Available profile symlink targets: |

[1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 * |

|

|

So I am multilib? How/where do I tell, as one reader posted |
| 33 |
that the profile is not where we designate if we are multilib |
| 34 |
or not (news to me). I am open to edumacation on this aspect. |

I just ran a 'depclean' a few days ago. Dozens of my java hacks (overlays) |
| 40 |
and such got cleaned out and my apache-spark ebuild (hack) does not compile |
| 41 |
anymore. No big deal, I get to spend another day learning all the neat |
| 42 |
things I do not know about maven...... |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I Did not even know a cleanup was needed but 'eix-test-obsolete' |
| 45 |
broke me down and kicked me in the teeth. I've got a lot to clean up: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
eix-test-obsolete | wc -l =209 |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
emerge -uDNvp world | wc -l =111 |
| 50 |
emerge -uDNvp world : |
| 51 |
Total: 98 packages (2 upgrades, 2 new, 2 in new slots, 92 reinstalls, 3 |
| 52 |
uninstalls) |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
All I have done so far is run emerge --sync. I previously sync'd up on |
| 56 |
28mar2015 before that. I do not run KDE, I use lxde + lots of java (hacks) |
| 57 |
I refer to 'java(hacks)' because it is mostly a kludge of |
| 58 |
old portage packages and overlays. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
I have automask automated via make.conf. |
| 62 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y --autounmask-write y" |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
But before I follow the path of others: |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
cat package.use | wc -l =314 |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
package.use via automask is getting a bit out of hand, already. |
| 69 |
Somehow, I do not feel good about the devs solution is to |
| 70 |
munge up something I have already been abusing. So, does |
| 71 |
'eix-test-obsolete' have some automated option to clean up |
| 72 |
package.use? I think I need to do this before applying |
| 73 |
the latest (dev_inspired) kludge to my main workstation....? |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
Maybe I should BE the chicken that I am, and wait a few days |
| 76 |
for others to flush this out a bit more? It's already been a |
| 77 |
hell(o)Monday for me.............. |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
On a brighter note, I do feel good that my instincts on kludging |
| 81 |
up a gentoo system, seem to be tracking the devs, quite nicely.... |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
Guidance, humor and spankings are all welcome..... |
