The (1.4) GRP discs need a internect connection too work. Im downloaded the iso 2 times from to mirrors. So i grabbed both versions(the snapshots have different dates, i guessing versions). If i 'emerge -k gnome' a couple of packages will install then orbitz2 is needed. So the internet less install doesnt work. I downloaded the version it wanted myslef and gave it to portage, it install fine and then just wanted more deps. Other peopple on IRC told me to run 'fixpackages' and to use the '-K' flag, it didnt work then. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -k gnome 2. 3. Actual Results: Error about no internet connection Expected Results: Installed GNOME It seems that alot of people that said they posted this as a bug didnt, so im sorry about about some of the threads. I didnt think this would be the kind of thing some one would lie about...
Sounds like some messed up RDEPENDs....
Last time I went through this problem on IRC, the issue was that the binary .tar.bz2's simply werent present on the user's LiveCD. whether this is prevalent over all of the LiveCD's, or limited to one arch (he was using the pentium3 cd's from memory) I can't confirm. But the GNOME team doesnt build the GNOME GRP packages as far as I know (I can be corrected here if I'm wrong though). You can check the packages/All directory for ORBit2*.tar.bz2, but if this package doesnt exist on the LiveCD, portage will need to download and compile as usual.
ORBit2 is in the gnome meta package, i have no idea how it could be missed. Gnome can't do without it. I don't see what we are supposed to do with this, we have never been involved in the creation of GRP (which is questionable in itsself).
foser, it needs you need to make sure that the RDEPEND information is correct. tbz2s just look at RDEPEND, since the packages are already built. And lots of people are building tbz2s these days, for various purposes, not just us for GRP, so you'd better get used to it. (responding to your comment about GRP being "questionable")
Sorry to butt in here. Thanks for standing up for the binary ebuilds/builders Daniel Robbins, thanks alot. You have no idea how much complete crap people are spitting out about this...
drobbins, may i ask how the GRP did not include ORBit2 when it is in gnome-base/gnome-2.*'s RDEPEND ? from gnome-2.2-r2 (chosen at random): RDEPEND="!gnome-base/gnome-core >=x11-wm/metacity-2.4.34 >=gnome-base/gnome-session-2.2.0.2 ... >=gnome-base/ORBit2-2.6 can the bug reporter actually tell us which GRP arch and platform he is using? is the actual ORBit2 tbz2 on the disc?
well 1st, you misread my GRP comment. I meant to say that it is questionable we have never been involved in the creation of GRP (for the GNOME part). But i guess it could be read two ways, i should've been more clear. But as liquidx sais and I also implied in #3 , ORBit2 is there in the RDEPEND (it only takes a second to check) of gnome meta. So i have no clue whatsoever how this can happen, but as said we have very little todo with the actual GRP packaging and lack knowledge of how this takes place. I reassigned this, because i don't know what i'm supposed to do with it, not because i have problem with package users/builders or something (as implied in #5). Can i also add the comment in #5 doesn't belong in bugzilla. In short : as far as i can see everything is well with the GNOME depends.
hmm let's see what comes out of #6 first drobbins, is there not a group of people taking care of GRP and related problems we can assign this to ? Like the omf/scrollkeeper problem (#26320), we can do very little here, only give pointers. We have no influence in any way on how GRP gets produced.
foser, the scripts used to create GRP are in gentoo-src/stager. There is a README.grp file in that directory that will explain how to create the GRP package sets. The file that defines what ends up on CD2 is gentoo-src/stager/grp/x86.pkg.cd2. In this file... ack... I found the problem, I think. There is no line for "gnome". So it looks like some gnome 2 is pulling in most of gnome 2, but ORBit is missing because "gnome" itself isn't listed? I think I removed it when I was having some build problems with some of the gnome2 stuff, and when releng was handed over to avenj, I don't think he knew that gnome was missing and just assumed it was there. And it was forgotten. Yes, looks like gnome is missing: root@ht All # ls gnome* gnome-common-1.2.4-r3.tbz2 gnome-libs-1.4.2.tbz2 gnome-print-0.35-r3.tbz2 gnome-vfs-1.0.5-r3.tbz2 gnome-desktop-2.2.1-r1.tbz2 gnome-mime-data-2.2.0.tbz2 gnome-spell-1.0.4.tbz2 gnome-vfs-2.2.4.tbz2 gnome-icon-theme-1.0.5.tbz2 gnome-panel-1.4.2-r2.tbz2 gnome-themes-2.2.1.tbz2 gnomemm-1.2.3-r1.tbz2 Foser, sorry about pointing towards RDEPEND as the culprit. For now, assign all GRP bugs to me and I'll track them down.
probably fixed now
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
