[gentoo-dev] merging an ebuild that's there, but isn't there

[gentoo-dev] merging an ebuild that's there, but isn't there

[David]

I want to install a lisp package so I can use it. I change directories to
/usr/portage/dev-lisp/ and try to emerge sbcl/sbcl-0.6.12.ebuild only to
find that 

!!! ebuild dev-lisp/sbcl-0.6.12 not found (possibly blocked by package.mask)

Looking into portage/profiles/package.mask, I find no mention of any of
the lisp ebuilds. I now have no idea what to do. Does anyone have a
suggestion or explanation for what's happening?

Well, the quick answer is to do 'ebuild dev-lisp/sbcl-0.6.12.ebuild 
merge', but that doesn't fix the problem, only averts it.

I see the same thing, but I can't figure out why it is hidden either.

Hi!

I believe it is because "dev-lisp" isn't listed as a category in the
master category list in /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py

You are correct, sir!  So that  brings up a question I have had.  Why 
are the categories hard-coded in this file?  Drobbins, is this 
necessary?    It seems like it might be better to just look at the 
contents of /usr/portage to get this information.  That also makes local 
Portage setups a little easier.

Wow! You are our first Lisp user. I am the Lispmeister currently. Any bugs
you find are my fault. 

As for the category, it has not been added to Portage yet. Use the manual
merging method for now. Since we've not had any Lisp users, priority has
been very low for this.


Kind regards,

I'll make sure the category shows up in the next Portage release.  For now, you
can edit /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py, and search for this text:

categories=("app-i18n", "app-admin", "app-arch", "app-cdr", "app-crypt",
"app-doc", "app-editors", "app-emulation", "app-games", "app-misc",
"app-office", "app-shells", "app-text", "dev-db", "dev-java", "dev-lang",
"dev-libs", "dev-lisp", "dev-perl", "dev-python", "dev-ruby", "dev-util",
"gnome-base", "gnome-extra", "kde-apps", "kde-i18n", "kde-base", "kde-libs",
"media-gfx", "media-libs", "media-sound", "media-video", "net-analyzer",
"net-apache", "net-dialup", "net-fs", "net-ftp", "net-im", "net-irc",
"net-libs", "net-mail", "net-misc", "net-news", "net-nds", "net-print",
"net-www", "packages", "sys-apps", "sys-devel", "sys-kernel", "sys-libs",
"x11-base", "x11-libs", "x11-misc", "x11-terms", "x11-wm", "virtual",
"dev-tcltk")

Then, simply add "dev-lisp" to the tuple.

Well, I'm not really too much of a lisp user. I want to install a lisp compiler
so I can start learning lisp and then be a lisp user. Which package do you personally
think is the best? I want something that's got sockets (if there is such a thing in
lisp-land).

CMUCL has sockets. As sbcl is a derivative of CMUCL, I guess it has
sockets, too.
