Another hint: I did 2 partial upgrades from Suse 7.3 to current Gentoo with this method. But I did not "emerge --inject" the versions that portage wanted, but rather the versions I had (as of "rpm -qa|grep ...").
This way, portage should know when it should upgrade, and when it needn't. If portage wants to upgrade, and you don't, use "--nodeps". And if it doesn't compile, you know your prerequisites are probably too old. |

| rescue tarball doesn't create certain files belonging to baselayout which the script in the post actually copies manually. So, anyone who is not using the script and having those depscan or 'ebegin not found' kind of errors, make sure you follow the script to see where those files from baselayout are copied and then copy them manually. |

Awesome HOW-TO, and thanks, micolous, for the Debian tips. Just finished installing portage on a debian system so I could get packages not in the official debian repos (and I don't feel like looking all over the place for other reposes). Haven't added much so far, just win32codec, mplayer, and mplayerplug-in, so now I can watch trailers on apple's website. Thanks again!

this is going to need some hacking to get working in Cygwin... >_>
Unfortunatly, I'm not a programmer.
And the surrent portage-on-cygwin stuff ain't workin' for me  |

is it at all possible, to have an updated howto, considering portage has changed considerably and fc3 isnt as ugly as fc2 used to be..

Somebody posted the link for rescue tars in responses, just updating it here at the top:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~carpaski/portage_rescue/
/EDIT
EDIT: Jan 22
found a much easier way to install portage on a non-gentoo system.
get the rescue tarball for your arch from here:
ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/gentoo-x86-portage/sys-apps/portage/files/
read the README.RESCUE. Untar, emerge sync and emerge portage should get you on your way!!
/EDIT
ACTUAL POST BEGINS:
OK guys, after I figured that lot of people had problems regarding this, I thought a script is in order and hence a separate thread.
WARNING: I have verified each and every step in this script. I have everything in there from my own experience. Before you attempt to use it, make sure that you have a backup of the system(for weak hearted guys...). Have a look at the script and know what it does. Although, its not destructive in the sense that unless and until you emerge glibc straightaway, you are safe. Don't emerge glibc,gcc,binutils,baselayout. Alias emerge to something which asks for confirmation if its not "emerge -p <>". And if e.g. "emerge -p tar" tells you that its going to emerge binutils, make sure to inject binutils first. Make sure you have enough space in /(roughly at least 1GB). Just a friendly warning...

This script is now officially tested by me and others.
Thanks.
PS:
I use the following script to prune out all packages I have marked unsafe for portage on Fedora.
-------------------------------------------------
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
emerge sync
emerge -p -uD world > /tmp/world.update
for i in `cat /etc/portage/package.mask.ORG` ;
do
matching=`grep "$i" /tmp/world.update`
if [ -n "$matching" ]; then
toInject=`echo $matching|cut -d " " -f 4`;
echo "Injecting $toInject"
'emerge' inject $toInject
fi
done
echo "# #"
echo "################# UPDATES #######################"
echo "# #"
cat /tmp/world.update
|
-------------------------------------------
Currently, my /etc/portage/package.mask.ORG looks like this:
--------------
| Code: |
sys-apps/baselayout
sys-fs/devfsd
sys-kernel/linux-headers
sys-libs/pwdb
sys-libs/pam
sys-libs/pam-login
gnome-base/gdm
sys-apps/kbd
sys-devel/bin86
sys-devel/binutils
net-misc/iputils
sys-apps/shadow
net-misc/dhcpcd
sys-apps/modutils
sys-libs/glibc
sys-devel/gcc
sys-libs/ncurses
sys-apps/cronbase
x11-base/opengl-update
net-mail/mailbase
net-www/epiphany
net-nds/portmap
net-fs/samba
dev-lang/python
sys-fs/e2fsprogs
|
-------------------
No specific reason for anything other than baselayout, glibc, gcc, binutils, I usually update these fabfour with up2date once in a while. These four you should never emerge on redhat/fedora. Remember, services are handled by different mechanisms in gentoo and other distros, so anything which has to do with services you can't really emerge because you didn't emerge baselayout and hence don't have rc-update script. you could hack around them though.
perfect for keeping xfree, gnome, multimedia kind of stuff up2date.
Good luck.
EDIT: How can I forget to thanks Crichards for floating this idea here? Thanks crichards!! please refer this thread as well:

