Bug 87290 – 'emerge -pDu world' wants to emerge hardened-sources for no reason

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description A. Person 2005-03-30 08:42:38 UTC]

'emerge -pDu world' wants to emerge sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.4.28-r5.  I do have hardened-dev-sources in my world file, but not hardened-sources.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -pDu world
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.4.28-r5

Expected Results:  
not

[Comment 1 Carlos Silva (RETIRED) 2005-03-30 12:18:57 UTC]

That's because the 2005.0 profile.
In 2005.0 profile all the *-dev-* kernel's (including development-sources) will be taken out in substitution of the "no-dev" versions. (vanilla-sources in the case of development-sources)

Can you please confirm if he wants to emerge a 2.6 kernel?

[Comment 2 A. Person 2005-03-30 12:29:55 UTC]

Hi Carlos,

Then if I want a 2.6 hardened kernel I should change my world file to read 'sys-kernel/hardened-sources' and unmask 2.6.11-r1 ?

Yes. But don't edit the world file. Just emerge hardened-sources, recompile the kernel and then emerge -C hardened-dev-sources. If all goes ok you can close this bug :)

I can't seem to get it to emerge 2.6.11-r1 unless I specify hardened-dev-sources.  I have:

=sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6.11-r1

in package.unmask and 'emerge -p hardened-sources' still wants to install:

[ebuild  NS   ] sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.4.28-r5

In /etc/portage/package.unmask just put "sys-kernel/hardened-sources"
after that, confirm that /etc/make.profile links to the right profile:
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 (in case you are using x86)

then try to emerge again.

Nice!  Thank you!  I had the following link:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 36 Sep 15  2004 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/hardened/x86

which has now been updated and emerge world doesn't want to install 2.4 and does want to install these:

[ebuild     U ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/hdparm-5.7-r1

Closing....

no problem :)
