[gentoo-dev] Portage-2.0.47-r4 -- Testing

[gentoo-dev] Portage-2.0.47-r4 -- Testing

[Nick Jones]

Portage-2.0.47-r4 is out for testing. It's masked in package.mask as
always. This one should be ready for public release. Test please and
give me feedback.

This one is mostly cleanups of 2.0.47-r3 and fixes to the changes from
group wheel to group portage. Note that all actions are now preceded by
'--' and are effectively flags.

--NJ

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

25 Feb 2003; Nicholas Jones <carpaski@gentoo.org> *: Update docs and help
to match the deprecation of actions without '--' preceding them.

25 Feb 2003; Nicholas Jones <carpaski@gentoo.org> portage.py: Message
updates. Fix secpass for portage user. Set PORTAGE_GID for ebuild.sh to
use regardless of GID in use (wheel/portage). Only try and delete things
in PORTAGE_TMPDIR if we have perms to do it... see secpass note. Moved the
cachedir creation after settings in created so that we can use spawn instead
of system for the calls to 'chown/chmod -R'. Fix the note on make.defaults.
Fix for the 404 catcher in the fetch code.

25 Feb 2003; Nicholas Jones <carpaski@gentoo.org> emerge: Move all actions
into '--action' form -- Notify of deprecated usages. Moved the functions
from the top of emerge down below the command line parser for readability.
Kill FEATURES=noauto if we're running emerge -- it can break things. Make
-U imply -u so people aren't confused. --debug now enables all debug
variables in portage. Fix wheel/portage group requirements messages. Get
the current portage version when doing rsync via the portage tree's files
and not the loaded cache so that it is aware of changes immediately instead
of the next run. 

25 Feb 2003; Nicholas Jones <carpaski@gentoo.org> ebuild.sh: Try to change
to good a good path at the start of the ebuild to prevent operations from
happening in places like home. After the ebuild's install phase, check to
see if any unsafe perm combo's exist and die if they do. Fix permissions
on the cachedir as we're changing them to root:portage. &> on environment
file prevented it from actually creating the file -- changed to 2>. Change
'true' to 'exit 0' to be a bit more explicit about what we're doing.

24 Feb 2003; Alain Penders <alain@gentoo.org> repoman: Added
nested/sub-shell die testing.

23 Feb 2003; Alain Penders <alain@gentoo.org>: Added bin/portageq tool to
provide access to portage internal information without using APIs that
are changing.  All tools that currently access portage information by
importing portage.py and poking around in it should switch to using this
tool instead. Changed some tools in bin/ to use it, so those won't break
either.

I was the one having problems with /dev/port. I just wanted to let you know, 
that I upgraded to 2.0.47-r4, and I'm no longer having problems. Thanks for 
all the hard work guys.

[gentoo-dev] Downgrade from gnome 2.2 to gnome 1.4 with emerge -u world?

[Benjamin Podszun]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3245 bytes --]

Hi there.

emerge -up --deep world gives me

[ebuild    UD] gnome-base/gnome-panel-1.4.2-r2 [2.2.0.1-r1] 

I don't think that it's really a good idea to downgrade that far, right?
;) Any hints what could cause the problem?

Another thing quite funny is that everytime I run emerge -u wold portage
switches netpbm's version. Currently I get this:

[ebuild    UD] media-libs/netpbm-9.12-r4 [10.11.5] 

Just downgrading it and running emerge -up --deep world again turns the
versions and wants to upgrade netpbm back to the prior version. Any
suggestions on that?

Thanks for your help,
Ben

The complete output of my current emerge -up --deep world:

blafasel root # emerge -up --deep world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

[gentoo-dev] emerge rsync

[Benjamin Podszun]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 344 bytes --]

Hi.

Another odd thing I noticed is that it's quite hard to emerge rsync,
when you just want to emerge the damn rsync package ;)

emerge -u rsync tries to sync the ports tree instead of installing the
app. Is this fixed in the new portage version?

( Note that all actions are now preceded by '--' and are effectively
flags. )

Use emerge -u net-misc/rsync

Hi,

to emerge the rsync package you need to type:

emerge net-misc/rsync

That should work just fine.

Or if you're lazy and can't ever remember which category rsync is in,
you can always do 'emerge ">rsync-0"'. Just don't forget the quotes.

SLOT ;)

gnome-panel 1.4 and 2.x are mutually nonintrusive (this -r2 is a fix for
1.4 so it won't overwrite 2.x's screenshooter util) and they will both
stay happily in your system

the reason you might have gnome-panel 1.4 installed might be that you
have some gnome program that wants to install a panel applet, but is
still at the gtk-1.2 era (gnome 1.4 ). This makes the panel applet
incompatible with the new gnome-panel, so it pulls in the old gtk 1.2
panel, and builds nicely against it. (in fact you can actually run the
gnome 1.4 panel on a gnome2 desktop : "panel &" ;)

Thanks for this answer, but isn't it strange that portage calls this a
downgrade? Perhaps the "D" should be Slot-specific?
After all this seems to be an upgrade of the gnome1.4-slot, right?

yes, this appears to be malworking in how portage displays such status
notes, please let the portage developers know :)
