Hello all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Just a quick note -- I've just committed install-mask-0.0.1 to gx86. |
| 4 |
You can use it to quickly set and apply INSTALL_MASK setting so that |
| 5 |
you can get rid of the all files you don't want. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The tool is very simple to use. It comes with a few pre-set locations |
| 8 |
so you don't need to type in exact paths. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
To add a path to INSTALL_MASK use -a: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
install-mask -a systemd |
| 13 |
install-mask -a bash-completion |
| 14 |
install-mask -a /foo/bar |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Removal is done through -d, info can be printed using -i (this will |
| 17 |
explain preset names as well). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
It can also generate rebuild list to apply INSTALL_MASK changes. After |
| 20 |
adding new masks, you can do: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
emerge -1v $(install-mask -r) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
to rebuild all affected packages. You can also manually 'rm -r' |
| 25 |
respective paths -- 'install-mask -r' will not complain about |
| 26 |
non-existing files. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Sadly, due to bug #364633 [1] doing the opposite is not possible right |
| 29 |
now. When it's fixed, it will require specifying the paths manually (at |
| 30 |
least in this version): |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
emerge -1v $(install-mask -r bash-completion) |
| 33 |
