[gentoo-dev] profile: specific versions in virtuals

[gentoo-dev] profile: specific versions in virtuals

[Lluís Batlle i Rossell]

Hi!

I decided to create a new profile for me, using my own virtuals. As I was
creating mine, I liked to have a specific version of headers and sources in my
virtuals definition.
For specifying a version, I've to type a "=" in front of the ebuild, and add the
version to it. So, I use:
virtual/linux-sources   =sys-kernel/development-sources-2.6.7
virtual/os-headers      =sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4

But having a = in the name makes portage to ignore the virtuals definition.

Maybe that's a bug... maybe that's a "feature" for denying specific version
usage in virtuals - Which is the intention, in that case? :)

Thanks!

Virtuals are not versionable at present. They probably will be one day, but in 
a different way that's not like what you are doing here. What you appear to 
be trying to do is achievable by using the correct files.

To do what you are trying to do, try the following:

virtuals:
virtual/linux-sources   sys-kernel/development-sources
virtual/os-headers      sys-kernel/linux26-headers

package.mask:
>sys-kernel/development-sources-2.6.7
>sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4

I've just tried... and I get a strange emerge error.
I've tried changing the ">" lines in package.mask to "=" lines - I haven't found
doc about those symbols in package.mask... I didn't search too much. :)

Well, the message after following your indications is:
!!! Error: the sys-kernel/linux-headers package conflicts with another package.
!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

When using "-p" in emerge, nothing blocks the linux headers. Here is a partial
answer of the "-pv":
[binary  N    ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r6  to /tmp/stage1root/ -bootstrap*
+build* -livecd (-selinux) -static (-uclibc)
[ebuild  N    ] sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4  to /tmp/stage1root/ +build
0 kB
[binary  N    ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1  to /tmp/stage1root/ +build*
-debug -erandom -hardened -makecheck -multilib -nls* -nptl -pic -userlocales
[binary  N    ] app-arch/bzip2-1.0.2-r3  to /tmp/stage1root/ +build* -cross
-debug -static
[binary  N    ] app-arch/gzip-1.3.5-r2  to /tmp/stage1root/ +build* -debug -nls*
-pic -static
[binary  N    ] app-arch/ncompress-4.2.4-r1  to /tmp/stage1root/ +build*
[binary  N    ] app-arch/tar-1.14  to /tmp/stage1root/ +build* -debug -nls*
-static
....

That happens creating a stage1 using catalyst.
Any clue?

Re: [gentoo-dev] profile: specific versions in virtuals

[Lluís Batlle i Rossell]

I succeded solving the error uninstalling "linux-headers" first in the root of
stage1 tmp of catalyst.
I can't understand that, as "ROOT" environment variable is used when calling
emerge.

If I don't add the "package.mask" file to my profile (then, using the latest 2.6
versions of headers), that error doesn't happen. That's quite strange.

Actually, the virtual *should* say sys-kernel/development-sources

...then in the packages file, you specify
=sys-kernel/development-sources-2.6.7

I'm pretty sure the virtuals are designed to only allow a package nam
eon purpose.

The best place for catalyst support is the gentoo-releng mailing list.
That is where the Release Engineering team all are and also all of the
arch coordinators.
