[gentoo-user] script to recursively unmask a package
Howdy,
I was wanting to install just kdebase-3.4.0 without unmasking all of
kde-3.4.0. The "HOWTO
Update KDE 3.3 to KDE 3.4"
(http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Update_KDE_3.3_to_KDE_3.4)
suggested running emerge kdebase -p, find a package that is blocking,
then add that package to
/etc/portage/packages.keywords, and repeat until no more packages are
blocking. Tedious.
So here's a perl script to do just that. It will work for any package.
Usage: unmask.pl packageName
-- begin: unmask.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# quick hack to recursively unmask all packages that are blocking the given
# package from emerging.
# usage: unmask.pl packageName
print "unmasking:=$ARGV[0]\n";
&doit;
exit(0);
# doit()
sub doit {
local $flag = 1;
local $package = $ARGV[0];
while($flag) {
$flag = 0;
open my $fh, "emerge $package -p|" || die "could not open:
emerge $package -p";
while(<$fh>) {
if(/^\-\s+(.*)\-[\d\.]+\s+\(masked
by\:\s+(\~\S+)\s+keyword\)/) {
unmask($1, $2);
$flag = 1;
last;
}
}
close($fh);
}
}
# unmask the file by adding it to /etc/portage/package.keywords
sub unmask
{
local($name, $arch) = @_;
print "unmasking: $name\n";
open my $fh, ">>/etc/portage/package.keywords" || die "can't open
package.keywords: $!";
print $fh "$name $arch\n";
close $fh;
}
-- end: unmask.pl
Have fun,
Roy

Re: [gentoo-user] script to recursively unmask a package
Howdy,
I'm trying to figure out how to make an ebuild for this (my first
ebuild). It's kind of too simple for
the normal ebuild examples. I.e., no make needed, just a cp and chmod.
Also there is a small correction needed to a regex in it to handle -rN
and _pN
packages.
if(/^\-\s+(.*)\-[\d\.]+\s+\(masked
by\:\s+(\~\S+)\s+keyword\)/) {
should be changed to:
if(/^\-\s+(.*)\-[\d\.]+[\_\-a-zA-Z\d]*\s+\(masked
by\:\s+(\~\S+)\s+keyword\)/) {
Have fun,
Roy

Re: [gentoo-user] Using the Cryptographic File System as your home directory
Please! If you want beta testers for your howto, I'm game with a fresh install of Gentoo on an old PC (Athlon 800 and yes, last night was it's first night not running emerge ;-) Thank you, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: [OT] - BIOS after Gentoo is up
Howdy, Just did a search "linux xbox bios" and hit http://xbox-linux.org which sounds like exactly what you are looking for. HTH, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Howl build error
I had the same problem. I used the latest masked version of howl and got around it. HTH, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
