[gentoo-user] packages/All - how to create ?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I have a (nearly) identical Gentoo system on several machines.
On all machines except one, there is a directory

/usr/portage/packages/All

which contains symlinks to the packages in the specific
directories. This is quite comfortable when copying the
most recent packages.

How can I set up GenToo to create and maintain this directory?

Many thanks for a hint,

If you set up in the /etc/make.conf file the FEATURES="buildpkg" the
portage will maintain the /usr/portage/packages/All directory
automatically.
If you wanto to know more about portage and portage features I suggest
to you to read the documentation. Here is:

Unfortunately this is not the case here.
The packages are built but no 'All' subdirectory is created nor
maintained.

I don't know what is the problem in your system.
On my system:

Without FEATURES="buildkpg"

cd /usr/portage/packages/
ls -lR

I switched FEATURES="buildpkg" and emerge cvs and the result:

You can see the cvs is installed and the tarball is placed in
/usr/portage/packages/All. In the /usr/portage/packages/dev-util/
directory has a symlink to
/usr/portage/packages/All/cvs-1.12.12-r4.tbz2 file.

I think it is workign fine. Or we are both in big trouble :-D

Sorry my english.

I'm not sure you are correct in this.  I have this set up in my
make.conf and it takes care of the All/ directory on this system and has
done so for about 5 or 6 years now.  It works.  My settings:

FEATURES="buildsyspkg sandbox fixpackages "

Mine only keeps system packages but it can be set up several different ways.

Thanks for the script, still, I don't understand it.

Why quickpkg? The packages are all there (because of
FEATURES=buildpkg in my /etc/make.conf)

But they are in e.g.
/usr/portage/package/dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.4.1.tbz2

whereas on my other machines the package is in

/usr/portage/package/All/eclipse-sdk-3.4.1.tbz2
and
/usr/portage/package/dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.4.1.tbz2
is only a symlink to the former.

but there is no symlink 

Thanks for your help,
Helmut.

Hi,

In my case, I've never used buildpkg feature and my
/usr/portage/packages is empty. After reading this thread, I decided
to enable it and emerge something small to see what comes out.

After emerging, I do not have an All directory, and there are no
symlinks. It put the package file directly in
/usr/portage/packages/app-arch/zip-3.0.tbz2 and generated a
/usr/portage/packages/Packages file with some info in it.

In make.conf my PKGDIR is not set, so I'm using default...

My profile is default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop

good luck :)
