 |
|
i'been trying to install Gentoo following the handbook: plasma+openrc profile [not merged-usr, i think], and i can't update @world due to this
| Code: | app-alternatives/awk-4:
* Package 'app-alternatives/awk-4' has internal collisions between non-identical files (located in separate directories in the installation image (${D}) corresponding to merged directories in the target filesystem...
|
Any tip?
Thanks |

https://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org/msg99145.html
That's the gentoo-dev archive, announcing that profile 23.0 is ready. It also says
| Quote: | Note 2: While there are 23.0 split-usr profiles, the *stage* downloads
are *all* of the merged-usr type. Why? Not because I'm a big fan of that,
but because we should try to unify and standardize a bit again - to
avoid too many different build configurations leading to too many Heisenbugs. |
Does that mean new split-usr installs are impossible? Yes.
Reading that email thread, you can see that Sam objected, but then nothing came of that objection.
Just to be sure, I downloaded the latest openrc stage3 tarball and sure enough, it's using the merged-usr layout. |

bstaletic,
It means that you need an old stage3 to start from, then update.
Or you start from a minimal throw away merged-user and use that to make your own split-user chroot.
Or you reverse the merged-user instructions.
New split-user installs have became more of a learning opportunity than they once were, not impossible.

| I suppose my question should be; are the split-usr stage 3's going to continue being available from distfiles.gentoo.org and just not gentoo.org? |

NeddySeagoon,
You're right on all accounts.

That could be a wild ride some years from now, when there might be profile 29.0 and 35.0.

That one did not cross my mind before... Interesting.

This is the thing I thought of first, but it seems error prone, though the least hassle. Would it just be:
- Unlink directories
- Create actual directories
- Select a split-usr profile
- Rebuild @world

bstaletic,
You would also need to move things around.
| Code: | * sys-apps/merge-usr
Available versions: 6 {PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_10 python3_11"}
Homepage: https://github.com/floppym/merge-usr
Description: Script to migrate from split-usr to merged-usr |

| Also, the current arm64 split-usr had the correct profile set when doing the eselect profile list step to check during install. |
