Thanks Optilude for a couple of awesome scripts.
Now, my troubles...
I'm trying to upgrade to KDE 3.1.3 but when I emerge -up kde, things like gcc, xfree, baselayout etc. show up as deps. I just built this system last week and the upgrades are in 'r' numbers only (and by one). I really don't want to waste the time and bandwidth emergeing these packages, so these scripts are perfect.
I run: femerge -up kde, and unselect the packages I don't want to upgrade. Then OK.
It then does: calculating dependencies..., and then prints the list, but the packages I unselected are still there followed by:
Then the options to filter again etc... If I refilter, the same thing happens.
Any ideas??
Thanks, and sorry for being long-winded. |

Don't fun femerge with the -p option (since you don't need the pretend option as femerge lets you see and deselect the packages to be emerged).
However I also have the problem where the packages I deselect still come up in the packages it wants to emerge list, even if I refilter.

Thanks, tried it and the same error comes up. Wierd. Still getting the same packages over and over. Maybe I'll try it with a -u world. |

Sorry for the late reply... holiday! Plus the email notifications seem to have stopped...
Well, I'm a little uncertain what you're trying to do, but if you're just trying to emerge *one* program, femerge is not very useful. It won't circumvent emerge depdendency checking, so if a package requires a newer version of another package and emerge wants to install it, it will come back even if you deselect it - otherwise, you'd end up with a broken system!
Are you sure you want to do -u? If you're just installing some packages and want to check the version numbers before installing, just run "femerge abc def". If I'm remembering correctly, -u will always try to update everthing to the lastest version; if all you want is the latest gaim or whatever, just do emerge -p gaim; this will pick the latest version; do -U, you'll avoid reinstalling if no new version is available.
I'm a little careful to say this is definately what you want, though, because the "kde" package is a virtual that includes all the other kde-base packages. However, thinking about the way KDE releases work, the version number of the "kde" virtual and the individual packages in kde-base should always be the same, so probably you really want to do "femerge -U kde", or probably just "emerge -U kde", since femerge won't be able to anything except deselect all packages selected or none of them.
Sorry about the bad English... been up for too long. Coffee!

Instead of copy/pasting the html page directly click on the [img:9309625fcd]https://forums.gentoo.org/templates/gentoo/images/lang_english/icon_quote.gif[/img:9309625fcd] button.
Then copy/paste the code from the textfield, this way you'll always get the exact same code as the user who posted it.
I think I'll take this as a signature  |

This is the error I get when I evoke the command: femerge -u world:
| Code: | *Calculating dependencies...
* Calculating dependencies...
Then it just goes to the next output and I get:
".
!!!Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
* Erro:r emerge -p [!!]
* Press (e) to emerge, (f) to filter again, (a) to abort:
|
if I press (f), it just cuts out on me. I have no clue what to do, and I happen to really like this app and hope to have it working again soon
thanks

mm.... this is happening for me as well. Something must've changed in emerge's output format. I had plans of overhauling this application for a while, but I've been much to busy to even get started. I'll see what I can do after my exams are done - patches very much welcome!

Any progress on this very useful script?
Aften an upgrade of Dialog to the latest version from the portage (dev-util/dialog-0.9_beta20031207) femerge no longer works.. this is what I get :
camelot /# femerge world
* Calculating dependencies...
* Calculating dependencies...
Then the screen goes blank with no menu and just the choices of emerge, filter or abort...

Poop.
I'd love to fix it, I really would, but at the moment, I'm so over-worked I can hardly get an hour in edgewise. It's going to have to wait, probably till October at least (and do remind me again - optilude@gmx.net - 'cos I' likely to forget). If someone has a fix, please post it here and/or email it to me.
Really sorry!
Martin

First of all great script
There is a very simple solution to make it compatible to the new dialog version:
on line 49 you see this line:
| Code: | | eval "dialog --title 'Portage ebuild filter' --separate-output \ |
just insert --stdout after dialog so it will show:
| Code: | | eval "dialog --stdout --title 'Portage ebuild filter' --separate-output \ |
Now it works again! |

I've not tested this yet, but if it works - thanks! Great work! I've not had time to look at this script in so long it's ridiculous!
