Just to make it clear,
there are two qt libraries. qt3 that most of the programs use for now, and qt4 that may be used by some programs (kde4 will use it when it gets out). There are qt3 and qt4 useflags, too. So don't worry, the qt4 installs in a separate slot.

I knew that... No scratch that... I should have known that. Thanks for reminding me; I'll be over by the documentation for the rest of the evening. 
I do know about slots, of course, but didn't realise they could be the reason. That just leaves the switching between 3.3.4 and 3.3.6. I'll keep looking but I'm sure everyone has noted my n00b status so I don't know if I'll actually figure something out. If I do, I'll post something about it.

Problem solved. I've added qt-3.3.6-r4 to package_mask and then 'paludis -pi world' showed me, that gtk-engines-qt depends on it. This is not the fact, so I reinstalled this one and now everything is fine.
Thanks for the help. |

| Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2007 12:38 pm Post subject: installing to a different root |
|
|
is it possible to install packages to a different root directory using paludis?
I'm currently rebuilding my system and I would like to get rid of all the cruft that's left by upgrades and unclean ebuilds.
Of course I can install a stage to a chroot and start over again, but I was hoping there is some other way.
I would like to have a second (chroot)installed repository, or a way to alter ${ROOT}.
paludis -i --dl-reinstall always world should install into /buildroot
any help on how to do this? |

It is. The old bootstrap howto documented how to do this, but got removed recently pending a revised one with the upcoming destinations support. Try grabbing it from ViewVC if you want to read it -- the section on the specpath file is what you want to look at. |

Does anyone know where i can get information on how to use contrarius? I didn't see any information on the paludis web site.
What i want to do is use mingw to build an application for win32. It was mentioned earlier in the support thread that i could use contrarius for cross compiling, but i'm not exactly sure how.
Thanks.

Right now? Go into #paludis and ask Kugelfang. |

Hello again fellow paludisians...errr whatever the word should be.
At the end of ebuilds, there's often some informative messages. For example, nvidia-drivers tells you that you should run eselect in order to get glx working.
Is there a way to log just those messages to a file?

That looks like exactly what I want. I installed it just like any other hook, and put it in all of the following hook directories:
elog/
install_all_pre/
install_all_post/
install_fail/
uninstall_all_pre/
uninstall_all_post/
uninstall_fail/
einfo/
ewarn/
eerror/
But it never executes. I'm positive because I added a line that notifies me when it runs.

Maybe it's a stupid question... have you changed the permissions to the hook enabling execution right?

execution not needed, hook names just have to end with .bash

Similarly (is that a word?) here. It turned out that I had klibido kicking about and that was the source of the dependancy on qt-3.3.4-r8. When I got rid of it, everything went back to normal.
Thanks for the pointer.

