Hello,


I am trying to install pptpd on gentoo sparc but i got the following output of emerge:



Code:
openvpn sys-apps # emerge ppp pptpd

 * IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] net-dialup/ppp-2.4.5-r1
[ebuild  N    ~] net-dialup/pptpd-1.3.4-r1  USE="tcpd -gre-extreme-debug"

The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by pptpd (argument)
>=net-dialup/pptpd-1.3.4-r1 ~sparc

NOTE: This --autounmask behavior can be disabled by setting
      EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--autounmask=n" in make.conf.

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring CONFIG_PROTECT).

 * IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.

the package is keyword masked, so you need to unmask it (or unkeyword it, rather)

Code:

mkdir -p /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "net-dialup/pptpd ~sparc" >> /etc/portage/package.use/pptpd
emerge -v pptpd


Any other packages that are ~arch masked should be handled in a similar fashion. Note that there are kernel bits that must be enabled to use pptpd, as well other package dependencies for pptpd

I haven't tried this on sparc, but from the perspective of portage it shouldnt make a difference.
