 Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2005 3:39 am Post subject: first time installing portage on mac os |
 |
|
Hi,
I am giving portage for mac os a shot here...
I run | Code: | | FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge portage |
which works fine. But then when I do I get the following problems with masked packages,
| Code: | Calculating system dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "net-misc/iputils" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-misc/iputils-021109-r3 (masked by: missing keyword)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! Problem resolving dependencies for net-misc/iputils
!!! Depgraph creation failed. |
Anybody know what I need to do to get the base system installed.
Also, I would like to see this project go farther so I would be willing to help with testing packages, or help doing whatever needs done. Is there someone I can contact that can provide me with more information about ways I can help out.
Thanks!
Evan |

OS X should have its own iputils (the description says it's ping and stuff), so you would prolly get a collision again, if you enable it with an modified ebuild in your portdir overlay
(search the documentation or the forums to learn how to  )
you could turn off collision-protect, but you would overwrite some OS X stuff
seems to be an error in the system-definition, but I got no clue how to correct it ^^
if there's something in this package, that OS X don't have, maybe someone could modify the ebuild, like adding a macos useflag to avoid overwriting binaries provided by os x... hmm.. probably this stuff is unimportant enough to be overwritten without causing any trouble and I'm making things more difficult as they are ^^
(ouch... is my english so bad as it seems to me?  ) |

Ok, I tried doing this | Code: | | echo -e "net-misc/iputils" >> /etc/portage/package.provided |
and then emerge system still fails with the above error.
Any ideas? |

I read a post somewhere saying they are working on changing portage to install everything to it's own directory. I decided to wait for this because it is actually someone elses main computer and I don't feel like screwing something up and making them really angry  . Once there are a little more advances on this then I will be back at it! |

I went through that list and it looks like large portions of it are redundant, useless or unworkable.
udev, module-init-tools = useless
e2fsprogs,kbd = unworkable
binutils = all 3
autoconf, automake, which, net-tools, iputils = redundant
I am not sure about man-pages, procps, shadow, and psmisc.
Perhaps this should be posted to bugs.gentoo.org |
