[gentoo-user] profile upgrade from 2005.1 to 2006.1

[gentoo-user] profile upgrade from 2005.1 to 2006.1

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

After an emerge sync, I followed the instructions in

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml

for updating to 2006.1.

Proceeding to the system update:

->emerge --update --deep --newuse --pretend --verbose system

I get this error message before the list of packages

************************************
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Possibly Invalid: 'virtual/x11 opengl? virtual/opengl opengl?
virtual/glu virtual/xft'
Exception: Conditional without parenthesis: 'opengl?'
*************************************

Is this related to the current modular use of X11? Later in the output
of system packages to be updated I get:

to emerge --search the latest version available for x11-base/xorg-x11 is
7.1.

Thanks for inputs.

In all likelihood that particular package used a format which is for
whatever reasons is no longer valid.  I would simply unmerge the package
and either manually merge a version that now exists in portage or
continue your update and it will likely get pulled in as a dependency.

Best practice when dealing with blocks: unmerge the package(s) which is
blocking (in your case <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9), then continue where you
left off before.  Continue as necessary.

Hi,

I think is better unmerge <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 and if you need emerge a
new packages because I see you trying to do an upgrade of your system..

I wonder what you think about emerge xorg-x11-7-1?...

Theese are my comments to help you, I hope so.

The blocker is <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9, which includes your current
version. You do need to unmerge it before emerging the modular Xorg, but
I'd recommend packaging it up with quickpkg first. Otherwise, if the X
upgrade fails for whatever reason, you could be faced with a lengthy
recompile before getting X back. Running quickpkg means you can re-emerge
the old version with --usepkg.

You should read the modular X migration guide before proceeding

I did unmerge my old X and the message went away.

Indeed by emerge unmerge the old X the blocking message also went away.
And the new many X11 subpackages are being pulled in.

A related issue. My current gcc version is 3.3.6 and the new profile is
pulling an update

[ebuild     U ] sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6-r1 [3.3.6] USE="doc%* fortran nls
(-altivec) -bootstrap -boundschecking -build -gcj -gtk* (-hardened)
-ip28 -ip32r10k% (-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nocxx -nopie
-nossp -objc -test% -vanilla (-static%)" 47 kB

and also the new 4.1.

[ebuild  NS   ] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r3  USE="doc fortran nls (-altivec)
-bootstrap -build -gcj -gtk (-hardened) -ip28 -ip32r10k -mudflap
(-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nocxx -objc -objc++ -objc-gc -test
-vanilla" 38,326 kB

I am worried about some of the flags. Notably, -nocxx. The description
of this flag in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc

nocxx - Disable support for C++ (DON'T USE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE DOING)

-nocxx is been set by the 2006.1 profile; I guess.

Any inputs as far as what flags to change?

Also is gcc-4.1 in a pretty good shape to use?

Thanks,

Clearly it is not set as indicated by the minus in front of it. And it should 
be set. Please read the handbook...

Sure. As long as you follow the gcc upgrade guide carefully.

Well we'd assume because you asked that you don't know what you're
doing, so I wouldn't use it. ;-)

In general USE flags are highly individualistic, and just because I use
a given set of USE flags for a package, they might not apply to you.  My
advice is to get a general idea of what the USE flags are for and
determine for yourself if/when they need changing.  If you have no
particular reason for changing them why not take the defaults.  They're
usually reasonable/safe and you can always change them later.

> Also is gcc-4.1 in a pretty good shape to use?

It's been marked stable on most platforms, so I would guess that there
is a general understanding that it is ok.  As always YMMV. You may want
to check bugzilla.
