/firefox-45.5.0esr-en-GB.xpi > > -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 184838132 Nov 15 09:55 > > /usr/portage/distfiles/firefox-45.5.0esr.source.tar.xz > > > > If I have firefox-45.5.0 installed, why is firefox-45.4.0esr.source.tar.xz > > not > > removed by eclean? > > > >
Re: [gentoo-user] plain copy of root disk won't work

Didn't you do this from working system on hda? In this case there really could be troubles with special files etc. Imho live-cd better for this purpose. At any case imho it's better to split this task 0. Boot from live-cd. 1. Copy partitions from hda to sda (cp or rsync) 2. Edit fstab on sda. 3. Configure grub on HDA to see hda and sda systems, 4. Try to boot sda. 5. If all is good, configure grub on sda, and change BIOS boot order. As Canek wrote rsync is great for this task, but beware - last '/' in '/source/directory/' means! #kstn
