Not sure of any books, but some documents on the Gentoo Wiki about the |
| 2 |
various projects are helpful. |

I use /etc/portage/package.{use,accept_keywords}/* in a somewhat unusual |
| 5 |
way. For each package |
| 6 |
that needs tuning the USE flags beyond the eselected profile and some |
| 7 |
globals in make.conf, I have |
| 8 |
a file named "<catedory>.<pkg>" (e.g. media-libs.mesa) with a few handling |
| 9 |
some multiples. This lets me |
| 10 |
tune packages in a fine grained manner, and still see which ones I have |
| 11 |
fixed quickly. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
For example: |
| 14 |
In eselect profile: default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
In make.conf: |
| 17 |
(may well repeat some from profile, try to group by functionality) |
| 18 |

The last entry is an empty file to catch the "automagic" changes portage |
| 70 |
may propose so that they can be |
| 71 |
broken out into individual files. package.use/* is similar. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
I have found some wedged cases where there isn't any way to solve it except |
| 74 |
by using |
| 75 |
some "unstable" arch packages (while waiting for them to be stabilized.) |
| 76 |
It may seem unwieldy, but I fnid it much easier to deal with than one big |
| 77 |
file with all the |
| 78 |
packages isted in it. |
| 79 |
For example, in /etc/portage/package.use/app-office.akonadi-server I have: |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
app-office/akonadi-server soprano -sqlite |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
which makes the emerge be quiet about having both mysql and sqlite enabled. |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
Don't be afraid to ask questions, it is an easy cure. |
