new kits, master branch [SOLVED]

[walterw]

Hi,

I want to confirm that for some kits, they're no longer being actively synced with gentoo.  For example, core-kit, apparently is not:

 

The problem is that for example the version I'm trying to download doesn't exist in the gentoo package listing and is not available on mirrors.

 

net-dns/bind-tools-9.11.0_p3:0/0::core-kit

sys-apps/file-5.30

 

Lastly, on a related note, what is the process for marking packages as stable.  Ie, is there automated testing, then someone simply updates the branch?  If so, I'd like to understand the process so I could also automate testing of the builds that I generate so I can ensure when I update my system, it will reliably run.

No, for now you have to edit /etc/ego.conf.

Ego config set|get command is on its way to ego in version 2.3.2 (still has some open bugs - https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-4454)

For the core-kit, I am on the 1.0-prime branch, but should be on 1.1-prime instead.  That seems to resolve that issue.  I'll see if it is just a matter of taking the latest prime branch for each kit.

The package versions you listed in the first post are available in core-kit/1.0-prime

rj@funtoo ~ $ ego query v bind-tools
 net-dns/bind-tools| slot|               repo
-------------------+-----+-------------------
          9.10.4_p4|    0| core-kit/1.0-prime
          9.11.0_p2|     | core-kit/1.0-prime
          9.11.0_p3|     | core-kit/1.0-prime

rj@funtoo ~ $ ego query v file
 sys-apps/file| slot|               repo
--------------+-----+-------------------
          5.25|    0| core-kit/1.0-prime
          5.29|     | core-kit/1.0-prime
        * 5.30|     | core-kit/1.0-prime
          9999|     | core-kit/1.0-prime

I  stay with the majority of users and leave all active branch on default.

  NOTE: This information comes from /etc/ego.conf and meta-repo metadata. After making changes to
  ego.conf, be sure to run ego sync in so that the individual kit repositories on disk are synchronized with the kit branches shown above.

Right, the ones that I was looking for were in the 1.1-prime kit.

 

Is there a shortcut way (rather than specify the branch in /etc/ego.conf) to just use dev everywhere by default?

[walterw]

I am just editing /etc/ego.conf, this works fine for me.

[walterw]

I am marking this as solved as editing /etc/ego.conf works and is simple enough for me.
