[gentoo-user] /usr/portage/packages missing

[Hartmut Figge]

Greetings

normally using i686 i am discovering now the world of x86_64 on an extra
partition under Intel Core i5. Some astounding differences, but i will
manage.

Now i run 'eclean -p packages' which leads to the information, that
there is no /usr/portage/packages. And indeed, so it is. How to get this
directory and how to fill it? :)

That directory *is* normally empty, unless you specify "buildpkg" in
FEATURES, or use quickpkg.

Here you go:

buildpkg
  Binary packages will be created for all packages that are merged. Also 
see quickpkg(1) and emerge(1) --buildpkg and --buildpkgonly options.

buildsyspkg
  Build binary packages for just packages in the system set.

As a example, this is my line from make.conf:

FEATURES="buildpkg sandbox parallel-fetch --keep-going"

That help?

And that means, that the directory /usr/portage/packages does not exist
until then. I have created it now and 'eclean -p packages' now behaves
nicely.

Shouldn't --keep-going be in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS?

It should and it was.  I must have pasted it from somewhere and not 
noticed it.  No need in it being in both places tho.

Thanks.
