Hi,
I have created an ebuild that build for me a small system.
The RDEPEND has required packages. This works fine and when I emerge this ebuild,
all the "dependencies" are installed.


When I add
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
or
=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.28
Emerge just ignore this dependency and install all the other packages.
Is there any mechanism that portage ignore kernel sources as a dependency?



Regards,
Kfir

My first guess it that you have packages that satisfy those dependencies
inside /etc/portage/profile/package.provided.

If that's not the case, then I'd suggest to file a bug at
bugs.gentoo.org and post emerge --pretend --debug output for the command
that is not pulling in the expected dependencies.

It seems like problem like you stated.
It did grab the kernel, in a middle of new install.
I still haven't traced why this happening.

Is there a flag that I can emerge with, to see the decisions of portage?

Ok,
Deleting the target directory, and running again the ebuild, resulted linux was grabbed by the ebuild.
I don't know why it was like that before.

*If you're using the ebuild command you need to have it clean the directory after you have changed the ebuild (ie, ebuild foobar.ebuild clean). *Otherwise, the system will use the cached ebuild and environment.*

emerge --pretend --tree (and maybe --emptytree and/or --deep depending on
what you're intention is)?

There's also the --debug option. Check the manpage... (and the user list
is likely more appropriate for stuff like this).
