Hi, I am installing sbcl directly from the authors source, because I want the then created pdf docs (emerge only installs html docs).
I emerge sbcl, asfd, uiop with emerge, bootstrapped/installed sbcl manually to /usr/local, emerge -C sbcl, depcleaned asdf uiop (and other stuff) and emerged asdf, uiop again, which put an entry of them into world and depclean will no long offer them for removing. But asdf, uiop alone make no sense in the eyes of emerge and it pulls sbcl again -- which is reasonable for one not looking additionally at /usr/local :) There is package.provided to give emerge the OK, to not longe speculate about the existence the world and everything and take 42 things as given. But as far as I understood the syntax there, one has to specify any single version of a package and if you miss one it gets installed. Masking a needed package (from emerge point of view) isn't that nice also, since with every sync one will get that nasty warnings, that a needed package is masked. Any clean way around this? Thanks a lot for any help in advance! Cheers Meino
