[Pre-built kernels!]

Before, I compiled a personal kernel, put it on my friend's server, then downloaded it to my every funtoo box.

 

Now, I can create a funtoo box in 30 min without doing that.

 

Awesome. Thanks for your efforts. :D

unfortunately, portage has a flow in sets management.  see https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-1556

Thanks. Oleg. I will pay close attention to this issue.

`emerge -1` (-1 = --oneshot) will not add the package to the world file.  You need to remove the --oneshot option for any package to be added to the world file when manually installing a package.

 

--oneshot SHOULD be used when manually reinstalling @system files, that way they are not added to the @world set as well as belonging to the @system set.

 

One can manually add a previously installed package to the world set by using the --noreplace flag, ie `emerge --noreplace =debian-sources-3.14.37`.

I created a user-defined set call "kernel" which contains "sys-kernel/debian-sources"

 

In this way, I can seperate sys-kernel/debian-sources from other packages in world file.

When I use "emerge -auDN @world", I can not have to update @kernel.

 

That is what I want to do.

A few days ago, I reinstalled my funtoo box.

 

I followed this page http://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo_Linux_Installation#Configuring_and_installing_the_Linux_kernel to configure a set kernel:

 

    1. mkdir /etc/portage/sets

    2. echo sys-kernel/debian-sources > /etc/portage/sets/kernel

    3. echo "sys-kernel/debian-sources binary" >> /etc/portage/package.use

    4. emerge -1 @kernel

 

I am sure about 2 things:

 

    1. nothing is in /usr/lib/portage/world_sets

    2. sys-kernel/debian-sources is not in /usr/lib/portage/world

 

Now , the question is coming - When I emerge --depclean, portage will clean my kernel.

>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

I don't know why Portage didn't work as I know.

 

Can you guys give a tip ?
