| Vash63 | Is there a way to force emerge to use an ebuild from the official tree and not from an overlay if they both have the same version #? |
| nikolavp | maybe it is diff arch or maybe Vash63 havent done a emerge --sync in a while :) |
| _AxS_ | Vash63: are you masking earlier versions of reetype in your own package.mask? |
| chithead | NightKhaos, _AxS_: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gentoo-x86/x11-libs/libXft/libXft-2.1.12.ebuild |
| nikolavp | or layman --sync-all |
| Vash63 | Because libXft has two unmasked 2.1.12's, one from official tree and another from the xeffects overlay. Maybe portage is trying to get the one from the overlay which might rely on aa masked package by their error? |
| chithead | NightKhaos, _AxS_: says only freetype, no version specified |
| NickGarvey | what might cause this error? "Searching... \!!! A file is not listed in the Manifest: '/usr/portage/app-office/openoffice-bin/openoffice-bin-2.2.0.ebuild'" |
| nikolavp | NickGarvey: i get this from time to time :) i get bunch of those when i sync from the local server and dont know why ;0 |
| NickGarvey | nikolavp: how do you get it to go away? |
| nikolavp | try syncing from the official one ;) |
| theBear | Niklas-, maybe you don't have delete turned on in the rsync options ? |
| nikolavp | NickGarvey: if u trust the server u can do ebuild "the file" digest or just delete it ;D |
| Vash63 | Is there some way to force portage to take an ebuild from the tree instead of an overlay? When they're both the same version number? |
| _AxS_ | Vash63: yeah, remove the overlay |
| nikolavp | theBear: what is the definition for this in make.conf ? |
| theBear | NickGarvey, i'm thinking maybe you have a half-finished sync.... |
| NickGarvey | theBear: I have resynced |
| Vash63 | That's the only way? |
| theBear | nikolavp, i was thinking at the server end |
| NickGarvey | nikolavp: I think I am using the offical one.. I forget how I chose the server when I set up.. |
| theBear | NickGarvey, maybe that server/the whole tree is just a bit wrong this half-hour... |
| _AxS_ | Vash63: or edit the one in the overlay.. if an overlay has the same version# as in the tree, it is _meant_ to overwrite it Vash63: that's the whole point of them |
| nikolavp | theBear: well i get bunch of those when i emerge from one of the country servers |
| Vash63 | Ok, that was the issue. I guess the ebuilds are different even though they have the same version number. |
| nikolavp | so i switched to the official ones for SYNC= in make /etc/make.conf |
| _AxS_ | what was the overlay from? |
| Vash63 | xeffects. |
| _AxS_ | ah |
| theBear | nikolavp, err, all the gentoo servers are the same, gentoo.org or otherwise if they're in the list |
| Vash63 | I'm going to report it to them, that's why I didn't want to unmask it, seemed like a problem for an ebuild to be unmasked if it relied on a masked package. |
| nikolavp | Vash63: ask in gentoo-xeffects maybe they know something about it |
| Vash63 | Yeah, I'm going to. |
| theBear | altho occasionally one or several DO get a bit wrong for a short time.... sometimes they have transfer errors, and sometimes someone (dev) does something silly and doesn't notice for a short while |
| _AxS_ | Vash63: to use xeffects you're supposed to ~arch-ify everything from the overlay anyways arent you? |
| nikolavp | theBear: this one is not in the list but it was doing quite a nice work for me |
