[gentoo-user] package.provided syntax

[gentoo-user] package.provided syntax

[Harry Putnam]

I'm currently trying to get thru an emerge -vuD world but having
various things crop up.  Some I thought were handled long ago like
this overlooking what is in package.provided:

  rsnapshot-1.2.2
  bacula-1.48.5
  cvs-emacs-24

The last two are fake versions so they would stay ahead of what ever
comes into portage for a while.  My understanding is that portage
looks here, and if the version is newer it by passes these packages.

So this should not happen:

emerge -vuDp app-editors/emacs-cvs
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

  Calculating dependencies... done!
  [ebuild U ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 [22.0.50] USE="X gif
  gtk jpeg nls png spell -Xaw3d -tiff" 0 kB

Oh, and why is `tiff' turned off (-tiff)?

Don't you see that cvs-emacs is not the same as emacs-cvs, or was this 
just a typo on your part?

The example for package.provided syntax in `man portage` shows categories like this:

app-backup/rsnapshot-1.2.2
app-backup/bacula-1.48.5
app-editors/emacs-cvs-24


And like Dave said, you have cvs-emacs rather than emacs-cvs.

I thought it was a brain-dead case of blindness for a moment but on
changing /etc/portage/package.provide to:

  rsnapshot-1.2.2
  bacula-1.48.5
  emacs-cvs-24

This still turns up in:  emerge -vDup world

[ebuild U ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 [22.0.50] USE="X gif gtk
jpeg nls png spell -Xaw3d -tiff" 0 kB

So what do think it means?

Haa there it is.... 
Another dopey message was sent before I saw this, and the real sorry
part is that I've been caught by this before and not too long ago.

I've recently done a full reinstall from scratch and when I redid that
part I forgot about it again...

Ok, I'm a little gun shy to post this now but I'm still seeing
somethign screwy.

cat /etc/portage/package.provided
app-backup/rsnapshot-1.2.2
app-backup/bacula-1.48.5
app-editors/emacs-cvs-24

emerge -vp app-editors/emacs-cvs:
  These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
  Calculating dependencies... done!
    [ebuild U ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 [22.0.50] USE="X gif
    gtk jpeg nls png spell -Xaw3d -tiff" 0 kB


Man portage mentions a version must be included:
                     Format:
                     - comments begin with #
                     - one DEPEND atom per line
                     - relational operators are not allowed
                     - must include a version

It also says:
  . . . . . . Portage will  not  attempt  to  update  a
  package  that  is  listed  here  unless  another  package
  explicitly requires a version that is newer than what has
  been  listed.

So I thought maybe it didn't like my fake version so changed it to:

   app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1
And I still get the same output.  

Removing the -r1 since its not really emacs versioning and I still get
the same output...
Something is making emerge ignore this package.provided

notice anything about the versions? the dependancy is obviously version 
specific, so yuor provision will need to be also

Hi,
In my case (using it a little but think it works) the file is in other dir:
# cat /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
app-admin/fam-2.7.0-r2
Only now i see that forgot to change this (left from fam--> gamin conversion).

Oops, package.provided goes in /etc/portage/profile/ (it's an override for /etc/make.profile).  That's probably a common mistake.

Hmm, the emerge output indicates that app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50 is installed (managed by portage).  Normally package.provided is used for packages that aren't managed by portage.  Now I'm not sure what you want to accomplish.

Thanks posters... yup, no wonder it was being ignored eh?
All better now.