So in order to have emerege not emerge the fab four packages I have to type emerge inject <package> right?
or is there something else I need to do? |

essentially that...new portage (2.0.51) has a package.provided file where you are supposed put the package name with verson number...its useful because most of the time the dependency is like ">=<pkg>-version", so you can put "sys-apps/abc-100" to keep it satisfied forever(well, almost).
moreover, emerging 'empty' will honour the files listed in package.provided. |

Hopefully you can revamp the script to use package.provided, instead of the inject kludge. Then I will give it a shot on Cygwin. |

Any thing i must edit in /usr/bin/emerge for this to work?
Also, I wonder if the errors before emerge sync bombed caused it to misbehave.
But then again I'm thrilled that this can be even thought of.  |

you need to run it as 'root' user, whatever that means on cygwin.
the script made the mistake of not exitting on finding this....now corrected. sandbox doesn't compile on solaris either, so it has to be left out of the script... |

It seems sandbox does not compile here also.
Also, since the script (and emerge itself) checks if I'm running as root by checking if I'm running as UID 0, there's no way I can run emerge in Cygwin, unless I can change it to check for UID 18 somehow.
| Cygwin ML post wrote: |
Now, as far as root is concerned, Unix programs think of "root" as uid 0.
The Cygwin versions of those programs are usually patched to consider uid 18 to be root (this corresponds to the LocalSystem account, which has very high privileges on NT systems, unlike the Administrator account).

I hacked portage_data.py so that it would check for UID 500 (NT Administrator account) instead of UID 0, and emerge sync still dies.

that's python refusing to spawn /bin/bash. does /bin/bash exist?
your python has problem loading SSL dll's as well. have you tested python on cygwin for fork() and stuff? |

Bash is present:
| Code: | $ which bash
/usr/bin/bash
$ ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator Users 527360 Oct 20 2003 /bin/bash |
(on Cygwin, /usr/bin and /bin are mapped to the same physical directory.)

I don't have prior experience with python, how can I test this? |

|
|
I have tried running the install script on a Redhat 9 VPS (Virtual private server) under Virtuozzo.
After the script performs an emerge sync I get the following error:
| Quote: | | Failed to write to mtimedb: 'module' object has no attribute 'HIGHEST_PROTOCOL' |
Then after that it continues but repeats the following output many times:
| Quote: |
Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/3Q-2002
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
.='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move'
s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update /etc/portage/package.*'
........................................................................................Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/portage/bin/emerge", line 2630, in ?
reload(portage)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7241, in ?
do_upgrade(mykey)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7179, in do_upgrade
myworld=open("/"+WORLD_FILE,"w")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '//var/lib/portage/world'
Failed to write to mtimedb: 'module' object has no attribute 'HIGHEST_PROTOCOL'
Failed to write to mtimedb: 'module' object has no attribute 'HIGHEST_PROTOCOL'
ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory
|
Then it finally dies with the following message:
| Quote: | Inject has failed. Please verify and continue with cut & paste of rest of the steps
ERROR. |
Does anyone have any idea what I can do?
[Edit]
In searching around, I think that part of it may be my version of python, which is 2.2.2.
However, if I install a newer version of python, it is my understanding that it will install in a second copy of it in a different location instead of replacing the original, because overwriting the original version could break RH9 system scripts. If this is so, how do I get portage to work off the newer version??

try lowering the python version. stable 2.3.4 maybe. I mean, even Gentoo hasn't moved to 2.4, you are on cygwin...) |
