Does anybody know what I can do to fix this error? It shows up when I do "paludis -pi world".

I wonder if it's time for us to start posting Paludis questions in separate threads with [PALUDIS] as the first word in the subject.

I have a prerelease/testing version of a hooks overlay/ebuild prepared.
The big advantage of this is that you just specify which hooks you want in /etc/paludis/use.conf.

I need testers.

All interested, can test it here. Just follow the instructions, and please report erros as written there.

The download link was broken due to a typo (_ instead of -), but the instructions should be correct.
I hope everything works now. Sorry.

The problem with making things depend on "virtual/portage" is that they are trying to specify a version number which provides the things they need.

For instance, the base profile has a specific portage version that they'll support via ">=sys-apps/portage-version" because they need a version that supports cascading profiles. Or like having the java vm eclass depend on a certain version of portage because they made a new java setup that older version don't support. Granted I think they could fix that with some "|| ( package1 package2 )" action

And I remember reading that some of the gentoo devs were proposing that the devs for paludis should be the ones making/providing a paludis profile.

I went through and made a KDE set for all KDE 3 packages. I think I have everything listed. I have comments next to programs that get enabled with use flags in the -meta file. I do not know if sets can have use flags so I left them out. Also, not all programs have a * next to it, just the ones I use. The ones with ? are included in the set only if they are installed, so they will be labled with KDE3 if they get installed via a dependency. You all are welcome to use the file. You need to go through it carefully and mark only the files you wante installed. Also, if you have any comments on it or I messed something up or I forget something, please let me know. If you use it, please let me know if you find it useful. I made it strictly for all of KDE 3, so the dependencies are <some-package-3.99 to ensure all packages that are not KDE 4 get installed. I will make a KDE4 one once that is out.

Have fun.

Hi spb,

If it helps, these are all the packages i found:

zxy · Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2007 10:37 am Post subject:

paludis-hooks-0.0.2 ebuild is ready to test.

dayul · Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2007 10:58 am Post subject:

Hi,

Does anyone know how i can determine whether or not config files need to be updated with etc-update (or equivalent app) after install?

I want to write a hook that will check if config files need to be updated. The user would then define an environment variable, e.g CFG_UPDATE="etc-update", and the hook would execute that if an update was required.

Thanks,

Dale

Hi zxy,

I'm just adding the info message to the ebiuld, when the paludis-hooks are uninstalled. If you had --ask included then after uninstaling the hook, you need to unalias paludis

Syncing now works, too, for paludis-hooks overlay.
To test it add the following line to /etc/paludis/repositories/paludis-hooks.conf

I have a question about sets...

I have written my kde3-set file in kde3.conf.
I removed kdexxxx-meta from world file.

If I try paludis -q kde3 the list of packages in kde3.conf is printed out.
If I try to run paludis -i kde3, Paludis does not install any package because of course the packages in the set are already installed.

The problem is that if try to run paludis --uninstall-unused -p, paludis wants to remove even those packages within kde3 set (probably because the packages are not included in world file)!

I tried to add manually the packages of the set inside world file (first I made a backup, of course) and now paludis --uninstall-unused -p of course wants to remove only those packages excluded from the set.

But, if I want to uninstall the whole kde3 set???

For those of you relying on module-rebuild, I provide a patched ebuild on my overlay, which - if merged with the 'paludis' use-flag - uses paludis to re-install kernel modules instead of emerge.

You can find the ebuild here: /lefous_portage_overlay/sys-kernel/module-rebuild/module-rebuild-0.5-r1.ebuild
And just the patch to the official module-rebuild-0.5 script here: lefous_portage_overlay/sys-kernel/module-rebuild/files/module-rebuild-0.5-paludis.patch

jordan83: Do you have all the kde ebuilds in the file? You can have a '?' in front so it's not automatically pulled in by the set, but will be a part of the set if you already have it installed.

I think it wants to uninstall the files because you removed the meta which is what brought them in there. There is a option to add atoms to the installed file, maybe you can try that by using the set as the atom to add and it will add all that are installed? Maybe. Or add each one indiviually somehow.

Side note: I updated my kde set: http://pastebin.ca/316465 It has some bug fixes and some clear readability. Now I need to make one for X.Org.

Cheers.

The first release of paludis-hooks is out!!!

Included hooks:

ask (read install info, your action is required)
collision-protect
undo-prelink
update-eix

Which hooks are installed is controled by a variable in use.conf (just like for video cards in xorg-server)

You can get it HERE, where you'll get instructions on how to set it up.

Scripts were changed during the day today, too. See the changelog (same page).
You should update at least update-eix hook, because old one doesn't work any more.

New hooks are welcome.

If you don't know yet, repository format portage is now deprecated.
