We have moved ahead to the next step of QA for the ppc Gentoo world. As some |
| 2 |
users may have noticed, we now have ppc KEYWORDS, meaning that if the build |
| 3 |
has not been tested and verified on ppc, it will not have the ppc KEYWORD set |
| 4 |
in it, and it will show up as a masked build. There are ways of installing |
| 5 |
this build, and this will tell you how. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1) you can install any pkg file by directly calling the ebuild file, |
| 8 |
regardless of KEYWORDS. i.e. emerge |
| 9 |
/usr/portage/app-editors/joe/joe-2.9.5.ebuild would install that pkg even if |
| 10 |
there is no ppc keyword set. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
2) This will not work automagically for installing any DEPENDs of this ebuild. |
| 13 |
If there are also DEPENDs that are not keyworded with ppc, you will have to |
| 14 |
manually install them first using the method above. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
3) **VERY IMPORTANT** : In order to help us ppc developers get more things |
| 17 |
tested and keyworded, if you do happen to use this method and the build(s) |
| 18 |
you installed work, please please report it either by emailing the |
| 19 |
gentooppc-dev@g.o list with the report of the exact build(s) you |
| 20 |
installed, or talking to a ppc dev in IRC, at irc.openprojects.net in |
| 21 |
#gentoo-ppc. The same goes for any verified non-working builds (that don't |
| 22 |
already have -ppc in them) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The more builds we can get tested and added , the better things wil be for |
| 25 |
every ppc user and there are still many untested builds, we add ppc keywords |
| 26 |
daily. Thanks for everyone's help to make Gentoo PPC the best distro it can |
| 27 |
be. |
