Hi Mark. I've got as far as emerge -pv om. Unfortunately I've lost the syntax
for a one shot unmask for a single package. I need to unmask om which is
being masked by -x86 keyword. Nigel.
Although not the most acceptable way, does this not work?
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv om
I had ~amd64 due to the machine I tried it on yesterday.
The problem with the above method is it would five you ~x86 for
anything else it pulls in. A more acceptable way would be to add
media-sound/om ~x86
to /etc/portage/package.keywords. That will give you ~x86 for om and
stable for everything else. If that method runs into some package
that's also masked, then you add that package to package.keywords
until you have what you need.
I'd emerge this now but I'm in the middle of a qt rebuilt to
(hopefully) fix a problem with MythTV.
BTW there are ebuilds for om, omins, and smack, at a link from
http://smack.berlios.de . I havn't sent the URL for the link, as it's a bit
weird.
Cool. I'll take a look.
Thanks,
Mark
