I've a question as well, but a different one. |
22 |
|
23 |
Running portage-2.2_rc8 (the latest as of this morning's update), every |
24 |
time I try to emerge -NuD system, it tries to add @system to /var/lib/ |
25 |
portage/world_sets (saying recording it in world favorites file, but it |
26 |
goes in world_sets not in world), regardless of the fact that I don't |
27 |
WANT system included in world and in spite of all the einfos and posts |
28 |
here and etc to the contrary. |
29 |
|
30 |
I like world NOT including system, but it seems at present, portage is |
31 |
trying to FORCE it to include it anyway, despite the einfo and all the |
32 |
messages I've read here to the contrary. I was /wondering/ why despite |
33 |
all the messages to the contrary, it seemed world still included system. |
34 |
After reading this thread, I took another look at the above fine and |
35 |
decided I must have put it there when I first upgraded, and forgotten |
36 |
about it. So I removed it. Next thing I know, it's back! Then I look |
37 |
and sure enough, portage keeps putting it back every time I remove it! |
38 |
That's not nice! |
39 |
|
40 |
Current workaround: Since I don't have anything else I need to list in |
41 |
world_sets I simply symlinked it to /dev/null, so portage writes @system |
42 |
into /dev/null and system and world continue to be separate as they're |
43 |
supposed to be! Now it can write @system into world_sets all day, and it |
44 |
won't change anything. |
