portage questions
Hello,
I'm a new gentoo user and I have some questions about the package system. 1) I got the sources of KDE 3.1.4 on a cover cd. Can I use them with portage ? I mean, to avoid a useless download, is it possible to simply drop the sources from my cd into, for example, /usr/var/portage/distfiles...maybe will I have to zip them into a tar.bz2 file ? Do the sources somehow have to be tweaked to use them with gentoo ? 2) If it's possible, how can I tell portage to first look locally for the files and only get those which are missing on the net ? The system seems great but I do not understand yet how it behaves... |

Here's another one :
Is there a flag that I could use with emerge to know precisely what's installed on my system ? a kind of -ql or -qi for rpm... |
If you have the KDE 3.1.4 sources on a cd, if they are in tar.bz2 format, just copy it all into the /usr/portage/distfiles directory, and do
Code:
emerge -k kde Code:
emerge -k filename |
emerge - kde
Thanks.
To install kde with emerge, how can I tell to install only the required packages (arts, kdelibs, kdebase) and not the other ones. If I do 'emerge kde', I will get the whole stuff. And I want to know exactly what has been installed with wich package... And what's the command to install them later ? |
To install individual packages, just do:
Code:
emerge -kp kde Code:
emerge -k packagename |
