[gentoo-user] re: emerge --depclean [gentoo-sources]

[Alexander Kapshuk]

emerge --depclean wants to remove the gentoo-sources for my old kernel
[sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13] which I want to hang on to for the
time being.

Is there a way to instruct emerge not to remove them?

emerge(1)
Packages that are part of the world set will always be kept. They can be
manually added to this  set  with  emerge --noreplace <atom>.

If I understood the instruction above, 'emerge --noreplace
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13' should have added 'gentoo-sources' to
/var/lib/portage/world_sets, which it didn't seem to do.

box0 src # emerge --noreplace sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13
!!! 'sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.


box0=; ls -l `pwd`/world*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root portage 920 Sep 20 20:45 /var/lib/portage/world
-rw-r--r-- 1 root portage   0 Sep 20 20:45 /var/lib/portage/world_sets

Or is it a matter of defining something like this:
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/usr/src/linux-3.8.13-gentoo"
in /etc/portage/make.conf?


Any pointers would be much appreciated.

emerge --noreplace =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13

No, this it the wrong file. the file /var/lib/portage/world is THE
world set, it contains all packages you emerged manually (and with
--noreplace).
The file /var/lib/portage/world_sets can contain the name of other
sets that should be included into the world.

You should also note, that you actually can depclean the sources. The unmerge
process leaves any temporary files from the compilation process intact (unless
you manually delete them).
If you later reemerge that version you'll start right of where you were.

Thanks. That did it.
box0=; grep sources /var/lib/portage/world
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:3.8.13

Once I decide I no longer need 'gentoo-sources-3.8.13', would it be
enough just to remove the corresponding line from
'/var/lib/portage/world', or is there a better way of doing it?

Thanks.

emerge --deselect <atom>
and
emerge --depclean --ask
should be more elegant
