Oh, wait-- I was going to say that I didn't say that (I didn't really |
| 29 |
say anything, I thought), but in fact it turns out I did, in a |
| 30 |
roundabout way (and you helped me, Lares, by clarifying it so that I |
| 31 |
could solve my own eix problem). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
When you wrote your mail, I had eix working, but I had noticed earlier |
| 34 |
yesterday (before your mail and my reply) that all packages available |
| 35 |
were not being displayed-- most notably gentoo-sources packages, where I |
| 36 |
knew 2.6.14-r7 and 2.6.15 to be available, but they would not come up |
| 37 |
under an eix search, no matter what I did. I also noticed that |
| 38 |
update-eix was saying that it was using cdb, which I thought was weird |
| 39 |
because I thought I had disabled it. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
In fact, I had commented out the lines in /etc/portage/modules, but due |
| 42 |
to your mail, I realized that that only affected Portage, and that eix |
| 43 |
had its own setting to use cdb (in /etc/eixrc and ~/.eixrc). Once I |
| 44 |
deleted those, eix stopped using cdb to cache its entries, and the all |
| 45 |
current packages were shown. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
So I was right, in that the problem was cdb (I suppose that since I had |
| 48 |
a database before I started using cdb, it just wasn't getting further |
| 49 |
updated, but since you didn't have a database at all, it just wasn't |
| 50 |
getting populated), but you were the one who actually figured out how to |
| 51 |
disable it. |

Credit where credit is due-- thanks!! |
