[gentoo-user] Xine-ui masked?

[gentoo-user] Xine-ui masked?

[Daniel Pielmeier]

Hello,

recently i have installed xine -ui.

A few days before when i do

emerge -pv --deep --newuse --update world

it shows me the following output


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

Calculating world dependencies
!!! Packages for the following atoms are either all
!!! masked or don't exist:
media-video/xine-ui

 ...done!

Total size of downloads: 0 kB


Is xine-ui marked as masked recently?

At http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=xine-ui it is marked stable.

emerge -s xine-ui shows me


Searching...
[ Results for search key : xine-ui ]

      Latest version available: 0.99.4-r3

What is wrong here?

I am not sure, but check what you do have in
/usr/portage/media-video/xine-ui . Just a few hours after my last sync I
have got just one ebuild - stable xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.ebuild

If you find it, check its contents - what keywords are there for
your architecture.

I see: KEYWORDS="~alpha amd64 ~hppa ppc ppc64 sparc x86"

If your arch has proper keyword, then look inside
/etc/portage/package.mask and search for xine-ui in
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
(grep xine /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask)

You may want to check other package.mask files in your portage profile
hirarchy.

Having said all this, I suggest you issue the command:
  emerge -pv xine-ui
as it usually, pretty verbosely, says what is going on.

Example:
  #  emerge -pv toxine
  These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
  Calculating dependencies
  !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "toxine" have been masked.
  !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
  - media-video/toxine-0.6.3 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
  # Diego Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (18 August 2005)
  # Toxine needs to be verified with upstream for a few issues.
  For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
  refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

You do have the latest portage, don't you?

Re: [gentoo-user] Xine-ui masked?

[Daniel Pielmeier]

Under /usr/portage/media-video/xine-ui i find the
xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.ebuild and stable it is stable too.

KEYWORDS="~alpha amd64 ~hppa ppc ppc64 sparc x86"

I am running gentoo on x86 so i think it has to be stable.

I have no masked xine-ui versions in

/etc/portage/package.mask
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask.

emerge -pv xine-ui

shows me

I use portage version 2.0.54

You mentioned that there are other package.mask files in the portage
profile, but where are they?

I assume you have not synced recently? I have only one ebuild, you have
three.
They are masked by keyword - and you have just said that in
xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.ebuild KEYWORDS contained 'x86', not '~x86'.

So, I feel some strange disturbance in force...

Just out of curiosity: try 'grep xine /etc/portage/*' ?
Have you set portage overlay?

Same here.

These files may be traversed by portage when it 'combines' the profile
following 'parent' file in your profile directory and in each directory
pointed by the 'parent' file. See:
$ ls -l /etc/make.profile

$ cat /etc/make.profile/parent

$ cat /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/parent
../base

Re: [gentoo-user] Xine-ui masked? [Solved]

[Daniel Pielmeier]

Thank you,

in one portage overlay i use there are three ebuilds

media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3
media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r2
media-video/xine-ui-0.99.3-r1

and they are all marked ~x86.

In the nomal portage tree i have only one ebuild

media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3

and it is marked x86.

I have removed the ~x86 media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.ebuild in the
overlay manually and at the moment i emerge media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.

Ebuilds from overlay are always ~arch, afaik. Overlays are not
considered "stable" for what seem to me to be obvious reasons; namely
that only the Portage tree itself can mark ebuilds as stable, and since
these ebuilds are not part of the "legal" Portage system, who is
supposed to judge? and secondly,  that overlay ebuilds, which could come
from anywhere, could never "out of the box" be considered "stable" -- as
in working-- by the official Portage tree (which is really just another
way of saying the first part).

Anyway,

as far as I know, this is the correct solution; the other point of an
overlay is that you keep an eye on it, and if an overlay ebuild does in
fact make it into the regular Portage tree, you should remove the
overlay build from the overlay and let Portage take over (since, if I
recall something that Neil said some time ago, overlay ebuilds will
always supercede Portage ebuilds if they duplicate each other,
version-wise). That's what works for me, anyway.

I humbly disagree. ;)
As in /usr/portage also in portage overlay ebuild is
stable if you mark it stable using KEYWORDS.

Portage overlays are our 'private' portage trees, and they are in no thing
'worse' than 'official' ebuilds.
You know that old saying:
 'A Gentooman's overlay is his castle'
;)

You clearly haven't seen, or even imagined, some of my initial attempts
at ebuild writing, which naturally resided in my overlay tree.
