Hi,

transcode is permanently upgrading to transcode-0.6.12-r1 and
downgrading (depending on k3b?) to transcode-0.6.11*. It is a little bit
nasty. Any idea how to avoid this behaviour?

Regards Juergen

Hi Juergen,


try emerging k3b with "USE="-encode" emerge -pv k3b". This will emerge
k3b without encoding functionality. I don't know if you need that, if
not your transcode should be fixed with this.

brgds, Marc

Hi,
Had the same problem, since i'm not using encode with k3b, so can't
break it using transcode-0.12-r1 at first put k3b in OVERLAY dir (mkdir
/usr/local/portage) and copied k3b ebuild dir and later edited k3b
ebuild (replace = with >= or <= as appropriate).
Watch out this could break k3b working using transcode (i assume there
is a reason to put it that way, but maybe not - if this got forgotten to
change, don't know).
Using overlay dir is done in /etc/make.conf OVERLAY dir - uncomment it
to point where you want it.
Or use the above suggestion, it's cleaner if not using transcode.

echo '>=media-video/transcode-0.6.12' > /etc/portage/package.mask

And then any time you notice an upgrade to k3b unmask transcode to see if the
dependency has gone away (or check the ebuild). It's quite a difficult portage
bug causing it. It's partially fixed in the >=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51_pre12.
If you are running _pre12, try moving k3b to the start of your world file.

A complete fix, however, wont be around till at least 2.0.52. I have a fix,
but it's tied in with a partial rewrite which are not yet fully ready to be
integrated with portage. And then there's the testing period...

Jason Stubbs

Or, even better if you don't want to wipe out your file:
echo '>=media-video/transcode-0.6.12' >> /etc/portage/package.mask
^

Enjoy,

I take it you haven't read the RFC on mailing list etiquette? Or perhaps just
not the section about regarding correcting "spelling" mistakes?

His post wasn't solely to point out a spelling error. If someone
copy-pasted your command, he could erase his own package.mask file. He
corrected a command, not a simple spelling error.

Oh come on. As hesitant as I am to stick up for Collins, the
difference between > and >> may be not clear to everybody.

Who was to know that the original was a mistake anyway? Collins
provided a bit of extra information, without a hint of rudeness, and
you had a go at him. I don't think it was necessary.

Yes, it has nothing to do with spelling, but even I didn't read
closely enough, since he suggested making the directory first, so
obviously there would be nothing there to wipe out.

Yes, you're right. I apologise for that. My assumption was that anybody that
new about portage.mask would know the difference between ">" and ">>". From
now on, I'll do my best to not let my 'personal'* life affect my responses.
