[gentoo-laptop] Kernel Slots

[gentoo-laptop] Kernel Slots

[Boris]

Hi Everyone!


I already googled and looked over the gentoo.org Wegsite. Question:
I have several versions of gentoo-sources in /usr/src/ .
How can I remove the old slots? Would be nice to know. Thank you.
Also The old Kde (version 3.4) is redundant.. So how does it work with 
slots in general? in the "man portage" and "man emerge" pages the slots 
are only METNIONED but not explained..

greetings, Eis

Hi!
I guess the -P Prune option can help you, but it does not handle multiple  
versions very well.
I removed all my gentoo-sources because i switched to hardened-sources  
lately by simply,
issuing an "emerge -C gentoo-sources" (This removes ALL slots). Of course,  
you should make
a backup of your .config.
I don't know about Kde, maybe pruning all kde packages would help. Pruning  
world is no good
idea i think, because of some packets, you need more then one version  
installed.

greetings, Stefan

First do a:
emerge unmerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources -vp

You'll see a list of selected (and installed sources).


After that unmerge all unused sources by specifying their exact version 
or use a place mark (*) for multiple matchings:
emerge unmerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-[VERSION] -va

again, you will see which sources are affected and which are omitted.


regards,
Chris

If you're using the latest kernel version (having followed something 
like the gentoo wiki "How to upgrade your Kernel" guide), then all you 
should have had to do was "emerge -P gentoo-sources".It pretty much 
worked like merge -C except it leaves the current one, and the process 
also included that 5 second  option of you stopping the unmerge of all 
the old ones in case you want to stop the process. I actually just used 
it to remove all my old gentoo-sources packages on friday and it worked 
like a charm.

Prune removes all the versions but the last, not the current one.
For exemple, I have old sources on my laptop and use the 2.6.17-r4, which is
not the last (2.6.17-r7) :

ptigris ~ # emerge -pP gentoo-sources

>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
    selected: 2.6.16-r9 2.6.16-r12 2.6.16-r13 2.6.17-r4
   protected: 2.6.17-r7
     omitted: none

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

It wants to remove the one I use, so I want use this command, I must
recompile the last one with my .config file.

sorry, the last sentence is :

It wants to remove the one I use, so IF I want use this command, I must
recompile the last one with my .config file.

Which is why I started with saying, "If you're using the latest kernel 
version..." Of course, you could upgrade the kernel and not have the 
issue of emerge -P wanting to remove your current one.
