It did. I know about adding quotes to a phrase but to
a  single string? New one on me.

But Bo is right, my portage is out-of-date. emerge
--help is supposed to include --with-bdeps under
"0ptions:", but not on my box(portage-2.1.1-r2).

Well, a minus sign in front of a search pattern usually means don't
include any pages with that search pattern...

[gentoo-user] emerge -pv vs emerge -DuNpv

[Daniel Iliev]

Hi, guys!

This morning I did "emerge -DuN world -pv" on a PC with stable "x86"
Gentoo. Portage says it wants to update only:
'[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/man-1.6e-r3 [1.6e-r1] USE="nls" 0 kB'

Well, reading the recent thread about kernel-2.6.20, something made me
try "emerge -pv gentoo-sources" and I was really surprised to see:
'[ebuild  NS   ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r6  USE="symlink
-build" 0 kB 42,580 kB'

So, "emerge -pv gentoo-sources" wants to install the new kernel source,
while "emerge -DuN world" doesn't. How come?

Best regards,
Daniel

Is gentoo-sources in your world file?

$ grep gentoo-sources /var/lib/portage/world

If not, the behavior you see is normal. Just add
"sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" to the world file.

Shouldn't gentoo-sources be part of system?

It does not have to be, it is in my world file by default.

No, because you may not want to use gentoo-sources. system contains only
packages for which there is no choice, and there are plenty of kernels to
choose from.

While gentoo-sources isn't part of system virtual/linux-sources is a 
dependency of a quite a few packages in the tree (mostly kernel modules). And 
on all profiles in default-linux gentoo-sources is the default provider for 
that. The thing is that it is only a DEPEND and not an RDEPEND. So in 
addition to what others have told you you might want to take a look 
at --with-bdeps in `man emerge`.

I can't find it. Not in google either. Spelling?

You need portage 2.1.2 for it...

No.

That would make the gentoo-patched kernel a compulsory package, and the 
user would have to edit their profile to remove it.

You do have to have a kernel on the machine, but not everyone wants the 
gentoo kernel, or even a kernel installed via portage.
