[gentoo-user] How do I modify work list of emerge --resume?

[gentoo-user] How do I modify work list of emerge --resume?

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I was 8 hours through the emerge -eav world part of upgrading gcc
when it hit the pysol package it's not happy with. The messages are
telling me I need to recompile python with Tkinter support and asked
me to add dev/lang/python X tk to package.use, which I did. However
emerge --resume won't go back and recompile python at this point and
if I start over it's a 575 package compile job and I was already
through about 200 of the packages.

   Is there any way to get python updated and then to resume the
remaining 375 packages where I am currently stopped?

   Can I somehow save the file emerge --resume is currently using,
emerge python with the changes, and then put the current worl list
back in?

   Better yet, can I somehow remove pysol from the list so the emerge
--resume just stoarts from the next package?

Thanks,
Mark

emerge --resume --skipfirst

seems to be doing what I need.

Sorry for the distraction

I don't know if you have other options but the following will work:

# emerge --resume --ask

Press Ctrl+z when you see the following question (that will suspend the emerge 
process after it has loaded the resume list):

"Would you like to resume merging these packages? [Yes/No]"

Then: 

# emerge -va1dev/lang/python

And when that is compiled with the X use flag enabled:

# fg

That will resume the emerge process. Now type yes[ENTER] to make it resume the 
compilation by answering that was asked before you suspended the process.

I hope that is clear enough.

That's an alternative route:

# emerge --skipfirst

Try "emerge --resume --skipfirst" and care about that python stuff
later ...

That's what emerge --resume --skipfirst is for.

For future reference, you can preserve the resume in two ways. 

1:  Rename /var/log/emerge.log to something else then go do what you
want and restore it after you are done.  I have done that a couple times.

2:  Open /var/log/emerge.log and put something in there you will find
easily.  You can put end of resume in all caps or something.  Go do what
needs doing then come back and delete everything back up to the line you
added, including the line you added.

I have not done that last one but have read it works well.

Also for furture reference since you likely already know this by now,
tkinter was replaced by tk.  If it helps you to feel any better, I found
out the same way you did.  Pysol failed to emerge for me too.  :-(

Hope that helps.

Err... what?? Did you mean /var/cache/edb/mtimedb??

Nope.  Just edit the /var/log/emerge.log file from what I have read.  I
have read it on the forums and read it here a few days ago.  I have
never tried it but others say it works.

Well, I assure you it is complete nonsense. According to portage devs, 
indeed... /var/log/emerge.log is just a log file. /var/cache/edb/mtimedb 
contains the resume data.

Yep. One of the reasons, why I *never* use "--resume".

When I need to recompile world, I use a tiny selfmade script, which
you can find on <http://askwar.pastebin.ca/166335>. This script will
rebuild a list of packages and will make sure, that packages, which
have already been built will NOT be built again.

Could that be renamed in a similar fashion and that work?  It looks like
it is not editable to me since it is a binary type of file.

Given the alternative posted in my first reply to this thread I wouldn't 
recommend it unless you know what you are doing. But I am not a portage 
dev...
