Hello all, |
| 2 |
I'm trying to emerge armagetron on my Gentoo (x86 stable). It seems masked |
| 3 |
(with the ~x86 keyword). I have no problems with unstable packages, but |
| 4 |
I've got very much unstable packages, thus I don't want to emerge this |
| 5 |
unstable, too. But there's a "comment" on the masking, a second way: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
--begin quoting-- |
| 8 |
linux-zc4n / # emerge armagetronad |
| 9 |
Calculating dependencies \ |
| 10 |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "armagetronad" have been masked. |
| 11 |
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your |
| 12 |
request: |
| 13 |
- games-action/armagetronad-0.2.7.1-r1 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 14 |
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: |
| 15 |
# Chris Gianelloni <wolf31o2@g.o> (15 Jan 2007) |
| 16 |
# The Armagetron Advanced packages in Gentoo's repository are obsolete and |
| 17 |
will |
| 18 |
# likely remain masked until they can be revisted to be maintainable. Until |
| 19 |
# that time, the upstream team has created their own overlay: |
| 20 |
# emerge -a layman |
| 21 |
# layman -ka armagetron |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or |
| 25 |
refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
linux-zc4n / # |
| 28 |
--end quoting-- |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
My question is now, where can I find this overlay? I've tried the above |
| 31 |
commands, but last didn't work: |
| 32 |
--begin quoting-- |
| 33 |
linux-zc4n / # layman -ka armagetron |
| 34 |
* Overlay "armagetron" does not exist! |
| 35 |
linux-zc4n / # |
| 36 |
--end quoting-- (Sorry for my "art of quoting", I'm new here, and don't |
| 37 |
quite know how to quote!) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Does anyone know the reason for failing? |
| 40 |
I thank you for your attention and I'm happy to read your replies. |
