 |
|
| Why is audacious-1.5.0 showing as masked when I search for it on the gentoo portage web site, but when I do a emerge --search audacious-1.5.0 it doesn't show up at all? This is right after I did an update with emerge --sync. |

Portage did not show it to you because of what they call "visibility". Since that version is masked by | Quote: | | KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~hppa ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd" |
Because there are "visible" versions for your arch and "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS" setting, it does not show it. If you like package.gentoo or larrythecow websites and the ebuild table. Try out porthole, we have an ebuild table that is somewhat configure-able to give you nearly all that same information from your own copy of the tree. It will let you browse the packages and versions, even let you install it with just a click or two.

I checked out porthole. it looks nice, but i won't let myself use it. i stay away from anything gui that makes it easier to use linux because it's important for me to learn it inside and out through the cli.
hey, i don't know why but i can't find the accept_keywords in my /etc/make.conf:
| Code: |
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
CFLAGS=" -march=opteron -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
# This should not be changed unless you know exactly what you are doing. You
# should probably be using a different stage, instead.
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CONFIG_PROTECT="-*"
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
#USE="-kde -gnome -qt3 -qt4 jpeg tiff png xvmc X"
USE="imagemagick visualization mp4 oss -real xvmc qt4 hal dbus gtk jpeg tiff mp3 flac alsa -kde -gnome svg glitz pdf png X -cups -ipv6 truetype opengl"
#For Amarok
#USE="-real visualization mp4 oss"
ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw copy dshare dsnoop extplug file hooks ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null rate route share shm"
source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf
#PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects"

Isn't it supposed to be here? |

The better way is to add media-sound/audacious to the /etc/portage/package.keywords (create the file if it does not exist there)
As you probably do not want to have all packages unmasked.
Once that is done you should see the version 1.5.0 of audacious when doing emerge --search audacious. |

| ya, i did add audacious-1.5.0 to my package.keywords but I get a message that the ebuild does not exist. It should since it is in the Gentoo Portage web site, right? |

ya, i just realized that after I posted it but already went to bed.
Ok, so THERE is a problem with in portage. in my package.keywords i have media-sound/audacious-1.5.0 ~x86.
But when I emerge it I get missing ebuilds for this. Audacious 1.5.0 does show up in Gentoo portage web site(as masked) AND larry the cow. So, it should be in my portage cache after I did a fresh emerge --sync. Why isn't it? |

2 things. 1 may only be a typo.
| Quote: | | i have media-sound/audacious-1.5.0 ~x86. |
If that is the exact form of what you have entered, then portage should have been complaining about an invalid atom in package.keywords somewhere in the terminal output. Check and you should find it somewhere in there. It is not a fatal error so would ignore it, since it is invalid.
Whenever you add a version to a package in the package.* files you must put a qualifier atom in front. Or do not put version information at all. These three examples are valid | Code: | =media-sound/audacious-1.5.0 ~x86
>=media-sound/audacious-1.5 ~x86
media-sound/audacious ~x86 |
if you don't like gui's then do an | Code: | | # ls -l /usr/portage/media-sound/audacious |
And you will get a listing of all audacious versions in your copy of the portage tree. To browse the tree from a terminal, just precede the directory with /usr/portage/category/package for any package in the tree. That should give you some more info to go on.
| Code: | brian@big_squirt ~/porthole/trunk/porthole $ ls -l /usr/portage/media-sound/audacious
total 48
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2372 2008-01-29 05:06 audacious-1.4.5.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2378 2008-05-12 08:36 audacious-1.4.6.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1948 2008-03-13 18:23 audacious-1.5.0.ebuild

| no no no ....i'm at work so i don't know what the exact syntax is that i used. but i did the correct syntax. i installed masked packages before this one successfully, so i know how to do it correctly. if i did not do the correct syntax i would get an invalid atom message. but i didn't. i got a message saying that there are no ebuilds for this version of audacious. |
