[gentoo-dev] emerge -U world with mixed stable/unstable ebuilds

[Chris Bainbridge]

I have some unstable ~x86 ebuilds installed. When I emerge -U world I get 
errors like:

# emerge -U world --deep -p
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

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

Calculating world dependencies \
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-sci/lard-20030204" have been masked.
!!!    (dependency required by "app-sci/tbass-20030318" [ebuild])

!!! Problem with ebuild app-sci/tbass-20030318
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

I could modify my local portage tree after syncing to mark every ebuild I want 
stable, but is there an easier way? Preferably some way to update all stable 
ebuilds to the latest stable version and all unstable ones to the latest 
unstable...?

Trying again, after realizing that gento-dev dislikes attachments...

For a hideous hack that works right now (and is thus the solution I
use) check out the following shell scripts:

----- begin: stable-eup.sh -----
#! /bin/sh

NOCOLOR="true" emerge -up world \
        | grep '^\[ebuild' \
        | grep -v '^\[ebuild    UD\]' \
        | sed -re's/.*?\] (.*?)-[0-9
------ end: stable-eup.sh ------

---- begin: unstable-eup.sh ----
#! /bin/sh

NOCOLOR="true" emerge -up world \
        | grep '^\[ebuild' \
        | grep '^\[ebuild    UD\]' \
        | sed -re's/.*?\] (.*?)-[0-9].*/\1/' \
        | NOCOLOR="true" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" xargs emerge -p \
        | grep '^\[ebuild' \
        | grep -v '^\[ebuild   R  \]' \
        | sed -re's/.*?\] (.*?)-[0-9].*/\1/' \
        | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" xargs emerge "$@"
----- end: unstable-eup.sh -----
