 Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2006 1:15 am Post subject: Emerging Gentoo-Sources |
 |
|
hi all due to un-foreseen problems yesterday I broke my install beyond repair, and had to F.R.I.
I'm a little confused though as after installing, I did a , followed by a
then ran genkernel (after emerging it)... at this point I realised that even though the live cd (LiveCD 2006.0) had
kernel 2.6.15-r5, the emerge currently emerges 2.6.15-r1... this is a WTF to me so I checked my wifes machine and if I was
to re-emerge the sources it would update to 2.6.15-r1, even though I emerged her sources only 4 days ago (when she decided
that the last BOD she got was the last straw, so converted to Linux  ), and that emerged 2.6.15-r5...
Any ideas????
Also the Deep update world took 8 hours, I know I was only downloading at 7.5K/sec but this seemed a bit long to me...

Hi.
Look at the output of emerge -pv gentoo-sources and grep gentoo-sources /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask. Are you using the stable or the testing branch - grep ACCEPT_KEYWORDS /etc/make.conf?

tx for reply... output below
| Code: |
localhost ~ # emerge -pv gentoo-sources
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 -build -doc -symlink (-ultra1) 0 kB

the make.conf file contains

not sure whether or not if using stable or testing, as I went with the defaults using the 2006.0 Live CD... I assume i'm using stable
This is more a a WTF post than an actuall problem, as the 2.6.15-r1 kernel does all that I need it to...
My system is:
Athlon XP 2600+
ASUS A7N8X-X M/B
512MB DDR RAM
HIS Excalibur 9550 (uses ATI Radeon 9550 chipset and drivers - I have not yet installed the drivers though)
keyboard is PS/2, Mouse is a Logitech MarbleMouse USB (trackball)

| basically yeah the latest stable kernel for your arch is older than the kernel on the liveCD. I'd've thought that everything on the live CD *should* have come from stable rather than testing though... But appears not |

strange... I had a full HDD crash, as in the HDD is FUBAR (F'd Up Beyond All Recognition) so it's off for waranty...
good ol' trusty seagate have done it to me again, why can't me supplier stock Maxtor???  I NEVER have had any
luck with seagates they all seem to go south after 1.5 years... but I do have a fully working 1GB Maxtor that works reliably
even though it has been pulled apart and put back together, something I wouldn't dare try on a seagate, but i'm getting
off topic...
So I have bought a new HDD so I have one... re-installed gentoo and havn't synced yet, emerging sources I get 2.6.15-r5...
I guess I didn't sync before emerging sources on the wifes box... and it does run stable... could it be that the Australian
sync servers are actually out of date as I usually set them to be my default source, as they are obviously closer than say the US
servers... (I Live in QLD Aust.)
or is it as drwook said and the 2006.0 CD uses an un-stable source for my arch? If a developer could look into this I think people
would be interested in the result...
