 Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2024 11:46 am Post subject: -y or --noask switch for Portage & emaint commands? |
 |
|
In my `/etc/portage/make.conf`, I have set `EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --ask-enter-invalid …"` because, honestly, these saved my arse so many times that it's bonkers.
The full set is:
| Code: |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --ask-enter-invalid --fail-clean --quiet-build"
|
However, because `--ask` is there, I also get an interactive halt when I run things like `emaint sync` and that's really not what I want.
I don't think I have ever bothered to type `sudo emaint sync` into a terminal and *not* actually intended to actually sync.
Similarly, there are a few times when I do want to just `emerge` or `emerge --depclean` without being asked, despite having the defaults.
Is there some way to send `--noask` or `-y` or something to these commands to override the pre-existing `--ask` from `EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS`?
I have tried a few things but I can't seem to find how to do it.
Shell aliases are also of limited use because they don't get applied when `sudo` enters the picture. |

I'm also using --ask in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS and I'm not getting any interactive confirmation when running
, be it with sudo or as root.

This is what `sudo emaint sync` gives me, every time:
| Code: |
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/var/db/repos/gentoo'...
* Using keys from /usr/share/openpgp-keys/gentoo-release.asc
* Refreshing keys via WKD ... [ ok ]
Do you want to sync your ebuild repository with the mirror at
rsync://[2a00:1828:a00d:ffff::6]/gentoo-portage? [Yes/No]
|
I had just guessed that it began to do so when I added `--ask` to `EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS` because it was not always thus. |

Being python based, many boolean options can be negated like --ask=n. This is covered in the man page as well. |

Ha, maybe that's because you're using rsync and I'm using Git (Gentoo Wiki - Portage with Git). |

Looks like rsync related to me.
