[gentoo-user] Another hitch with get-binpkg

[gentoo-user] Another hitch with get-binpkg

[Peter Humphrey]

Greetings,

Today's update included  dev-lang/yasm 1.3.0-r1 >1.3.0-r2. It failed because 
the binpkg was not yet on the local mirror, so I tried this:

prh@cube ~ $ EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="${EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS} --usepkg-exclude 
'dev-lang/yasm' emerge -1 yasm"
prh@cube ~ $

So you can't exclude a package from usepkg and emerge it specifically.

Is this supposed to happen?

Hi Peter,

You seem to have misplaced a double-quote. It should be:

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="${EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS} --usepkg-exclude
'dev-lang/yasm"' emerge -1 yasm

Though I don't understand why you dont't just pass the option to emerge
directly:

emerge -1 --usepkg-exclude 'dev-lang/yasm" yasm

`${EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS}` isn't defined in your shell anyway, so that part
of your command evaluated to nothing.

Actually, your 'dev-lang/yasm"' should have been 'dev-lang/yasm'", but I take 
the point. My careless editing.

I didn't know I could do that.
