[gentoo-amd64] Old package in portage ?

[Vladimir Strycek]

Hi all

o facing issue with rrdtool on gentoo amd64 box.. mainly python 
extension for it...

net-analyzer/rrdtool 1.2.15-r3
py-rrdtool 1.0_beta1
Python 2.4.3
GCC 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r2, ssp-3.4.6-1.0, pie-8.7.10

it give me error like this:

 >>> import rrdtool
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initrrdtool)

I was told that this issue has been fixed in new version of rrd tool rrdtool 1.2.23-r1 but this one isnt in portage..

Do i have to compile it from source my self ?

It is. Just use testing branch:

It's in portage.  I'm guessing you either haven't synced in awhile, or 
you aren't seeing it as you are running stable arch (amd64 in this case) 
and the package in question isn't stabilized yet, tho it's keyworded 
~arch (unstable, ~amd64 in our case).  Assuming you've synced, it's almost
certainly the latter.  You'll need to add the package to your
package.keywords file as appropriate.  See the portage documentation in
the Gentoo handbook (installation is just one section of several,
you know, and there's a LOT of stuff in the other sections, particularly
the working with Gentoo and working with Portage sections, that make a
Gentoo sysadmin's job FAR easier than it'd be otherwise) and portage
and emerge manpages.

There's a script, earch, that I picked up on the dev list some time ago, 
that lists the versions of a package and the latest stable and ~arch 
versions for each arch.  Here's what it reports for rrdtool:

$earch rrdtool
rrdtool-1.0.49[0]:
rrdtool-1.2.15-r3[0]: alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 mips ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86
rrdtool-1.2.19[0]:
rrdtool-1.2.23[0]:
rrdtool-1.2.23-r1[0]: ~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sh ~sparc ~x86

So rrdtool-1.2.23-r1 is keyworded ~amd64, while 1.2.15-r3 is the
latest stable.

That's what I thought, too.  I did discover there's a gentoolkit-dev 
package the other day, the parallel to gentoolkit but for scripts 
primarily of use to devs.  Maybe earch is in it?  In any case, it /is/ a 
handy script.  There are a number of optional parameters that do things 
like show masking and the reasons thereof, etc, tho I don't use them all 
that often.  Still handy when I do, however.

I have the home page around here somewhere...

Ah... yes...  robbat2's work.  Seems like I can update, too, as I have 
earch-0.9 and the newest is 0.9.2, as of May 29, 2006.  (I think it was 
0.7 or earlier when I first grabbed it.  As I said, he posted it to the 
dev list.)

http://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/

Note that at one point it broke, against ~arch portage.  It /may/ have 
been due to FEATURES=-metadata-transfer, but I'm not sure.  Anyway, it's 
working again here now.

FYI: Another program with a similar functionality is eix.  
[I] app-portage/eix
     Available versions:  0.8.8 ~0.9.1 ~0.9.2 ~0.9.3 ~0.9.4 ~0.9.6
     Installed versions:  0.8.8(13:02:21 03/14/07)(-sqlite)
     Homepage:            http://eix.sourceforge.net
     Description:         Small utility for searching ebuilds with
indexing for fast results

Hope this Helps.

For the searching, I use esearch.  For the version listing, earch does a 
bit better as it lists the stable and ~arch versions /per/ /arch/, not 
just on the current arch.  Of course, as I said, that's more a developer 
feature.

I also mentioned that it had some other options, without listing them.  
Here's the --help output (-m is useful here, if it were primarily user 
oriented -f would be the default so that's useful, and -v, most of the 
others are more developer oriented).

~$earch --help
Gentoo last arch keyword checking tool, with SLOT and masking support

Usage:
earch [opts] [CP]
If CP is omitted, the current directory is used.

Options:
-c|--category
  Include category in output.

-f|--follow-etc-portage
  By default, earch acts like repoman and ignores /etc/portage.
  This option disables that behavior.

-h|--help
  This help page.

-H|--hide-masked
  Exclude all masked versions from output.

-i|--ignore-redundant
  Exclude redudant versions from keyword output.
  Redundant versions are those output by -r.

-m|--masking-reason
  For all masked versions, print masking reason.
  Disables other output.

-o|--one-slot
  Consider SLOT values as if they were all equal.
  This effectively disables SLOTs from consideration.

-r|--remove-pkgs
  Show all redundant versions to clean from the tree.

-s|--slot <SLOT,...>
  SLOT values to provide output for, seperated by commas.

-v|--version
  earch version output.

Explaination of output:
# earch [$CATEGORY/$PN]
$PF[$SLOT]: $KEYWORDS
If a specific version is masked, a (M) will preceed the keywords.
