[editovat] POPIS

emerge rozhranie príkazového riadku pre systém Portage. V prvom rade je určené na inštaláciu balíčkov, emerge automaticky kontroluje závislosti pre vybraný balíček. emerge tiež môže aktualizovať strom Portage, vytvárať nové balíčky a aktualizovať ich. emerge taktiež výborne zvláda aktualizáciu už nainštalovaných balíčkov na novšiu verziu. Pracuje jednak s binárnymi balíčkami ako aj a balíčkami kompilovanými zo zdrojových súborov a je možné použiť ho pre tvorbu binárnych balíčkov.

[editovat] EBUILDY, TBZ2 SÚBORY, TRIEDY A ZÁVISLOSTI

emerge hlavne inštaluje balíčky. Nainštalovať balíček je možné jedným zo štyroch spôsobov: ebuildom, tbz2 súborom, triedou, alebo závislosťou.

ebuild

Ebuild musí byť, minimálne, platné adresárové meno Portage balíčku bez verzie a kategórie, ako napríklad portage alebo python. Katogória môže byť pridaná navyše, ako napríklad sys-apps/portage alebo =python-2.2.1-r2. emerge ignoruje koncové lomítko, takže môže byť bez problémov použité dopĺňanie názvov súborov. Ebuild môže byť tiež meno súboru, ako napríklad /usr/portage/app-admin/python/python-2.2.1-r2.ebuild.

Pozor: Súčasná verzia nefunguje správne a preto by sa možnosť emerge /cesta/k/ebuildu nemala používať.

tbz2 súbor

tbz2 súbor musí byŤ platný .tbz2 archív vytvorený pomocou ebuild <package>-<version>.ebuild package alebo pomocou emerge --buildpkg [category/]<package> alebo quickpkg /var/db/pkg/<category>/<package>.

trieda

Trieda vhodná skratka pre veľkú skupinu balíčkov. V súčasnosti sú podporované tve triedy: system a world'. Do triedy system spadajú balíčky, ktoré sú považované za nutné pre správny beh systému. Trieda world obsahuje všetky balíčky v systéme, a tie ktoré sú vypísané v súbore /var/lib/portage/world. [Pozri SÚBORY pre viac informácií.] Triedy sa vo všeobecnosti používajú v spojení s --update.

závislosť

Závislosť popisuje omedzenia pre balíček, ktorý chcete inštalovať. Pre ďalšie detaily o 'atómoch' pozri portage(5). Napríklad: >=dev-lang/python-2.2.1-r2 zadpovedá poslednej dostupnej verzii python'u väčšej alebo rovnej verzii 2.2.1-r2. Podobne, <dev-lang/python-2.0 zodpovedá poslednej dostupnej verzii python'u pred verziou 2.0.

Pozor: V mnohých verziách shell'u budete musieť odeskejpovať znaky ako '<' a '=' aby ste problém odeskejpovania znakov obyšli je dobré okolo závislosti písať jednoduché (známe tiež ako apostrof) ''' alebo dvojité uvodzovky '"'.

[editovat] AKCIE

No action

If no action is specified, the action is to merge in the specified packages, satisfying any dependencies that they may have. The arguments can be ebuilds, tbz2s, sets, or dependencies. Note that you need to use the --usepkg option if you want to install a tbz2. The packages are added to the world file at the end, so that they are considered for later updating.

--clean (-c)

Cleans the system by removing packages that will not affect the functionality of the system. The arguments can be ebuilds, sets, or dependencies. For example, emerge clean binutils cleans out old versions of binutils; emerge --clean net-www/mozilla-0.9.9-r2 cleans out that specific version of Mozilla. This is generally safe to use. Note that --clean does not remove unslotted packages.

--config

Run package specific actions needed to be executed after the emerge process has completed. This usually entails configuration file setup or other similar setups that the user may wish to run.

--depclean

Determines all packages installed on the system that have no explicit reason for being there. emerge generates a list of packages which it expects to be installed by checking the system package list and the world file. It then compares that list to the list of packages which are actually installed; the differences are listed as unnecessary packages and then unmerged after a short timeout. WARNING: Removing some packages may cause packages which link to the removed package to stop working and complain about missing libraries. Re-emerge the complaining package to fix this issue. Note that changes in USE flags can drastically affect the output of --depclean.

--help (-h)

Displays help information for emerge. Adding one of the additional arguments listed above will give you more specific help information on that subject. The internal emerge help documentation is updated more frequently than this man page; check it out if you are having problems that this man page does not help resolve.

