 Posted: Sat May 24, 2003 3:01 am Post subject: How to rebuilt KDE packages ? |
 |
|
I discovered after the latest update that my make.conf was not mine <sigh>. So all my optimizations were lost. KDE is much slower now and I want to recompile it to regain the USE flags and Athlon support I had.
Will I have to do each package seperately and HOW do I keep my make.conf from being overwritten? I could have sworn I had it in the list not to automerge and I cannot say when it happened either.
Is there a command switch for portage that is not listed that allows a package like KDE or Gnome to be rebuilt from scratch without having to go and do each one one at a time. |

You can use the 'emerge -e' option to rebuild a package and its dependency tree. For example,
will rebiuld all KDE packages as well as any package in the KDE dependency tree. Similarly,
will rebuild all installed packages, esentially giving you a stage 1 system. |

it probably was overwritten when you did an etc-update. to prevent this from happening again, you should allways take a look at the files that are about to be updated and than decide what to do. (when you do an etc-update it will show you a list of the files it wants to update. by simply pressing the number of the file on the list etc-update will show you what it will do.)
also if you run emerge -ep kde it will only show you what it would do as the p stands for pretend. be carefull using the -e option as recompiling all the dependencies will take a long time and probably isn't necessary. to recompile kde simply type emerge kde(or the package you want to recompile). also make sure to take a look at the portage user-docs on www.gentoo.org.
as to kde being slow. did update it after your make.conf had been changed? otherwise i don't think it has anything to do with your make.conf. |

I know I accidently overwrote it at some point (make.conf). However typing "emerge kde" does nothing. I had already tried that.
I don't mind doing a -e and recompiling. If I fire it up when I go to bed, it will be done by the time I get up 
Thanks for the feedback and information! |
