 |
|
I just upgraded my system from 2004.3 to 2005.0 and switched profiles to the 2005.0 one. I noticed it doesn't have a make.defaults in it and nowhere else in the directory is any reference to USE flags, so I put my 2004.3 make.defaults in the 2005.0 profile directory. Whenever I run emerge --sync, it deletes the make.defaults file from the profile and moves on. Uhh... what?
Where do the USE flags go in 2005.0? Something has changed drastically and I can't find any reference to it on the gentoo site or forums. Maybe my search-fu just sucks.
Oh, running a 2.6 kernel if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help. |

As far as I know, USE flags still go in /etc/make.conf.

Hmm, I've always had them in make.defaults as stated in the handbook here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=2#doc_chap2
It clearly doesn't like make.defaults even being there anymore, so I've moved everything I had in make.defaults to /etc/make.conf. Thanks.  |

| The handbook link you gave wrote: | As you can see, this variable already contains quite a lot of keywords. Do not alter any make.defaults file to tailor the USE variable to your needs: changes in this file will be undone when you update Portage!
To change this default setting, you need to add or remove keywords to the USE variable. This is done globally by defining the USE variable in /etc/make.conf. |
In general, never do anything within /usr/portage. There is generally an alternative to anything in there, because everything will be overwritten.
