Re: [gentoo-user] package version notification (~/+)?
I just read this in the developer's guide: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/index.html |~app-misc/foo-1.23| Version 1.23 (or any |1.23-r*|) is required. I was wondering if this would work in package.keywords, package.mask, etc. so tried it. It does appear to work... # eix -e portage * sys-apps/portage Available versions: 2.0.51.22-r3 2.0.54-r2 2.1 2.1-r1 2.1.1_pre1-r5 2.1.1_pre2-r2 # echo ~sys-apps/portage-2.1 /etc/portage/package.mask # eix -e portage * sys-apps/portage Available versions: 2.0.51.22-r3 2.0.54-r2 [M]2.1 [M]2.1-r1 2.1.1_pre1-r5 2.1.1_pre2-r2 Have fun, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I *believe* that previously the operators were explained in man portage, but I see now that not even the old operators = = = are there but instead we are referred to ebuild. For my previous msg I just searched for ~ and didn't think of the possibility that all the operators moved. My error, sorry. allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] package version notification (~/+)?
Hi, I want to install spamass-milter but I have to unmask it because all versions are ~amd64 masked (I do not like it, I wanted to stick with +amd64). Is there any way of being automaticly informed when (if) a certain packages get +amd64 from ~amd64? I would like to go back to fully stable versions asap... Similarly dovecot: again no stable version for amd64. Is amd64 something like unwanted child? I found quite many packages which are stable for x86, but only ~amd64...

It will only be upgraded when a newer version goes stable. -- Neil Bothwick Multitasking: Reading in the bathroom. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I run an almost entirely stable system, and want to keep it that way. But occassionally there is something I want that is currently ~x86, for instance amarok. So what you're saying is that if I #echo =media-sound/amarok-1.4.0a-r1 /etc/portage/package.keywords I will not get the next testing version of amarok, but will get the next stable? If this is true, it's only further proof of how dense I can be at times.

The line you are adding to package.keywords says that for *the specific version listed* (since you begin with =) you will emerge it, if it is keyworded (or stable). For any other version, in particular for the next version issued from upstream, the line you added says nothing. Hence, since you are running a stable system, only stable versions (except for 1.4.0a-r1) are eligible for emerging. allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You know, I just went back and re-read the man page for portage, and it made perfect sense. I'd read that fucking page probably 10 times before and didn't get it.
