 Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2018 4:13 pm Post subject: getbinpkg and package.env |
 |
|
I'm trying to set certain packages to use FEATURES="getbinpkg" only.
So, I set /etc/portage/package.env like so for gcc:
sys-devel/gcc getbinpkg.conf
And
/etc/portage/env/getbinpkg.conf as:
PORTAGE_BINHOST="..."
FEATURES="getbinpkg"
("..." comments out the actual binhost url I'm using)
However, when emerging gcc, it doesn't try to emerge it as a binary package (if I use the values of those two settings in make.conf globally, it does.)
Have I set something wrong? |

Can you post your make.conf?
To make a test replace your /etc/portage/env/getbinpkg.conf with
PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/home/youruser//tmp"
If gcc build in /home/youruser//tmp, something is wrong in your getbinpkg.conf |

tomsky,
You can leave PORTAGE_BINHOST= in make.conf.
FEATURES= works in package.env and in env

I placed the PORTAGE_BINHOST setting back in make.conf, and added a custom setting for PORTAGE_TMPDIR in /etc/portage/env/getbinpkg.conf
The new TMPDIR was indeed picked up when I tried to build gcc (so the configuration seems correct - I also ran strace to sanity check the expected files were being read).
However, the FEATURES="getbinpkg" setting in /etc/portage/env/getbinpkg.conf still has no effect (unless it is put in make.conf) |

Here's make.conf by the way (I've commented out the settings for GENTOO_MIRRORS and PORTAGE_BINHOST)
| Code: | CFLAGS="-march=native -O2"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="-X"
CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx mmxext popcnt sse sse2 sse3"
PORTDIR="/usr/portage"
DISTDIR="${PORTDIR}/distfiles"
PKGDIR="${PORTDIR}/packages"
MAKEOPTS="-j8"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="..."
PORTAGE_BINHOST="..." |

Did you solve this?
I have similar one. I need binary for large packages that can't build on client (2GiB RAM). Just like topicstarter I create /etc/portage/env/binary which contains | Code: | | EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--getbinpkgonly" |
The /etc/portage/package.env contains | Code: | | dev-qt/qtwebengine binary |
But there's no attempts to download binary...
If I add USE="-alsa", for example, to /etc/portage/env/binary it picked up USE. So, not all make.conf options are supported in /etc/portage/env/binary  |

I'm unearthing this old thread because I have the same problem.
On a laptop which has a pretty similar hardware as my desktop I want some bigger packets to be emerged as binary packets that the desktop has built. For huge packages like libreoffice, I told the binary host (the desktop) via package.env to use the same CPU FLAGS and USE variables that the client (laptop) has. Built package, copied over to var/cache/binpkgs on the client, rebuilt index (emaint binhost --fix) and tried to emerge.
When I do it manually, it works, like this:
| Code: | | emerge -k libreoffice |
But when I want to do it via package.env, the change is ignored by emerge, it tries to build the package from sources:
| Quote: | /etc/portage/package.env:
app-office/libreoffice binpkg |
| Quote: | /etc/portage/env/binpkg:
FEATURES="getbinpkg" |
Also the other variant doesnt work:
| Quote: | etc/portage/env/binpkg:
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="${EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS} --getbinpkgonly"
|
Is this a bug in the package environment setting or am I (are we) missing something?
My emerge --info of the client:
| Quote: | /etc/portage/env # emerge --info

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem, FEATURES="getbinpkg" for a specific package in package.env seems to be ignored. I am sure that the files are processed, because changes in USE work. At the moment I don't have any idea how to solve this issues. Can anyone help here?
Thanks!

Hello flexibeast,
thanks for the info. I have tried the binhost a few days ago, because some big packages like firefox, thunderbird, qtwebengine or libreoffice take several hours to build. In the past I have used the special -bin packages, but for example libreoffice-bin is only available in an old version, whereas libreoffice as a binary package is up to date.
Considering the linked bug, is it possible to configure the system to only use binary packages for some specific packages?
Thanks!

Not that i'm aware of; the "Gentoo Binary Host Quickstart" page on the wiki currently says:
| Quote: | | There is currently no way to specify that the binary version of a particular package should be preferred to the source version. The functionality is planned, but there is no specific timeline for implementation at this stage. |

The only way to selectively install bindery packages I can think of currently is to terminate when that package build is starting up and fire emerge for it specifically with -g switch, eventually continue with the other packages of three are any left.
The feature you're looking for will eventually come, as develops seem to find the need for it too, but it's uncertain when. I've seen good will from them, but have in mind they are pretty overloaded with issues of more urgent or important matter. I guess if you know how to do it, they may at least look at your patches and who knows, they may even merge them :)
Best Regards,
Georgi

As a matter of curiosity -- what are your reservations about using the binhost by default for any packages which are available on the binhost? |

| Alright, it is not a really big issue, but it would be a nice feature to have the possibility to choose per package which version to use. Of course, I could select the binhost as the default option, but in general I really like the focus on source code and the optimized compilation. Thank you all for the help and have a nice weekend! |

I don't see thunderbird available for the binhost I checked.
One workaround might be to first fetch the binary: | Code: | $ emerge -vgKOfp libreoffice
Local copy of remote index is up-to-date and will be used.
These are the packages that would be fetched, in order:
https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/binpackages/23.0/x86-64/app-office/libreoffice/libreoffice-24.2.6.2-4.gpkg.tar |
-O is --nodeps, "Merges specified packages without merging any dependencies."
The downside is that I think you would have to "enable" the binhost configuration before fetching the binaries you want, and then "disable" the config before actually installing them to avoid other binaries you don't want.
I think that would then use your fetched "local" copy of the binary.
Unfortunately I don't see the binhost listed in the outoput of "eselect repository list", so I think you would have to script the enable / disable part.
I'm not on profile 23 yet, so I haven't been able to test the process completely.

