i ran the following:
| Code: | (chroot) ubuntu / # emerge --ask sys-kernel/genkernel
and it returns this:
* IMPORTANT: 6 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-kernel/linux-firmware" have been masked.

Im not sure what to do. I'll try setting up the license to free since I remembered that i forgot it.

You can create it as file or directory

i read this: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1132956.html
The thing is that i dont have a package.license dir and my package.use empty.. So should i just create a dir for package.license and a subdir or file named kernel and then add this in"sys-kernel/linux-firmware no-source-code"? |

| i created a dir called package.license and a file named kernel inside it. i have edited the file and added what you reccommended and did etc-update afterwards. I still get the same error message. Note i dont have this in make.conf ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE" . i skipped that since my understanding was that there are defeault settings. |

You should also add linux-fw-redistributable license to sys-kernel/linux-firmware in package.license
| Code: | | sys-kernel/linux-firmware linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code |

Thank you i could whit this I'm compiling the kernel, I Would like to understand a little more since I being having problems whit license's then the file
| Code: | | /etc/portage/package.license/kernel |
it is the place to portage look in to
and it most contain
| Code: | | sys-kernel/linux-firmware linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code |
to accept the license of sys-kernel/linux-firmware and my guess is also to linux-fw-redistributable those two are package an the license are in this case no-source-code, as I see here in the same line you put the package which needs the license to be accepted an the license even if i put just the license it wont work and as i see if one package it isn't specified it' wont work sorry just what to clarify to future thank you again ! |

Portage looks inside /etc/portage at the various files, most of which may also be directories (in this case making package.license a directory). If its a directory any name may be used. (Instead of /etc/portage/package.license/kernel we could use /etc/portage/package.license/example)
The package.license format
sys-kernel/linux-firmware is the package
both linux-fw-redistributable and no-source-code are licenses that the package falls under. Copies of these (and every other license) are found inside /var/db/repos/gentoo/licenses/ , by default portage is set so that it doesn't complain about free open source software, but since linux-firmware isn't open source, it asks you to review these licenses. |
