|
|
Hello
I am trying to install gentoo. Currenly when I do an
Code: | emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware |
I get this message.
Code: | These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 1.85 s (backtrack: 0/20).
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-kernel/linux-firmware" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-99999999::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable license(s), missing keyword)
A copy of the 'linux-fw-redistributable' license is located at '/var/db/repos/gentoo/licenses/linux-fw-redistributable'.
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20240709-r1::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable license(s))
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20240610-r3::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable license(s), ~amd64 keyword)
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20240610-r1::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable license(s))
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20240513::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable license(s))
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
From the https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-kernel/linux-firmware page I can tell that 9999 is in the testing phase, as well as 20240610-r3. How can I continue installing linux-firmware package. I think I will be choosing 20240709-r1:0 but am not sure.
Kind Regards
Riza |

Does this mean I am accepting every license?
I would maybe after that add this to the /etc/portage/make.conf
Code: | ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE @BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE" |

It means that you accept every license for the package "linux-firmware" at the moment ... later, when you modify it globally in your make.conf you have to decide yourself what you want to accept.
I am allowing every license with one exception: End User Licenses in my make.conf:
Code: | ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" |
... but it is your decision. _________________ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger |

I will be using the example given in the handbook. Could these be change in the future, when something else comes up, and I would need to accept every license? |

No, there is no reason to accept every license (except laziness, like me) ... if you really want to accept a license that is not covered by @FREE and @BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE, you can always add it to the ACCEPT_LICENSE variable. _________________ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger |

You can change which licenses you accept at any time. You can even change per-package configuration.
This is no different than USE flags. |
