Subject: [gentoo-user] Where does Portage store what USE flags are required for binhost packages?
Date: Sun, 08 Dec 2024 15:57:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6755b3c9.050a0220.16f6c0.e448@mx.google.com> (raw)
Greetings,
off and on my attempts to coax Portage into installing a binary package
fail. Current example: "sys-libs/readline-8.2_p13" was installed as bi-
nary some weeks ago, while my current attempts to install "sys-libs/
readline-8.2_p13-r1" as binary are ignored, "emerge" insists in install-
ing it as an ebuild. Same happened with a few more packages.
I downloaded file "Packages" from my binhost mirror which provides quite
some information and helped me specifying the correct USE flags for se-
veral packages. But not for all -- apparently Portage's decicions are
based on different information.
Where should I look?
Sincerely,
Rainer
