I am *REALLY* new to gentoo linux but I just installed (from the rc4 pre iso |
| 2 |
image), and grabbed the portage tree with rsync then went into |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
cd /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage |
| 6 |
ebuild portage-x.y.z.ebuild merge |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
and now I can't grab packages off of the cd...It looks like it wants all the |
| 9 |
packages in a two level heirarchy. <category_name>/<package_name> |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
mount /mnt/cdrom |
| 12 |
cd /mnt/cdrom/packages/All |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
All > pkgmerge ncftp-3.0.2.tbz2 |
| 16 |

========================================== |

And I tried backing out the new version with a portage-unmerge since, |
| 24 |
portage-maintain said I had two versions on my system. Don't do this. I think my |
| 25 |
portage system is fubar'd up now. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
All these bash scripts kinda smell like install shield for unix. I had to go to |
| 28 |
counseling about my experience with bash. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I like the use of python, I just wish it was more pervasive.. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
What is the best technique to get a working portage back on my system? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Can I make ebuild scripts in python instead of bash? |
| 35 |

Thanks, Sean. |
