About installing other packages

[psic]

I suppose "gnome-extra" being the directory under "Application" on gnome-light desktop. If CORRECT, then I can name it differently such as "gnome-xyz" or even only "xyz"

No, 'gnome-extra' is the category in Portage which brasero is in, if you change it to anything else, you will probably get an error saying brasero can not be found. Once you've done this, I just 'emerge brasero' should work (at least, it's always worked for me).

Hi gruven and psic,

# emerge -pv bonfire

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "bonfire".

# emerge -av bonfire

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "bonfire".

Please advise how to proceed. TIA

emerge -av brasero

Brasero is the new name for Bonfire.

Hi gruven,

Brasero is the new name for Bonfire.

Tks.

# emerge -pv brasero

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "brasero" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-cdr/brasero-0.4.4 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- app-cdr/brasero-0.4.90 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)
# Luis Medinas <metalgod@gentoo.org> (06 Sep 2006)
# Mask Brasero development releases until 0.5.0
# stable is out

- app-cdr/brasero-0.4.2 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Referring to MASKED PACKAGES on man emerge I have to update /etc/portage/package.key-words. No such a file. But I found;

/etc/portage/package.use

X11-libs/cairo X
x11-libs/cairo x
x11-libs/cairo png

What shall I add there. Besides "cairo X" and "cariro x" which of them is correct? I'll delete the incorrect line.

TIA

Referring to MASKED PACKAGES on man emerge I have to update /etc/portage/package.key-words.

Just create a file called package.keywords (this used to be the correct spelling, has it changed?) in /etc/portage and leave package.use alone.

Hi psic,

Oh, "package.key-words" was not typing mistake. Sorry.

$ ls -l /etc/portage/

total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80 Sep 21 08:01 package.use

No such tile.

just do:

echo "app-cdr/brasero ~amd64 >> /etc/portage/package/keywords

and echo will create the file for you.

just do:

echo "app-cdr/brasero ~amd64 >> /etc/portage/package/keywords

and echo will create the file for you.

I think you ment to say /etc/portage/package.keywords

[satimis]

Hi psic

I don't have /etc/portage/package.keywords. I have /etc/portage/package.use

Which file shall I use? Create a new file /etc/portage/package.keywords? Or use the existing file /etc/portage/package.use ?

Tks

Hi psic

Create a new file /etc/portage/package.keywords?

Yes. Just create the file and add the revelant lines to it.
