Hi,

due to a human error I've deleted my package.keyowrd file...
(echo "package ~x86" > /etc/portage/package.keywords)

How may I find which packages were in the file?
I'm afraid of doing an update...

Cheers.

As far as I know, when you isse an "emerge -uDN world -pv" and there
are packages keyworded that need upgrade, portage will warn you and
stop, giving you the name of the package. So, nothing to worry about,
eventually your list will be complete...

Option 1:
# emerge -DNvp world
Look for things with a 'D' for downgrade in front of them.

Option 2:
# cd /var/db/pkg
# grep -l "~x86" */*/KEYWORDS | sed "s/\/KEYWORDS//"

HTH,

Hi!

thanks to all for your replies (and sorry for breaking threat, but I
have you replies in my laptop...).

I finally did an emerge -DNvp.

I'm gonna look for "set -o noclobber" option.

Cheers and thanks again.

[gentoo-user] package.keywords

[James]

Well, I just tried something that seems to work,
but has me confused or missing the routine reading
of new portage features.....


Anyway upon a routine update (using portage 2.2_rc33
and sets for kde4) I got a message:


All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-python/sip-4.8.1" have been masked.
One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-python/sip-4.8.1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) 


So I just added this line to package.keywords:

" >=dev-python/sip-4.8.1  "



and it got passed that problem.....


'man portage' does not show the use of the (><=) syntax
as an example for emerge....?


Obviously, I'm behind on my routine reading. Is this 
a no-no? Where can I read more about what's going on
with the newest changes to emerge/portage/etc.....?

This is a package atom... which AFAIK has at least been part of portage
since I've been using Gentoo (6 years).

man 5 portage
