 Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2003 3:59 pm Post subject: Emerging KDE 3.1 |
 |
|
This is my first time posting a question, so I apologize if it's in the wrong forum.
I've been trying to emerge KDE 3.1r6 today, and when I tried the emerge, I got this message:
# emerge =kde-3.1
Calculating dependancies...
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=kde-3.1 have been masked.
!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.
How can I merge kde 3.1 wit all the dependancies?
Thanks!

KDE-3.1_rc6 is marked as unstable, so you need to do this:
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge kde |

Well, that did it! Thanks.
What exactly does ACCEPT_KEYWORDS do that made the masked ebuilds available?

This is a comment from /etc/make.conf which sheds a bit light onto the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS stuff.
| Code: |
Advanced Masking
# ================
#
# Gentoo is using a new masking system to allow for easier stability testing
# on packages. KEYWORDS are used in ebuilds to mask and unmask packages based
# on the platform they are set for. A special form has been added that
# indicates packages and revisions that are expected to work, but have not yet
# been approved for the stable set. '~arch' is a superset of 'arch' which
# includes the unstable, in testing, packages. Users of the 'x86' architecture
# would add '~x86' to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to enable unstable/testing packages.
# '~ppc', '~sparc', '~sparc64' are the unstable KEYWORDS for their respective
# platforms. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING BUT YOUR SPECIFIC ~ARCHITECTURE IN THE LIST.
# IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ARCH, OR THE IMPLICATIONS, DO NOT MODIFY THIS.
#
#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch"

Cheers,

Well, I guess that answers it.
Thanks for the help!
