Bug 58005 – fixpackages should display notice if moved packages are in /etc/portage/package.keywords

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Michael Stewart (vericgar) (RETIRED) 2004-07-22 19:56:13 UTC]

I just had a emerge -pulDv world die on me because of depgraph creation problems. x11-plugins/gaim-encryption was masked by ~x86 keyword. I had in my package.keywords net-im/gaim-encryption so that I could use the latest unstable.

I think automaticly changing /etc/portage/package.keywords is a bad idea, but displaying a message saying that the entries there have moved would be a good idea. This should also apply to the other files in /etc/portage

Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 35986 [details, diff]
patch against portage-2.0.51_pre13 that does this

I had a few minutes, so I tried my hand at implementing this. It seems to work
for me.

Sample output:

Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/3Q-2004
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
  .='update pass'  *='binary update'  @='/var/db move'
  s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move'
.@%%.........@%%
>>> Package net-im/gaim-encryption is being moved to 
	    x11-plugins/gaim-encryption and is referenced in:
     /etc/portage/package.keywords
.................*****************

I like the idea, but I want the code for these and related
checks broken out into a seperate module.

I've added another feature to make ._cfg file for the package.* files as a result of talking with carpaski.
It means you can update the files by etc-update or some tools.

Bug has been fixed and released in stable portages on or before 2.0.51-r2
