The other day I decided to upgrade the mythfrontend on my system. I |
6 |
decided to set "media-tv/mythfrontend ~x86" in |
7 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords . This is the same system that lost the |
8 |
package database due to a corrupted fs under /var. So 'emerge -pv |
9 |
mythfrontend' says I need to emerge a whole bunch of stuff (~30 |
10 |
packages). I decide to consider it part of rebuilding the database. So |
11 |
I let it run. |
12 |
|
13 |
Here is the problem. I expected it to emerge the dependencies with no |
14 |
keywords, and then emerge mythfrontend with ~x86. This did not happen. |
15 |
Now there is a whole bunch of stuff on my system that needs downgraded. |
16 |
|
17 |
This behavior differs from 'emerge -uDpv world' in that only packages |
18 |
listed in package.keywords will be emerged with ~x86. There is no |
19 |
inheritance there. |
20 |
|
21 |
So the question, is this the expected behavior of package.keywords? |
22 |
Should dependencies of a listed package inherit it's keyword? |
23 |

TIA, |
