 |
|
Hi, as you can imagine from the title, I'm trying to get some disk space free, and I noticed that my /usr/portage is about 1Go wide!!!
I don't understand what it is... Can I safely make it smaller??
Thanks. |

Hi!
look at /usr/portage/distfiles
There are all files stored that you've downloaded and emerged...
The files in this directory can safely deleted from time to time, but dont do that when u use a slow inet-connection

cleaning out /usr/portage/distfiles should help quite a bit

First, as others have already said, clear our /usr/portage/distfiles
Second, set up a /etc/portage/rsync_excludes file, uncomment /etc/make.conf to use it, and delete the unused ebuild categories from /usr/portage
My file for a very minimal system: | Code: |
sysweb@knuth:sysweb $ cat /etc/portage/rsync_excludes
# KNUTH.....
# slais-sysweb@.... 2003-09-22
## Required for emerge system

Note that as the ebuild categories get re-organised from time to time you will need to update this list from time to time. If you emerge and it cannot find an ebuild to satisfy a dependency that usually means that something is being excluded that is required. Also check the date of the files in /usr/portage after emerge sync, an excluded directory that has not been deleted will show up by not having the date of the latest sync

You can automaticaly generate this /etc/portage/rsync_excludes file with these two commands :
| Code: |
emerge -ep `qpkg -I -nc` | grep ebuild | sed 's/.*] //' | sed 's/\/.*//' | sort | uniq > used_categories
grep -v -F -f used_categories /usr/portage/profiles/categories > /etc/portage/rsync_excludes
|
Update: lighter version not taking eventual new dependencies into account, therefore much faster, and single line just to show off :p :
| Code: | | grep -v -F `qpkg -I -nc |sed 's/^/-e /'|sed 's/\/.*//'|sort|uniq` /usr/portage/profiles/categories > /etc/portage/rsync_excludes |

I can't seem to make the first command to work  "used_categories" came out empty.
My portage version is Portage 2.0.50-r9. |

Try this instead: (qpkg is part of gentoolkit) | Code: | | qpkg -I -nc | sed 's:/.*::' | uniq > used_categories |
Edit: added back -nc.  |

emerge -ep `qpkg -I -nc` seems to be the problem.
| Quote: | talk root # emerge -ep `qpkg -I -nc`
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies /
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "app-portage/deltup" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- app-portage/deltup-0.4.0 (masked by: ~keyword)
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
|
Could be because I don't have "app-portage/deltup" in my portage.
| Quote: | talk root # ls /usr/portage/app-portage/
abeni epm genlop gentoolkit-dev mirrorselect porthole
ebuilder esearch gentoo-stats kentoo portage-prefpane splat
envtest genflags gentoolkit metagen portagemaster ufed
|
BTW my system is using: Portage 2.0.50-r9 (x86, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.7-hardened)
This one worked: (Thanks oberyno)
| Code: | | qpkg -I -nc | sed 's:/.*::' | uniq > used_categories |
And this too: (Thanks moltonel)
| Code: | qpkg -I -nc |sed 's/\/.*//'|sort|uniq

Deltup was removed from portage a while ago according to this thread. Without a valid ebuild in portage, portage can't figure out what to do.
I would suggest putting the ebuild in your overlay. | Code: | #uncomment the PORTDIR_OVERLAY line in make.conf
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-portage/deltup
cp /var/db/pkg/app-portage/deltup-0.4.0/deltup-0.4.0.ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-portage/deltup/ |
