Well, that's why you had to run update-eix. If you intend to use eix in the future then you need to run update-eix everytime you did an emerge --sync. A good tip is to use eix-sync instead of emerge --sync. What eix-sync does is copy your eix cache, emerge --sync, update-eix and diff-eix. This gives a beautiful overview of what the emerge --sync changed and keeps the eix cache up to date. > eix -e gentoo-sources > * sys-kernel/gentoo-sources > Available versions: 2.4.28-r9 ~2.4.31-r1 2.6.9-r9 2.6.12-r9 > 2.6.12-r10 ~2.6.13 ~2.6.13-r1 ~2.6.13-r2 2.6.13-r3 > Installed: 2.6.11-r5 2.6.11-r6 2.6.11-r8 2.6.11-r9 > 2.6.11-r11 2.6.12-r6 2.6.12-r9 2.6.12-r10 2.6.13-r3 > Homepage: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/gentoo-dev-sources > Description: Full sources including the gentoo patchset > for the 2.6 kernel tree This is what the same command shows on my system: # eix -e gentoo-sources * sys-kernel/gentoo-sources Available versions: 2.4.31-r1 ~2.4.32-r2 2.6.12-r9 2.6.12-r10 2.6.13-r5 2.6.14-r5 ~2.6.14-r6 ~2.6.14-r7 ~2.6.15 2.6.15-r1 ~2.6.15-r2 ~2.6.15-r3 ~2.6.15-r4 ~2.6.15-r5 Installed: 2.6.15-r1 Homepage: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches Description: Full sources including the gentoo patchset for the 2.6 kernel tree As you see it is quite different. Also each version of gentoo-sources takes up more than 250 MB of space so either your /usr/src takes up more than 2 GB with 9 versions of gentoo-sources or you deleted some of the sources but forgot to tell portage. Perhaps you would like to run: # emerge --prune --verbose --ask gentoo-sources -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
