[gentoo-user] Confused about latest gentoo-sources

[gentoo-user] Confused about latest gentoo-sources

[jerry]

I did an emerge sync a few days ago. If I run emerge -s gentoo- sources 
I get:

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
      Latest version available: 2.4.31-r1
      Latest version installed: 2.6.14-r2
      Size of downloaded files: 31,219 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.kernel.org/ http://www.gentoo.org/
      Description: Full sources including the Gentoo patchset for the 
2.4 kernel tree
      License:     GPL-2

sys-kernel/vanilla-sources
      Latest version available: 2.6.15.1
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of downloaded files: 38,905 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.kernel.org
      Description: Full sources for the Linux kernel
      License:     GPL-2

Do I have to switch to vanilla-sources now to get the latest kernel? 
Won't I lose some newer features if I use 2.4.31-r1?

If I understand the above output correctly I have already installed the 
gentoo-sources kernel, but now they have moved back to the 2.4 series. 
Where can I find out what is going on?

Thanks for any clarification.

Jerry

http://www.gentoo-portage.com/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
this page shows that the 2.6.15-r1 is availiable for x86 and amd64

gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1
~alpha amd64 arm ppc ppc64 ~sparc x86

check if the 2.6 kernel is masked.. maybe sync again
though it's weird that all the other versions are masked .. why is
that? even the 2.6.14

THanks for the quick reply. I did another emerge --sync and

While waiting for emerge --sync to finish I searched some forums for 
some ideas.

I have not upgraded from gcc-3.3.6 to 3.4.5. Could this cause the problem?

Do you have gentoolkit installed? If so, run

# equery list -p gentoo-sources

It'd be good to know if you are missing the ebuild or if it is masked
somehow.

 Myself, I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a mirror issue (what
mirror are you sync-ing with? Check /etc/make.conf), because mine looks
like this:

 equery list -p gentoo-sources
[ Searching for package 'gentoo-sources' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r5 (2.6.15-r5)

[I--] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7 (2.6.15-r7)

[-P-] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r7 (2.6.14-r7)
[-P-] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15 (2.6.15)

[-P-] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r4 (2.6.15-r4)

If you've synced twice already, and you're still getting such old
packages (2.6.*11*??), there's gotta be something wrong with your mirror
or your cache, it seems to me. Cache I don't know how to fix, but
changing mirrors is an easy way to fix the problem or eliminate one
possible vector of trouble (if nothing changs, then we know the problem
is something else, and there aren't too many things it could be, at that
point).

HTH,
Holly

I tend to agree with Holly here. Your tree looks old. What do you have
for the SYNC variable in /etc/make.conf ?

Here is /etc/make.conf:

 These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically 
built this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

I am new to and learning how gnetoo works, but I don't quite follow your 
line of thought; I download packages from osuosl.org (oregon state?) but 
when I sync I seem to hit a random server somewhere. Last time I synced 
it was in Milwaukee,Wisc.


Andrei:
Here is /etc/make.profile:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    48 Aug 30  2005 make.profile -> 
../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0

This is the profile I used when I first did the install and I don't 
remember ever making any change to it. I am on my way now to read the 
doc you suggested.

I have the uninformed naging thought that I am having this problem 
because I have not upgraded gcc from 3.3.6. I posted this thought 
earlier but no one commented on its likelihood.

Thanks to everyone for responding.

Yes, that's correct. Syncing with the Portage tree (that's the "SYNC"
setting, above) is a different operation than downloading packages (from
the "GENTOO_MIRRORS" setting above).

You sync your Portage tree from a pool of Portage servers on your
continent. Which server is chosen is random; this decreases the load on
the individual members of the server group.

I take it you're in the U.S., so you're syncing with the US pool; I'm in
The Netherlands, so my SYNC variable looks like this:

SYNC="rsync://rsync.nl.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

When I emerge --sync, I connect to one of the various Gentoo rsync
servers in this country randomly.

However, whenever I download tarballs, they come from one of these servers:

GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo
http://gentoo.osuosl.org"

And if the file is not found on any of them, the ebuild will usually
direct Portage to attempt to download directly from the homepage of the
project or Sourceforge, whichever is applicable.

This is all as it should be.

In any case, the problem I was trying to track is whether the reason
your local Portage tree was not current, even though you've synced,
might not be because the remote Portage tree you were syncing with was
not current (it can happen; servers change or are not often updated, and
if your profile was very old, you might be using an old server that
wasn't in sync with the times).

However, it's hard to imagine that the US pool might not be current.

[General question] What else might prevent a sync from actually updating
the local tree correctly?

Ummmm.... unless it actually has, and the problem is Portage not knowing
it somehow....

Would you do an

ls /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/

and post the output?

I'm just wondering if the ebuilds are physically there or not.

I cannot imagine what gcc (your compiler) would have to do with the
contents of the Portage tree, or why you would think it did :-) .
Upgrading GCC or not doing so has nothing, as far as I know, to do with
rsync or the actual functionality of updating your Portage tree.
Certainly gcc
is not involved in any way in actually updating the Portage tree, which,
as far as we currently know (until you post the output of that ls,
anyway), is the issue at hand.

I decided to go ahead and upgrade gcc-3.3.6 to 3.4.5. I am following the 
gentoo linux gcc upgrade guide carefully. I have already completed the 
emerge -e system, and will start emerge -e world.

backup jerry # equery -C l gcc

[I--] [  ] sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.12-r6 (0)

My gut says it is not right to have 2 versions of gcc installed.

backup jerry # emerge -pv gcc

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

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

Since I started to upgrade gcc that confuse the issue.

I read the doc suggested by Andrei 

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

I have not seen any warning from portage for the need to upgrade to  a newer profile, and have not seen and talk about it in the ng. I probably will do the upgrade to the newer profile after I finish the gcc upgrade.

Thanks for you help
Jerry

Well, wouldja look at that!

So the ebuilds *are* there, but Portage is just not offering them.

Have you:

1) checked /etc/portage/package.mask (maybe you masked them and forgot)?

2) checked your Portage version (maybe you need an upgrade)?

3) tried emerging one of the invisible versions explicitly (emerge -av
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7)? Even an error or failure might
tell us more about what's going on than we know now.

HTH; talk to you after the gcc upgrade is done.

It is perfectly fine.

In fact, some pesty programs won't compile on the 3.4 branch (in my
case, wine compiled with 3.4.* would segfault on start, but runs fine
with 3.3.5).

It looks like you are using a very old profile. Make
sure /etc/make.profile points to a recent profile (for
the x86 architecture that would be
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0)
See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml

You are right and I am using an old profile:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    48 Aug 30  2005 make.profile -> 
../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0

I read the doc you suggested. Either I completely missed/misunderstood 
the notice that was sent warning me to upgrade to a newer profile, or 
the warning may not have been sent because according to the 
gentoo-upgrading doc a new file should have been added to the 2005.0 
directory named "deprecated" ; the contents of which contain the name of 
the new profile to be used.

 There is a "deprecated" file in /usr/portage/profiles/obsolete/x86 that 
says 2004.3 is the upgraded profile.

I have run emerge -u portage and it says everything is fine.

The gentoo-upgrading doc does not indicate how to upgrade to the 2006.0 
profile. Is merely changing the symlink adequate as was done for 2005.0 
--> 2005.1?

Hum, I have the same profile, and don't have your problem.

It seems to me that portage is not picking up the changes made to your