--info

Produces a list of information to include in bug reports which aids the developers when fixing the reported problem. Please include this information when submitting a bug report. Expanded output can be obtained with the --verbose option.

--metadata

Causes portage to process all the metacache files as is normally done on the tail end of an rsync update using emerge --sync. The processing creates the cache database that portage uses for pre-parsed lookups of package data.

--prune (-P)

WARNING: This action can remove important packages! Tries to remove all but the last version installed. Since the command currently does not handle multiple versions of the same package properly, beware! This does not check dependencies, so it may also remove packages necessary for the proper operation of your system. Use --clean instead unless you really know what you're doing. Its arguments can be ebuilds, sets, or dependencies -- see --clean above for examples. You have been warned!

--regen

Causes portage to check and update the dependency cache of all ebuilds in the portage tree. The cache is used to speed up searches and the building of dependency trees. This command is not recommended for rsync users as rsync updates the cache using server-side caches. If you do not know the differences between a 'rsync user' and some other user, then you are a 'rsync user' :). Rsync users should simply run emerge --sync to regenerate the cache. After a portage update, rsync users may find it convenient to run emerge --metadata to rebuild the cache as portage does at the end of a sync operation.

--resume

Resumes the last merge operation. Please note that this operation will only return an error on failure. If there is nothing for portage to do, then portage will exit with a message and a success condition.

--search (-s)

Searches for matches of the supplied string in the portage tree. The --search string is a regular expression. For example, emerge --search "^kde" searches for any package that starts with "kde"; emerge --search "gcc$" searches for any package that ends with "gcc"; emerge --search "office" searches for any package that contains the word "office". If you want to search the package descriptions as well, use the --searchdesc action.

--searchdesc (-S)

Matches the search string against the description field as well as the package name. Take caution as the descriptions are also matched as regular expressions.

--sync

Initiates a portage tree update with one of the rsync.gentoo.org mirrors. Note that any changes you have made to the portage tree will be erased. Except for special circumstances, this uses rsync to do the update. See make.conf(5)'s description of PORTDIR_OVERLAY for a method to avoid deletions.

--unmerge (-C)

WARNING: This action can remove important packages! Removes all matching packages. This does no checking of dependencies, so it may remove packages necessary for the proper operation of your system. Its arguments can be ebuilds, sets, or dependencies -- see --clean above for examples.

--update (-u)

Updates packages to the best version available, which may not always be the highest version number due to masking for testing and development. This will also update direct dependencies which may not be what you want. In general, use this option only in combination with the world or system target.

--version (-V)

Displays the version number of emerge.

[editovat] OPTIONS

--alphabetical

When displaying USE and other flag output, combines the enabled and disabled lists into one list and sorts the whole list alphabetically.

--ask (-a)

Before performing the merge, display what ebuilds and tbz2s will be installed, in the same format as when using --pretend; then ask whether to continue with the merge or abort. Using --ask is more efficient than using --pretend and then executing the same command without --pretend, as dependencies will only need to be calculated once. WARNING: If the "Enter" key is pressed at the prompt (with no other input), it is interpreted as acceptance of the first choice. Note that the input buffer is not cleared prior to the prompt, so an accidental press of the "Enter" key at any time prior to the prompt will be interpreted as a choice!

--buildpkg (-b)

Tells emerge to build binary packages for all ebuilds processed in addition to actually merging the packages. Useful for maintainers or if you administrate multiple Gentoo Linux systems (build once, emerge tbz2s everywhere). The package will be created in the ${PKGDIR}/All directory. An alternative for already-merged packages is to use quickpkg which creates a tbz2 from the live filesystem.

--buildpkgonly (-B)

Creates binary packages for all ebuilds processed without actually merging the packages. This comes with the caveat that all build-time dependencies must already be emerged on the system.

--changelog (-l)

Use this in conjunction with the --pretend option. This will show the ChangeLog entries for all the packages that will be upgraded.

--columns

Used alongside --pretend to cause the package name, new version, and old version to be displayed in an aligned format for easy cut-n-paste.

--debug (-d)

Tells emerge to run the emerge command in --debug mode. In this mode the bash build environment will run with the -x option, causing it to output verbose debugging information to stdout. --debug is great for finding bash syntax errors.

--deep (-D)

When used in conjunction with --update, this flag forces emerge to consider the entire dependency tree of packages, instead of checking only the immediate dependencies of the packages. As an example, this catches updates in libraries that are not directly listed in the dependencies of a package.