hey again, I just want to share a tip
You certainly know how to search you repositories with eix or even qsearch  But if you're like me , you'd like the output of these search tools to be just like paludis -q pkg because there are plenty of usefull info
bash users (it probably works for others too, so tell me and I'll remove this) can put this function in their ~/.bashrc
| Code: | function palsearch()
{
for arg in "$@" ; do [ "$arg" == "-h" -o "$arg" == "--help" ] && qsearch --help && return 0; done
searchme=`qsearch -NC "$@" | sed -e 's/::.*//' | sort | uniq | tr '\n' ' '`
[[ -z $searchme ]] && echo "No match" && return 1
paludis -q $searchme
unset searchme
} |
you can now search as you would do with qsearch:
search with a partial name :
palsearch nvpn : | * net-misc/openvpn
gentoo: 2.0.6 2.0.7 2.0.7-r1 (2.1_rc1)R (2.1_rc1-r1)R {:0}
installed: 2.0.7-r1* {:0}
Homepage: http://openvpn.net/
Description: OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible tunneling application compatible with many OSes.
License: ( GPL-2 )
Source origin: net-misc/openvpn-2.0.7-r1::gentoo
Installed time: Sat Dec 9 18:25:35 2006
Use flags: (-examples) (-iproute2) (-minimal) (-pam) (-passwordsave) (-selinux) (ssl) (-static) (threads)
* sec-policy/selinux-openvpn
gentoo: 20050618 20061114* {:0}
Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/selinux/
Description: SELinux policy for OpenVPN
License: ( GPL-2 )
Key to mask reasons:
* R: repository mask
|
you can also search the DESCRIPTION:
| palsearch -S "packet mangling" : |
* net-firewall/ipchains
gentoo: 1.3.10-r1* {:0}
Homepage: http://netfilter.filewatcher.org/ipchains/
Description: legacy Linux firewall/packet mangling tools
License: ( GPL-2 )
* net-firewall/iptables
gentoo: 1.2.11-r3 1.3.5-r1 1.3.5-r2 1.3.5-r3 1.3.5-r4 1.3.6 1.3.6-r1 1.3.7 {:0}
installed: 1.3.7* {:0}
Homepage: http://www.iptables.org/ http://www.linuximq.net/ http://l7-filter.sf.net/
Description: Linux kernel (2.4+) firewall, NAT and packet mangling tools
License: ( GPL-2 )
Source origin: net-firewall/iptables-1.3.7::gentoo
Installed time: Tue Dec 26 23:27:14 2006
Use flags: (-extensions) (-imq) (-ipv6) (-l7filter) (-static) |
You can even do some very fancy searches :
search for package in categories matching sys- in every overlay but the gentoo and initng ones:
palsearch sys-/::[^gentoo\|initng] : |
* sys-apps/paludis
gentoo: 0.12.0 0.14.0 0.14.1 0.14.2 0.14.3 {:0}
paludis-overlay: 0.12.0 0.14.0 0.14.1 0.14.2 0.14.3 scm {:0}
installed: scm* {:0}
Homepage: http://paludis.pioto.org/
Description: paludis, the other package mangler
License: ( GPL-2 )
Source origin: sys-apps/paludis-scm::paludis-overlay
Installed time: Sun Jan 14 21:11:51 2007
Provides: virtual/portage
Use flags: (bash-completion) (-contrarius) (-cran) (-doc) (-gems) (glsa) (pink) (qa) (-ruby) (-selinux) (-zsh-completion)
* sys-apps/paludis-hooks
paludis-extras: 0.1.5 0.1.6 {:0}
installed: 0.1.6* {:0}
Homepage: http://drzile.dyndns.org/index.php?page=paludis_scripts
Description: This is a colection of various hooks used with Paludis.
Source origin: sys-apps/paludis-hooks-0.1.6::paludis-extras
Installed time: Sun Jan 21 17:16:44 2007
Use flags: (paludis_hooks_ask) (paludis_hooks_check-security-updates) (-paludis_hooks_collision-protect) (-paludis_hooks_undo-prelink) (paludis_hooks_update-eix) |
or if your overlay isn't too big you can list its content with detail info (eg: palsearch -a -o overlay) otherwise just use paludis --list-packages --repository overlay
(or with less useless lines: qsearch -a -o overlay )
Hope you'll like it:)
EDIT: of course, you need the patched version of portage-utils.. Did I need to say that?

I fixed the problem I was having with elog.bash. The file that I downloaded was named elog.bash.in. I removed the .in, so it works now. And no, it did not have to be executable.

So what's the equivalent of emerge --newuse in paludis?
By the way, I was thinking about the idea someone had earlier to create a new thread for each paludis topic. One advantage of the current method is that everyone subscribed to the thread sees our questions whenever we post them |

But it looks like they don't always see the answers  ( --dl-reinstall if-use-changed )

This is a kinda funky behavior that I found. I accidentally put a dash before if-used-changed:
| Code: | | paludis -i --dl-reinstall -if-use-changed world |
And look what I got:
| Code: | | Usage error: Error handling command line: Invalid parameter '-if-use-chnged' for argument '--dl-reinstall' |
That's not a typo. The 'a' actually disappeard from if-use-changed. Weird, huh?

Because there shouldn't be a - in front of if-used-changed

Yes I know. Like I said in my post, I accidentally put a dash in front. But look at the error message; it's not what one would expect. It took the 'a' out of if-used-changed.

Ah, it's this wrapper script that did it: /usr/local/bin/_paludis_wrapper.bash . Somehow it's grabbing the 'a' and thinking it's the shorthand for the --ask flag. No big deal
