[gentoo-user] Kernel not updating...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Forgive me if this ends up being the "stupid question of the day".

But, I haven't been able to upgrade my kernel for some reason.
(Obviously I could download it from kernel.org and go that route, but
I would like to keep as much as possible in portage.)  I have a script
that I use to update my system every couple of days, and I'm still on
v2.6.13-r3.  I was poking around in packages.gentoo.org, and noticed
that 2.6.15-r1 is unmasked for x86.  So I run an `emerge --sync`, and
`emerge -av gentoo-sources`.  And it wants to rebuild my 2.6.13-r3
kernel, so I cancel.

Any thoughts?  Is there a portage setting, or package dependency, that
would prevent this package from being upgraded?

TIA

Hmmm, shouldn't it be emerge -uav gentoo-sources ?
I mean, "u" for "update"?

emerge -uav gentoo-sources

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

Nothing to merge; do you want me to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No] n

Quitting.

Do you have eix installed? If not I suggest you install it.

Could you post the output of:
# update-eix
# eix -e gentoo-sources

Also the output of emerge --info would be nice.

It seems your portage tree is not updated... I tried the same command
in my box (running an old kernel) and it asked me to download the last
kernel...

The vanilla kernel is in portage as well (vanilla-sources).

Have you checked /etc/portage/package.mask? About the only reason left
is that you manually masked versions above the one you're now using, and
forgot about it (hey, it happens).

There's no package.mask.  I had thought that something like that might
be the case, but didn't see anything that stood out, which is why I
posted to the list.

No, I just installed it.  So this is the first time running these
commands - if that makes any difference.

It doesn't matter, because kernels arer slotted.

Have you synced? It doesn't matter if the package is stable in Gentoo's
portage tree if you sill have the old ebuild.

I've run out of ideas, if I do the same process as you did, I get the
latest kernel, simply as that...
Rebuild your portage tree?! (note: that can hurt more than it can solve)

It would appear there is nothing newer than 2.6.13-r3 in your portage
tree. Have you tried another mirror? Your portage tree definitely looks
out of sync, not only do I have up to 2.6.15-r5 in mine, but the oldest
is 2.4.31-r1. I also have 2.4.31-r2, which you appear to be missing.

What does "ls -l /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/" show?

BTW do you really need nine lots of kernel sources installed?

I have a machine on which portage sometimes crashes near the end of emerge --sync. during the metadata part. This leaves portage in the position that it has all the ebuild files on the disk, but it's own database doesn't seem to know about it.

Try emerge --metadata which will fix it if that is the problem.

Anyway, to check when you last synced:

genlop -r|tail

(if you don't have genlop, it is in the package genlop (surprise?)

the nitty gritties way to see what ebuilds are on your hard drive:

ls /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/*.ebuild

Well, that's why you had to run update-eix. If you intend to use eix in the 
future then you need to run update-eix everytime you did an emerge --sync. A 
good tip is to use eix-sync instead of emerge --sync. What eix-sync does is 
copy your eix cache, emerge --sync, update-eix and diff-eix. This gives a 
beautiful overview of what the emerge --sync changed and keeps the eix cache 
up to date.

This is what the same command shows on my system:
# eix -e gentoo-sources
* sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
     Available versions:  2.4.31-r1 ~2.4.32-r2 2.6.12-r9 2.6.12-r10 2.6.13-r5 
2.6.14-r5 ~2.6.14-r6 ~2.6.14-r7 ~2.6.15 2.6.15-r1 ~2.6.15-r2 ~2.6.15-r3

As you see it is quite different. Also each version of gentoo-sources takes up 
more than 250 MB of space so either your /usr/src takes up more than 2 GB 
with 9 versions of gentoo-sources or you deleted some of the sources but 
forgot to tell portage. Perhaps you would like to run:
# emerge --prune --verbose --ask gentoo-sources

That souds pretty interesting (eix-sync).  I'll have to look into that.

I do need to prune some of the older kernels out of there.  But I
don't want to get rid of all of them but the most recent.  Is there a
way that I can "protect" or "omit" 2.6.13-r3 from the emerge --prune
process and remove the rest?  Does this work with other slotted
packages?  How do I know which ones are slotted and which ones aren't?

cd /usr/src
ls -1d linux-* | head -n -2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm -fr
qpkg -d -v -nc gentoo-sources | head -n -2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty emerge -C

is what I use to remove all but the two most recent kernel sources.

Just for the heck of it, do:
# cat /etc/portage/package* | grep gentoo-sources
Does that return anything?
how about:
cat /etc/make.conf | grep gentoo-sources

grep gentoo-sources /etc/portage/package*

is better, it shows which files match.