--emptytree (-e)

Reinstalls all world packages and their dependencies to the current USE specifications while differing from the installed set of packages as little as possible. You should run with --pretend first to make sure the result is what you expect.

--fetchonly (-f)

Instead of doing any package building, just perform fetches for all packages (the main package as well as all dependencies).

--fetch-all-uri (-F)

Instead of doing any package building, just perform fetches for all packages (the main package as well as all dependencies), grabbing all potential files.

--getbinpkg (-g)

Using the server and location defined in PORTAGE_BINHOST (see make.conf(5)), portage will download the information from each binary package found and it will use that information to help build the dependency list. This option implies -k. (Use -gK for binary-only merging.)

--getbinpkgonly (-G)

This option is identical to -g, as above, except it will not use ANY information from the local machine. All binaries will be downloaded from the remote server without consulting packages existing in the local packages directory.

--ignore-default-opts

Causes EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS (see make.conf(5)) to be ignored.

--newuse (-N)

Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE flags have changed since compilation. An asterisk marks when a USE flag has changed since the package was compiled.

--nocolor

Suppresses all coloring of portage's output.

--noconfmem

Causes portage to disregard merge records indicating that a config file inside of a CONFIG_PROTECT directory has been merged already. Portage will normally merge those files only once to prevent the user from dealing with the same config multiple times. This flag will cause the file to always be merged.

--nodeps (-O)

Merges specified packages without merging any dependencies. Note that the build may fail if the dependencies aren't satisfied.

--noreplace (-n)

Skips the packages specified on the command-line that have already been installed. Without this option, any packages, ebuilds, or deps you specify on the command-line *will* cause Portage to remerge the package, even if it is already installed. Note that Portage will not remerge dependencies by default.

--nospinner

Disables the spinner for the session. The spinner is active when the terminal device is determined to be a TTY. This flag disables it regardless.

--oneshot (-1)

Emerge as normal, but do not add the packages to the world profile for later updating.

--onlydeps (-o)

Only merge (or pretend to merge) the dependencies of the packages specified, not the packages themselves.

--pretend (-p)

Instead of actually performing the merge, simply display what *would* have been installed if --pretend weren't used. Using --pretend is strongly recommended before installing an unfamiliar package. In the printout:

N = new (not yet installed)
S = new SLOT installation (side-by-side versions)
U = updating (to another version)
D = downgrading (best version seems lower)
R = replacing (remerging same version))
F = fetch restricted (must be manually downloaded)
f = fetch restricted (already downloaded)
B = blocked by an already installed package

--quiet (-q)

Results may vary, but the general outcome is a reduced or condensed output from portage's displays.

--skipfirst

This option is only valid when used with --resume. It removes the first package in the resume list so that a merge may continue in the presence of an uncorrectable or inconsequential error. This should only be used in cases where skipping the package will not result in failed dependencies.

--tree (-t)

Shows the dependency tree for the given target by indenting dependencies. This is only really useful in combination with --emptytree or --update and --deep.

--usepkg (-k)

Tells emerge to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) if they are available, thus possibly avoiding some time-consuming compiles. This option is useful for CD installs; you can export PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom/packages and then use this option to have emerge "pull" binary packages from the CD in order to satisfy dependencies.

--usepkgonly (-K)

Tells emerge to only use binary packages (from $PKGDIR). All the binary packages must be available at the time of dependency calculation or emerge will simply abort. Portage does not use $PORTDIR when calculating dependency information so all masking information is ignored.

--verbose (-v)

Tell emerge to run in verbose mode. Currently this flag causes emerge to print out GNU info errors, if any, and to show the USE flags that will be used for each package when pretending.

[editovat] VOĽBY PROSTREDIA

ROOT = [path]

Use ROOT to specify the target root filesystem to be used for merging packages or ebuilds.
Defaults to /.

PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT = [path]

Use PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT to specify the location for various portage configuration files (see FILES for a detailed list).
Defaults to /.

[editovat] VÝSTUP

When utilizing emerge with the --pretend and --verbose flags, the output may be a little hard to understand at first. This section explains the abbreviations.

[blocks B ] app-text/dos2unix (from pkg app-text/hd2u-0.8.0)

Dos2unix is Blocking hd2u from being emerged. Blockers are defined when two packages will clobber each others files, or otherwise cause some form of breakage in your system. However, blockers usually do not need to be simultaneously emerged because they usually provide the same functionality.

