Not entirely how you are looking into this, but I generally do the following: 1) Build an install with the packages and config I need 2) Backup the binary packages 3) Backup all the config files I modified (keep a list during "1") 4) During install at remote site, copy the packages and install using the "-k" flag Any modern hosting site allows me to attach an ISO image to boot from. My preference is sysresccd as it is Gentoo based and works quite well together with the install guide. -- Joost signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] stop an emerge (compilation), halt the PC, boot and continue the emerge
Hello !! I have a little question about portage. There are many big softwares like Firefox, LibreOffice. At a certain moment, I need to stop the compilation to halt the PC. But, when I boot up again the PC and I «emerge --resume», it restart the compilation process. Is there a way to not restart the compilation process ? I think that if I enter in the temp directory and I type «make && make install», it will install the software but it will not update portage database. Thank you for your response ! Bye Hogren
Re: [gentoo-user] stop an emerge (compilation), halt the PC, boot and continue the emerge
Usually what I'll do is ctrl-z which pauses emerge, and then I'll run pm-suspend to put the machine to sleep. After I turn it back on again I'll issue fg and emerge will resume. The --resume flag just attempts to continue a failed emerge list.

Bye Hogren Hogren, What I do may be of help, but then again, it may be all wrong and one day the gates of hell may open up and swallow mankind because of what I did, but hey, that's life. There is the FEATURES entry in make.conf, man make.conf. Within this are two options "keeptemp" and "keepwork". I enable them, then the consequences of which is that stuff is not cleaned up. Hence when I rerun the emerge, the "make" within sees the already existing files and skips them, in other words it does as "make" is expected to do. Please bear in mind if you have /var/tmp/portage set up to be a RAM disk of some sort, obviously if you turn your machine off, you'll look the intermediate files, but if you are hard disk based, they will be there when you restart the machine and so when you rerun emerge, the part up until when you killed the emerge originally will be skipped. Hope this helps, Andrew

Zitat von Hogren : But, when I boot up again the PC and I «emerge --resume», it restart the compilation process. Is there a way to not restart the compilation process ? Take a look at Tux on Ice, this should do the trick for you.

I had success in the past using ebuild instead of emerge. Check the man page, briefly emerge is equivalent to the following steps in sequence: $ ebuild fetch $ ebuild unpack $ ebuild compile $ ebuild install $ ebuild qmerge Running 'make' in the temp dir followed by the last two ebuild steps only (install and qmerge) should work. raffaele

[gentoo-user] how to upgrade perl
In my case perl-cleaner was quite useless=( but it has an update since
then, so maybe it will work now.
But if it will be blocking updates you can always do it in some brutal
way=)))
run emerge perl with "--nodeps" and after do the same for every package
that uses perl
you can find their files at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/ and use
something like
portageq owners / /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/*
to find all packages that need reinstall, again if perl-cleaner won't work
simple emerge won't help, because it will try to compile some packages in
wrong order
and I have perl 5.24, using that repo
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
[gentoo]
location = /usr/portage/gentoo
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git
auto-sync = true

Yes you can, it is not officially supported to do this but I have done
it several times (webkits, libreoffice) without problems, what I do is
make a binary package and then install it, you should have set $PKGDIR
in make.conf, here's how I've done it:
You stopped at libreoffice, you restart your computer, then you should
find out what is the exact ebuild you were building, equery can help
you, if it is an upgrade, i.e.:
$ equery which libreoffice
${PORDIR}/app-office/libreoffice/libreoffice-5.1.3.2.ebuild
then you pretend you are emerge, by using the portage user to make the
build resume, make sure $PKGDIR is writable by the portage user:
$ sudo -u portage ebuild\
${PORTDIR}/app-office/libreoffice/libreoffice-5.1.3.2.ebuild \
package
or nesting both commands:
$ sudo -u portage ebuild $(equery w libreoffice) package
this makes all the previous steps needed (prepare, configure ,build,
install) if they haven't been done,
when that is finished you can merge your recently created binary
package by:
$ sudo emerge -av1K =app-office/libreoffice-5.1.3.2
and resume the general upgrade with:
emerge --resume -av --exclude app-office/libreoffice

Your tree is way behind, 5.24 has been out for ages (or maybe you just
need eix-update to be run)
A perl update is a large operation and the devs need to put in a lot of
work before everything is ready. This one was especially troublesome for
me, it took a few days of --sync before it all smoothed out
