Hi,
*
I am trying to emerge baselayout-lite using the following command
*
ROOT=/embedded_rootfs emerge embedded_rootfs baselayout-lite-1.0_pre1.ebuild
*
It fails with the following message.
*

*** emerging by path is broken and may not always work!!!
Calculating dependencies -
*** You are emerging a masked package. It is MUCH better to use
*** /etc/portage/package.* to accomplish this. See portage(5) man
*** page for details.

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "
baselayout-lite-1.0_pre1.ebuild" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/baselayout-lite-1.0_pre1 (masked by: missing keyword)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or

Now based on the mailing list and man pages I try to fix it but nothing seem to work.
*
1. I checked that the package is not masked in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
2. /etc/portage/package.keywords/ is a directory and not a file like everybody else is seeing.
3. The KEYWORDS in /usr/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-lite/baselayout-lite-1.0_pre1.ebuild is ""
*
Please help me with this.

Hmm, you dont have to add second "embedded_rootfs". And why are you using
ebuild directly? I would type emerge --sync in my chroot and enjoy full blown
Portage tree (and just type emerge baselayout-lite from anywhere from a
system). Anyway, not important, maybe this is just the way you do.

Yes, this can be like that - from gentoo forum:

"You can either create a file /etc/portage/packages.keywords and put all your
lines in there or you can create a directory /etc/portage/packages.keywords
and create files like /etc/portage/packages.keywords/gentoolkit
and /etc/portage/packages.keywords/gentoo-sources and put your lines into
these files."

Use Portage configuration files:

echo "sys-apps/baselayout-lite **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

or if you got directory adjust it accordingly (I also prefer files).

Then your compilation should go fine.

For additional information, you can change KEYWORDS in an ebuild and recreate
ebuild digests using ebuild command, but this is rarely needed and you should
really know what you are doing.

Hi Syrytczyk,
Â*
The second "embedded_rootfs" was a typo otherwise that was absent at the time of emerging. I will try the options that you told and see how it goes.

baselayout-lite will probably be obsoleted very soon in favor of
baselayout-2 (aka openrc). A project developed with busybox,mdev etc in
mind. I highly suggest you explore that route vs -lite.

That's also what I did. I've attached my notes on what I did. In particular,
I've noted everything (I hope anyway) I did on the embedded rootfs. That
doesn't include emerging/compiling the packages in the development rootfs.
Also, I have only included end results, not experiments with different
versions of packages and patches etc.

I've also included my overlay directory. You'll have to unmask some of those
packages, because I generally used ~x86 versions for overlays. The contents of
the tgz should go into /usr/local/, and you should add a
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to your make.conf.

Most of the patches in the overlays have already been reported to
bugs.gentoo.org or upstream.
