Funtoo dead (at least for me?)?

[kayvax]

Hi all,

I have recently started to notice lack of updates. Notably updates from Funtoo poortage tree. Even after two weeks without  emerge --sync all I got is one package from tree and a bunch from overlays.

 

Is there any hiatus from pulling updates from Gentoo tree or some great sanitation effort of such pull that makes updates almost nonexistant?

 

Or there was some change in portage mechanism that went by unnoticed by me? Devs went away? I have got blacklisted or something?

 

And latest changes (ie. forum) seem to be made around Funtoo. It was quite hard to understand why scrap older platform and start with bare-metal one (but full with bells and whistles). I do not event recall message that would give warning about planned restart; went by bookmarked url and got nothing.

 

I feel like Funtoo is vanishing.

No, it's very much alive and blooming. Could you, please provide more info about no updates. i.e give emerge update output?

$ emerge --update world -p

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies ... done!
[ebuild     U  ] sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.51.9999 [3.4.50.9999]
[ebuild     U  ] net-analyzer/nmap-6.47 [6.25-r1] USE="-zenmap%" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7%*" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7%*" 
[ebuild     U  ] dev-java/icedtea-7.2.5.2 [7.2.5.1] USE="-infinality*" 
[ebuild     U  ] media-video/smplayer-14.9.0 [14.3.0]

!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- virtual/jre-1.6.0::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
- virtual/jdk-1.6.0-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

These are from Pentoo, Java and Multimedia overlays.

please, add emerge --info , package.mask, package.unmask in /etc/portage, /etc/make.conf.

Here are requested files:

make_conf: http://dpaste.com/04Y3KRN

package_mask: http://dpaste.com/1PN100H

package_unmask: http://dpaste.com/0Z5Q0JE

 

best regards

remove line 9, remove line 26 in make.conf and remove "1" on line 25.

Thanks Oleg,

35 updates/downgrades, something moved. I will monitor situation.

 

Could you please explain how LANGUAGE and PORTDIR options could make this effect? I have had this set-up for quite a long time and it just worked. It may be that I broke something without even realising when tidying make.conf.

 

best regards.

[Oleg Vinichenko]

LANGUAGE is outdated, not recommended to use. On line 26 you made an overlay+portage tree loop, so emerge confused.

[emarsk]

Wow, this could be the most surgical problem solving I've seen in a forum :)

Great.

[kayvax]

Okey, after some tweaking (moving sourcing layman make.conf after PORTDIR declaration), my funtoo box is alive and kicking. At last there are ~200 updates. Disaster relived.
