installing nethack-qt

[weirdtalk]

So I'm new to sabayon (and gentoo based linux). So far I REALLY like it, much better than kubuntu. Anyway, I'm have some trouble installing nethack-qt. The package is masked because of possible local privilege escalation, but my system is single user so I unmasked the package. I got it installed fine, but it only has tty and X11 support, not qt. I noticed that there is a patch file @ http://packages.gentoo.org/package/games-roguelike/nethack but when I add it to /usr/portage/games-roguelike/nethack/nethack-3.4.3-r1.ebuild I get this error message:

Code: Select all

#emerge nethack

 * IMPORTANT: 4 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.

Calculating dependencies \ * Digest verification failed:
 * /usr/portage/games-roguelike/nethack/nethack-3.4.3-r1.ebuild
 * Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
 * Got: 4630
 * Expected: 4590
... done!


So I can't edit the ebuild directly. I had read somewhere that it is possible to copy the ebuild into a local overlay, but I haven't done anything like that, and I couldn't find a guide that explained it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

-Many thanks!

If you make changes to an ebuild you need to rewrite the manifest.
Consult the Gentoo documentation.

ebuild /path/to/my/package.ebuild manifest

I hope you ARE aware that Entropy (equo command) is the binary packagemanager and you do not want to mix that up too much with Portage (emerge command).

I hope you ARE aware that Entropy (equo command) is the binary packagemanager and you do not want to mix that up too much with Portage (emerge command).

I try to stick to equo as much as possible. Unfortunately (unless I'm mistaken) it doesn't have nethack so I wanted to use emerge instead of compiling the source by hand.

So now it tries to build it but the patch fails

So I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. I could just compile it manually but I would prefer to use emerge in the hope of getting more familiar with the system. What do you recommend?

[wolfden]

I think it is odd that you had a digest failure right off the bat.

Have you

emerge --sync && layman -S lately?

[weirdtalk]

Sync'ed and moved the ebuild into a local overlay but got the same error. I noticed that the patch I'm trying to apply was removed because of bug 301735 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301735 . Is this because the patch wasn't working or just to get rid of qt3 dependences? How would I go about making a new patch if the old one is broke?

Not terrible important, but I'm trying to get smarter in Linux.

Try better ADOM, it worked

omg what i am talking about......
