 Posted: Tue Aug 13, 2002 5:39 pm Post subject: ppc KEYWORDS (aka why is this ebuild showing as masked) |
 |
|
***** admin *****
as this is realy outdated, i removed the sticky.
We have moved ahead to the next step of QA for the ppc Gentoo world. As some users may have noticed, we now have ppc KEYWORDS, meaning that if the build has not been tested and verified on ppc, it will not have the ppc KEYWORD set in it, and it will show up as a masked build. There are ways of installing this build, and this will tell you how.
1) you can install any pkg file by directly calling the ebuild file, regardless of KEYWORDS. i.e. emerge /usr/portage/app-editors/joe/joe-2.9.5.ebuild would install that pkg even if there is no ppc keyword set.
2) This will not work automagically for installing any DEPENDs of this ebuild. If there are also DEPENDs that are not keyworded with ppc, you will ahve to manually install them first using the method above.
3) **VERY IMPORTANT** : In order to help up ppc developers get more things tested and keyworded, if you do happen to use this method and the build(s) you installed work, please please report it either by emailing gentoo-ppc-dev@gentoo.org with the report of the exact build(s) you installed or talking to a ppc dev in IRC, at irc.openprojects.net in #gentoo-ppc. The same goes for any verified non-working builds (that don't already have -ppc in them)
Thanks for everyone's help to make Gentoo PPC the best distro it can be.

you could built them that way but sometimes if the build is a depend i like to use ekeyword to make it stable then built as opposed to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="blahs"

I've written a program that scans all installed program seeking all the ebuilds that aren't yet reported arch-compatible.
It can be useful for people with short memory (like me  ), that don't remember the ebuilds they have forced.
Download the .ebuild file here and follow these instructions:
| Code: | mkdir /usr/local/portage/app-portage
mkdir /usr/local/portage/app-portage/arch-finder
cp arch-finder-0.1b.ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-portage/arch-finder/
cd /usr/local/portage/app-portage/arch-finder/
ebuild arch-finder-0.1b.ebuild digest
emerge arch-finder |
where /usr/portage is your portage-overlay directory (configure it into /etc/make.conf).
To check your installed apps simply do:
As you noticed the system architecture can be specified by the user, and in this case will be "ppc"... 
For more infos read the man page or ask me.
Obviously suggestions and feature-request are welcome!
[EDIT] new version 0.1b

micron, I used your program but Im not sure its working..
| Code: | dune arch-finder # arch-finder -a ppc
Scanning portage tree, please wait
These ebuild aren't yet signed as ppc-compatible!
/usr/portage/dev-python/pythong/pythong-2.1.5.ebuild
/usr/portage/net-im/amsn/amsn-0.90.ebuild
Submit a report sending a mail to gentoo-ppc-dev@gentoo.org
Unbelivable: these ebuilds are heavy masked, are you sure they're working?!
/usr/portage/sys-kernel/ppc-sources/ppc-sources-2.4.24-r1.ebuild
/usr/portage/sys-kernel/ppc-sources/ppc-sources-2.4.24-r2.ebuild
|
Both ppc-sources-2.4.24-r1 and ppc-sources-2.4.24-r2 are stable |

Thanks for reporting this bug, it was related to -ppc64 flag into:
| Code: | | KEYWORDS="ppc -ppc64" |
I've fixed it, in the next day I'll put a new ebuild into my web-site
But don't be scared, arch-finder reports successfully all new ebuild

With the new portage features, is there a more elegant way to do this?
I tried to add the package name to /etc/portage/package.unmask, but emerge still does not want to install the package.

Finally I've solved some problem with my friend's site and I've released the new version of arch-finder, you can find it here

i can not send to gentoo-ppc-dev@lists.gentoo.org because i haven't subscribed to it. anyway, just letting you know that micq 0.4.11 compiles and runs most peachy on my powerbook (actually, i never had a problem with micq...).

I usually copy the ebuild over to my portage overlay directory and add a 'ppc' keyword to the list. I then file a bug report if it compiles properly.
If I want to know which packages I have overridden I just do a ls -R in my portage overlay. Not fancy, but it works.

micron,
You should add gentoolkit to the RDEPEND in your ebuild. |

Thanks for the report, I've fixed it.
But, as someone posted above, arch-finder is quite useless, there're other ways to discover ppc's untested packages.
Iit was only one of my first program in python (and you can easy notice it if you know python )

I'm not subscribed to that mailing list either but I would like to report success with net-print/cups-pdf version 1.6.4. Here is the email I tried to send:
Hi,
I have a PPC 603 based KuroBox running Gentoo and have successfully installed the package net-print/cups-pdf, version 1.6.4. That package is marked "~ppc" so I wanted to report my success with it. For me, it is working as both a Linux printer and as a Windows printer through CUPS.
I personally wish the PDF output was in a different directory but otherwise it is working fine.
Base on this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=2058546
If there is anything specific that you would want tested, please let me know and I will do the best I can. |