[ebuild N ] app-games/qstat-25c

Qstat is New to your system, and will be emerged for the first time.

[ebuild NS ] dev-libs/glib-2.4.7

You already have a version of glib installed, but a 'new' version in a different SLOT is available.

[ebuild R ] sys-apps/sed-4.0.5

Sed 4.0.5 has already been emerged, but if you run the command, then portage will Re-emerge the specified package (sed in this case).

[ebuild F ] media-video/realplayer-8-r6

The realplayer package requires that you Fetch the sources manually. When you attempt to emerge the package, if the sources are not found, then portage will halt and you will be provided with instructions on how to download the required files.

[ebuild f ] media-video/realplayer-8-r6

The realplayer package's files are already downloaded.

[ebuild U ] net-fs/samba-2.2.8_pre1 [2.2.7a]

Samba 2.2.7a has already been emerged and can be Updated to version 2.2.8_pre1.

[ebuild UD] media-libs/libgd-1.8.4 [2.0.11]

Libgd 2.0.11 is already emerged, but if you run the command, then portage will Downgrade to version 1.8.4 for you.
This may occur if a newer version of a package has been masked because it is broken or it creates a security risk on your system and a fix has not been released yet.
Another reason this may occur is if a package you are trying to emerge requires an older version of a package in order to emerge successfully. In this case, libgd 2.x is incompatible with libgd 1.x. This means that packages that were created with libgd 1.x will not compile with 2.x and must downgrade libgd first before they can emerge.

[ebuild U ] sys-devel/distcc-2.16 [2.13-r1] USE=ipv6* -gtk -qt%

Here we see that the make.conf variable USE affects how this package is built. In this example, ipv6 optional support is enabled and both gtk and qt support are disabled. The asterisk following ipv6 indicates that ipv6 support was disabled the last time this packages was installed. The percent sign following qt indicates that the qt option has been added to the package since it was last installed.

*Note: Flags that haven't changed since the last install are only displayed when you use the --pretend and --verbose options. Using the --quiet option will prevent all information from being displayed.

[editovat] POZNÁMKY

You should almost always precede any package install or update attempt with a --pretend install or update. This lets you see how much will be done, and shows you any blocking packages that you will have to rectify. This goes doubly so for the system and world sets, which can update a large number of packages if the portage tree has been particularly active.

You also want to typically use --update, which ignores packages that are already fully updated but upgrades those that are not.

When you install a package with uninstalled dependencies and do not explicitly state those dependencies in the list of parameters, they will not be added to the world file. If you want them to be detected for world updates, make sure to explicitly list them as parameters to emerge.

USE variables may be specified on the command line to override those specified in the default locations, letting you avoid using some dependencies you may not want to have. USE flags specified on the command line are NOT remembered. For example, USE="-X -gnome" emerge mc will emerge mc with those USE settings. If you want those USE settings to be more permanent, you can put them in /etc/portage/package.use instead.

If emerge --update system or emerge --update world fails with an error message, it may be that an ebuild uses some newer feature not present in this version of emerge. You can use emerge --update portage to upgrade to the lastest version, which should support any necessary new features.

[editovat] MASKOVANÉ BALÍČKY

NOTE: Please use caution when using development packages. Problems and bugs resulting from misusing masked packages drains Gentoo developer time. Please be sure you are capable of handling any problems that may ensue.

Masks in portage provide three primary functions: they allow a testing period where the packages can be used in live machines; they prevent the use of a package when it will fail; and they mask existing packages that are broken or could pose a security risk. Masking can be done by two methods: package.mask and KEYWORDS. Read below to find out how to unmask in either case. Also note that if you give emerge an ebuild, then all forms of masking will be ignored and emerge will attempt to emerge the package.

package.mask

The package.mask file primarily blocks the use of packages that cause problems or are known to have issues on different systems. It resides in /usr/portage/profiles.

KEYWORDS

The KEYWORDS variable in an ebuild file is also used for masking a package still in testing. There are architecture-specific keywords for each package that let portage know which systems are compatible with the package. Packages which compile on an architecture, but have not been proven to be "stable", are masked with a tilde (~) in front of the architecture name. emerge examines the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS environment variable to allow or disallow the emerging of a package masked by KEYWORDS. To inform emerge that it should build these 'testing' versions of packages, you should update your /etc/portage/package.keywords file to list the packages you want the
