Hi List,
can some explain this? Machine A+B have identical make.conf (expect in 3
USE-falgs), /etc/portage/*, /usr/portage, profile.
Machine A:
- FEATURES="buildpkg"
- added USE-flag "samba"
- emerge -uD --newuse world
* builds new samba package
* rebuilds some packages (kdebase, cups
Machine B:
- mount PGKDIR of machine A via nfs to PGKDIR on machine B
- added USE-flag "samba"
- emerge -uD --newuse --usepkg world
* merges binary samba
* does not merge anything else (no binary, no ebuild )
It would be nice if I understand why emerge won't remerge binary packages
Hi Ian,
1) Does this seem like a sensible idea? Will it generally work?
2) Will --usepkg --getbinpkg use binary packages for dependencies?
3) Is the resultant Portage database equivalent to source emerges, especially
in respect of future --updates, --newuse, etc?
4) Am I right to use a Portag
If you do --pretend --verbose, does it show the changed USE flags for
the packages? Not sure if 'world' does this, but you could try the
individual packages that you expect to be rebuilt. IIRC, it appears in
green (on a colour screen...) with a + and * next to the USE flag.
emerge -uD --preten
I've also had problems with --usepkg. When it gives me problems, as a
workaround, I force emerge to do what I want with emerge --usepkgonly
--nodeps --oneshot for each and every binpkg that I want merged. If I think
that this may have broken something then afterwards I use "revdep-rebuild -p"
emerge -1 --usepkg --pretend --verbose pkg_spec_from_equery
then the change in USE-Flags are showen and my _correct_ binarys are used.
There's probably a good reason for it being the way it is, but it
doesn't sound as transparent as we might like.

You could use find to copy all symlinks, then use the "symlinks -d -r /"
