In the gentoo portage its only available amule 2.0.3r4, but i want to install amule 2.1.0. Whats the best approach:
 - Install amule 2.0.3r4 to install all amule dependencies then manually compile and install amule 2.1.0
 - Install all amule 2.1.0 dependencies manually, including amule itself
 - Install amule 2.1.0 using some packet marked as "maskared", or something like that (i am new to gentoo... so, i am not really sure if its possible)
Tks A LOT!

if you just simple want amule-2.1.0 and thats it,
do

#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"  emerge -Dav amule


pick your options maybe and emerge

[thedude0001]

Or (the Gentoo way of doing things) add this line to /etc/portage/package.keywords

Code: [Select]

net-p2p/amule ~x86and them 'emerge -av amule'

The difference? Using stefaneros approach you will also emerge every dependency of amule from the testing (~x86) tree which is maybe not what you want. And if you do a 'emerge -avDu world' after that emerge will downgrade amule back to the stable version (which is 2.0.3-r4 right now). If you use package.keywords you tell portage that you want this package always from the testing tree.

Tks a lot guys! The main reason i changed mandrake 10 for gentoo is that is becoming hard to compile amule on my old and misconfigured mandrake 10. Now i can play with the last amule release again! Thats awesome!