The binhost has some reasonably optimized compilation in the form of two CFLAGS variants: the baseline x86-64 builds and the optimized x86-64-v3 builds. It is most of the advantage of -march=native but not all of it. This is fine for my use at least -- I care more about Gentoo's powerful USE flag functionality than its ability to tune CFLAGS. But fair enough if that's what you care about.

Hmm, you are right. It's not in the world file for the binhost builders. Might make sense to add it!

emerge --usepkg will use built binaries in /var/cache/binpkgs
emerge --getbinpkg will fetch remote packages from the configured binhost and unless you use the "location" config setting in the brand new ~arch version of portage, add it to the database in /var/cache/binpkgs.
If you don't add --getbinpkg to the default emerge options then it's trivial to toggle this without needing a script, just only pass --getbinpkg when downloading libreoffice. Once it is downloaded, I suppose EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--usepkg" is enough to ensure it is always loaded from that.
Crucially, it is --getbinpkg that enables the binhost configuration. Without --getbinpkg, the binhost configuration is just an ini file that is ignored and does nothing. |

There's thunderbird-bin. I've been using it for quite a long time.

This query needs -1/--oneshot, otherwise it'll cause world pollution. Also --nodeps should not be used in the actual command. It'll most probably will pull in a version that does not satisfy your use preferences.

This is not how it works. The binhost is a supplement to the repository*, not a repository by itself. It only contains binary packages, not ebuilds. You enable it by passing --getbinpkg as eschwartz has already mentioned. It's disabled by default unless you enable it in FEATURES or EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS.
*any repository? Because I don't see a way it differentiates between repositories.
Best Regards,
Georgi

Sure, but then the binhost goes out of its way to provide libreoffice and firefox builds which are also available as -bin packages...

The "Packages" index format has a key which is currently identical for every binhost package entry:

I have also found that if I use sudo or su, portage responds differently. With the binpkgs.
it ignores my home server when I use sudo but not with su

That's a separate issue. You're not running it in a clean environment. With su you need to add a dash for a clean environment. I don't know for sudo.

I just came up with an idea based on pgp's post above: emerge -gFpv <package(s)>. This will only fetch the binary package(s). Then continue the update with --usepkg. It'll use whatever binary packages that are compatible from the cache. Do not use -O as it'll not respect your use preferences and will most probably pick the binary package for the simplest case (perhaps the default flags for the package). Of course you may need to adjust your use preferences to ensure a binary package can satisfy them.

Sure, and I didn't make that connection to how it should be used. However, both the ebuild repository and binary repository are configured in /etc/portage/repos.conf, and eselect repository can manage those files. I tried to see if there was a way for eselect to manage the enable and disable of a local configuration. Disabling works (accidentally it seems), but not enabling.
I only update my binary client with -gK to force binary updates. That was the only method I could find that consistently worked when I first first switched to using only binaries for my laptop. It isn't clear to me how portage resolved determining from where it would try to get and use binary packages when a binary repository is configured for use.

I don't get what you're saying. Eselect does not enable or disable binary repositories. You configure them and instruct portage to use them on the command line or in make.conf.

The "Packages" index format has a key which is currently identical for every binhost package entry:
|
If you have your own repo or you want to create a binhost for an overlay, you should be able to change that key. Portage will first determine from which repo the package should be emerged and then will look up if there are binary packages with the corresponding key.
EDIT: I saw your other replay quoting eschwarz which kind of makes my explanations redundant. Now I got what you wanted to say above.
Best Regards,
Georgi.

emerge --getbinpkg will fetch remote packages from the configured binhost and unless you use the "location" config setting in the brand new ~arch version of portage, add it to the database in /var/cache/binpkgs.
If you don't add --getbinpkg to the default emerge options then it's trivial to toggle this without needing a script, just only pass --getbinpkg when downloading libreoffice. Once it is downloaded, I suppose EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--usepkg" is enough to ensure it is always loaded from that.
Crucially, it is --getbinpkg that enables the binhost configuration. Without --getbinpkg, the binhost configuration is just an ini file that is ignored and does nothing. |
Thank you for clarifying. That makes it a lot easier to use as a workaround.

I didn't choose the naming. They are both referred to as a repo. If you put a configuration in repos.conf/ eselect will disable it, but it is obviously an "accident" that it works. In my case, it identified it as "45", so when trying to re-enable it, it enabled the actual repo assigned to that number.
