Hi,

I recently found this tool and it helped me to clean up my config. Really good!

Now, for some reason I have this in my package.use as 1st line:

Tony0945,

no it is a 64 bit machine. Maybe it has something to with 2015-01-28-cpu_flags_x86-introduction which is removed now.

Can't remember. Sometimes I am forced to change something in my config by gentoo.

Edit: Maybe multilib was the reason.

Tony0945 · Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2018 9:25 pm Post subject:

IIRC, there was a lot of confusion when those flags were first created.

What I suggested is what I have on my multilib boxes. The pure 32 has nothing but the x32 profile setting.
Could you post the results of "eselect profile list"?
Or just try my suggestion, using # to comment so you can easily undo it.

I have [19] default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop/plasma (stable).

I'd like to have my system a bit cleaner and less workarounds.
What do you suggest?

You have just set in package.use for any packages, enable abi_x86_32 ; that's just what your */* abi_x86_32 do.
Like Tony0945 told you, it could be made with ABI="64 32"
So the package.use for abi_x86_32 is redundant ; that's just exactly what you have been told by the program

Tony0945 · Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2018 2:16 am Post subject:

It looks like the plasma profile doesn't set ABI.
Just put it in the make.conf

Hi,

ABI="64 32" is wrong.
ABI_X86="64 32" is correct.

Thank you very much!

Hello,
I need help to print SRC_URI for packages in my localrepo.
This is the command I tried, but it doesn't return SRC_URI, only category/name-version (eg. games-emulation/pcsx2-1.7.0_p20211017: )

My first thought is to see if the information is in the database, although I don't know sqlite well enough to quickly check directly.

Using standard query commands, I would expect those to correctly include that information if it was available. I'm not seeing any packages with SRC_URI populated. The man page does offer a compile time option "--without-src-uri-default", but I don't see that in the ebuild, which seems to imply that it should be "with" src-uri.

grep -r SRC_URI /usr/local/portage --include="*.ebuild"

modify data from there.

Edit to add: if one wanted installed pkgs, then I'd go against /var/db/pkg/* data
using repository to check for which repo and pull SRC-URI from the copy of the ebuild.

@pjp : I tried the same command but SRC_URI is empty as well.
When I run : eix --dump | grep 'SRC_URI'

eix data seems inconsistent, at least for things like src-uri, which it claims to be able to track, it seems to be confused between src-uri and homepage

Edit to add: odd behavior

@Anon-E-moose:

Nice find ! I adjusted my command after some trial and it works now :
