Hello. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I installed stage-3 2007.0 and am now trying to configure |
| 4 |
it to my liking. For example, I dislike nano and would like |
| 5 |
to use vim instead. vim (among other editors) provides |
| 6 |
virtual/editor. So I thought, that I could add |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
virtual/editor app-editors/vim |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
to /etc/portage/profile/virtuals. BUT: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
winnb000488 portage # cat /etc/portage/profile/virtuals |
| 13 |
virtual/editor app-editors/vim |
| 14 |
winnb000488 portage # emerge -vpt virtual/editor |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: |
| 17 |
|

Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 19 |
[ebuild N ] virtual/editor-0 0 kB |
| 20 |
[ebuild N ] app-editors/nano-2.0.6 USE="-debug -justify -minimal ncurses nls -slang spell unicode" 1,285 kB |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 1,285 kB |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Why's that? Why is nano being installed to satisfy the |
| 25 |
virtual/editor need? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
When I add |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
virtual/mta mail-mta/esmtp |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
to the virtuals file and try to emerge virtual/mta, esmtp |
| 32 |
should be installed: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
winnb000488 portage # echo virtual/mta mail-mta/esmtp >> profile/virtuals |
| 35 |
winnb000488 portage # emerge -vpt virtual/mta |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |

| 40 |

| 41 |

| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Without that line in the virtuals file, ssmtp is going to be |
| 46 |
installed: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
winnb000488 portage # grep -v esmtp profile/virtuals > /tmp/dummy ; cat /tmp/dummy > profile/virtuals ; rm /tmp/dummy |
| 49 |
winnb000488 portage # cat profile/virtuals |
| 50 |
virtual/editor app-editors/vim |
| 51 |
winnb000488 portage # emerge -vpt virtual/mta |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |

So, what am I doing wrong with regards to virtual/editor? I know |
| 62 |
that I could just install app-editors/vim and be done, but I'd |
| 63 |
like to know why emerge virtual/editor doesn't work the way I expect |
| 64 |
it to work (or why my expectation is wrong). |
