Getting eix to work with kits

[dkg]

I'm confused what I need to do to get eix to work on a current funtoo system.  People say it should work.  There's an old forum thread that talks about it, but nothing in the thread has helped with my issues.  Worse, I am getting different results on different systems (but never the right results).  Problem one, I get warnings like this...

[root@chopin portage]# eix eix

Then notice the results on this system...

     Description:         Search and query ebuilds

The Available versions are outdated.  I believe what it is updating based on the old /usr/portage tree.  On another system where I removed /usr/portage, eix just always returns no results.  Running 'eix-update' or 'eix-sync -u' do not correct the situation.  In fact, if I remove /usr/portage, then it will complain about missing /usr/portage files...

[root@chopin portage]# eix-update

On another system, eix simply returns old results, but I may have done something to nuke it's cache.  I'm not sure.  I'm using default branches for all kits on these systems.  One system does have a local overlay, but I don't think that's the problem.  What else do I need to do to get eix working?

Where on your system is this PORTDIR set?

Eix determines the path from  location attribute in /etc/portage/repos.conf/funtoo/core-kit

rj@funtoo ~ $ cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/funtoo/default 
[DEFAULT]
main-repo = core-kit
rj@funtoo ~ $ cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/funtoo/core-kit 
[core-kit]
location = /var/git/meta-repo/kits/core-kit
auto-sync = no

Using ports-2012 location attribute was /usr/portage

rj@funtoo ~ $ cat /etc/portage/repos.conf.bak/gentoo

main-repo = gentoo

[gentoo]
location = /usr/portage
sync-type = git

There seems to be something wrong on your system, as eix still reports old versions of eix as available. When I look at my portage tree on my system, there is only an ebuild for version 0.32.9-r1.

Also the warning messages about your parent file suggest that the content of your parent file is not correct. Could you post the parent file?

Because eix's database is out-of-date.  Those are not actually the ebuilds available.

What is '--new-repo' supposed to do?  As far as I can see, that is not a valid argument to emerge.

sorry, --newrepo, it was typo with --new-repo

WOW!  That is going to rebuild the whole system (922 packages).  That's what I need to do to fix eix?

[palica]

sorry. my bad about new-repo. But should help you with packages being displayed as not installed in eix output.

can you list

/var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf

[Oleg Vinichenko]

i cannot say about eix as i don't use it, but yes it can be indirectly good for eix. As jhan pointed, when ebuild installed , there are may various metadata about ebuild installed into /var/db/* including special file repository, which has all information about what repo ebuild installed from. --newrepo will rebuild those ebuilds that now changed it's origin, for example 

sys-libs/ncurses::gentoo will be sys-libs/ncruses::core-kit, so gentoo was a name of repository (and which was in /usr/portage). With rebuild you will get your /var/db correctly set. Which might fix eix (i can't tell)

I do not have an issue with eix displaying incorrect information about what is installed.  It is reporting incorrect information about what is available to install.  Really, it doesn't seem logical that rebuilding the system will fix that issue, or the other issue described above (warning: ignoring parent).

The chopin.conf file is for a local overlay on this system.  The other system where I have eix issues does not have a local overlay.  If eix is working for you, please describe any steps taken beyond those in the meta-repo migration guide.

[palica]

so I would recommend you to do it this way:

/etc/portage/repos.conf/ will contain:

• copy all the kits and prepend them with ego-
  • so you will have ego-core-kit linking to /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf/core-kit and so on for other kits
  • don't copy default
  • put stuff from default into core-kit
• put your chopin.conf in here too

This is going to be the new layout coming with ego-2.3.2

Paste your chopin.conf

eix-sync works without problems no need to write custom scripts

[palica]

you want probably

for the useflags I would suggest to remove them from make.conf and use profiles instead

for example

gif jpeg png tiff flac ogg vorbis mp3

are all in audio and media mix-ins which are part of workstation flavor which is part of desktop flavor

so selecting desktop flavor has you covered with most of them

you want probably

L10N="${LINGUAS}" in your make.conf

for the useflags I would suggest to remove them from make.conf and use profiles instead

for example

gif jpeg png tiff flac ogg vorbis mp3

are all in audio and media mix-ins which are part of workstation flavor which is part of desktop flavor

so selecting desktop flavor has you covered with most of them

It's likely those USE flags predate funtoo profiles.  This system has been in operation since early 2014.  Surely, that is not the cause of my eix troubles.

[dkg]

Another point.  Earlier I said this...

On another system, eix simply returns old results, but I may have done something to nuke it's cache.  I'm not sure.

I figured out that difference.  On the other system I had deleted /usr/portage, as it did not have space for both trees.  If I do 'mv /usr/portage /usr/portage.old && eix-update' on this system, then I get the same empty results as the other system.

so I would recommend you to do it this way:

/etc/portage/repos.conf/ will contain:

• copy all the kits and prepend them with ego-
  • so you will have ego-core-kit linking to /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf/core-kit and so on for other kits
  • don't copy default
  • put stuff from default into core-kit
• put your chopin.conf in here too

This is going to be the new layout coming with ego-2.3.2

Paste your chopin.conf

eix-sync works without problems no need to write custom scripts

 

I'm having trouble understanding your instructions.  You say to "copy all the kits".  Copy them from where?  Are you saying to copy the files in /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf/?  Then you say that I will have 'ego-core-kit linking to...'.  Um.  If I copy files, then they will be files, not links.  Unless you are talking about the locations in those files.  If so, then I would have to change all the locations in the files, no?

[root@chopin ~]# cat /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf/core-kit
[core-kit]
location = /var/git/meta-repo/kits/core-kit
auto-sync = no
priority = 1

[root@chopin ~]# cat /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf/chopin.conf
[chopin]
location = /var/git/overlay/chopin
masters = core-kit
auto-sync = no
priority = 10

USE flag - you are right not the cause of your problems with eix

Iinstructions - yes you are right it says copy in one and link in other. my fault

copy all the kits from /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf/ to /etc/portage/repos.conf/ (prepend them with ego-)

add stuff from default to ego-core-kit

add your chopin.conf to /etc/portage/repos.conf/

rm /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf

I'm sorry.  I fail to see how this will get eix to stop looking for /usr/portage.  Will it fix the warnings?  Is this what you have done to get eix to work?

(I have no /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf file, by the way.)

[palica]

I haven't done anything to my systems and eix just works. It is something with your system that is miss-configured and you have to find it. I was just trying to help to narrow down the causes.

what is in /var/git/meta-repos/repos.conf/default ?

[palica]

yes

main-repo = core-kit

You have no /etc/eixrc or ~/.eixrc files?  For the record, I do not.  Do you have PORTDIR set somewhere?  I do not.  Yet, 'eix --print PORTDIR' returns '/usr/portage', which is wrong.
