(root@paul:x11-misc)# emerge xeasyconf/xeasyconf-0.1.2.ebuild Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge x11-misc/xeasyconf-0.1.2 to / >>> md5 ;-) xeasyconf-0.1.2.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_unpack, Line 4, Exitcode 0 !!! This is a PPC-only package, sorry
so whats the bug ? you're running on an x86 so the package wont install ... thats whe way its supposed to be. if your bug is 'only x86 ebuilds should be rsync-ed into my local portage database' then i'm pretty sure that the answer is 'too bad, thats what the KEYWORDS variable is for'
While this was not a 'bug' per-se, I hadnt a clue where to report it. And, as I have never encountered a ppc package in my current setup I felt that maybe it should be known and/or moved to it's proper place. Please provide an address to report such things if, in the future, you'd like it to be known. Sorry to 'bother you'. -Paul
heh, can you not take a joke ? there are ppc-only packages in portage, just as there are pleeeeeeeenty of x86- only packages the ppc-only packages get masked while on an x86 so as to prevent users from randomly installing them. in your case, you explicitly specified the ebuild so emerge had no choice but to try
