I have copied some excerpts from relevant man pages, and even surrounded the most relevant parts with the word MYEMPHASIS. Not everyone has this patience. From man portage: package.keywords Per-package KEYWORDS. Useful for mixing unstable pack- ages in with a normally stable system or vice versa. This will allow ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to be augmented for a single package. Format: - comment lines begin with # (no inline comments) - one DEPEND atom per line followed by additional KEYWORDS MYEMPHASIS - lines without any KEYWORDS imply unstable host arch /MYEMPHASIS Example: # always use unstable libgd media-libs/libgd ~x86 # only use stable mplayer media-video/mplayer -~x86 # always use unstable netcat net-analyzer/netcat Note: In addition to the normal values from ACCEPT_KEYWORDS package.keywords supports three special tokens: * package is visible if it is stable on any architecture ~* package is visible if it is in testing on any architecture ** package is always visible (KEYWORDS are ignored completely) Additional Note: If you encounter the -* KEYWORD, this indicates that the package is known to be broken on all systems which are not otherwise listed in KEYWORDS. For example, a binary only package which is built for x86 will look like: games-fps/quake3-demo-1.11.ebuild:KEYWORDS=-* x86 If you wish to accept this package anyways, then use one of the other keywords in your package.keywords like this: games-fps/quake3-demo x86 From man 5 ebuild: DEPEND This should contain a list of all packages that are required for the program to com- pile. DEPEND Atoms A depend atom is simply a dependency that is used by portage when calculating relationships between packages. Please note that if the atom has not already been emerged, then the latest version available is matched. Atom Bases The base atom is just a full category/packagename. Hence, these are base atoms: sys-apps/sed sys-libs/zlib net-misc/dhcp Atom Versions It is nice to be more specific and say that only certain versions of atoms are acceptable. Note that versions must be combined with a prefix (see below). Hence you may add a version number as a postfix to the base: sys-apps/sed-4.0.5 sys-libs/zlib-1.1.4-r1 net-misc/dhcp-3.0_p2 Versions are normally made up of two or three numbers separated by peri- ods, such as 1.2 or 4.5.2. This string may be followed by a character such as 1.2a or 4.5.2z. Note that this letter is not meant to indicate alpha, beta, etc... status. For that, use the optional suffix; either _alpha, _beta, _pre (pre-release), _rc (release candidate), or _p (patch). This means for the 3rd pre-release of a package, you would use something like 1.2_pre3. The suffixes here can be arbitrarily chained without limitation. Atom Prefix Operators [ = = = ] Sometimes you want to be able to depend on general versions rather than specifying exact versions all the time. Hence we provide standard bool- ean operators: media-libs/libgd-1.6 =media-libs/libgd-1.6 =media-libs/libgd-1.6 =media-libs/libgd-1.6 media-libs/libgd-1.6 Extended Atom Prefixes [!~] and Postfixes [*] Now to get even fancier, we provide the ability to define blocking pack- ages and version range matching. Also note that these extended pre- fixes/postfixes may be combined in any way with the atom classes defined above. Here are some common examples you may find in the portage tree: !app-text/dos2unix =dev-libs/glib-2* !=net-fs/samba-2* ~net-libs/libnet-1.0.2a !!sys-apps/portage-2.1.4_rc1 ! means block packages from being installed at the same time. !! means block packages from being installed

I'm personally a bit worried about Gentoo overlords sort of pushing this hald thing with reasons like 'Gnome's automounting depends on it'. Where have you got that from? I have not heard of that. I don't use hal either, and I have -hal in /etc/make.conf I started in Linux about 12 years ago and the best environment for my needs at that time (audio recording, 32 channels of live audio, real-time kernels, Ardour, etc.) was fluxbox. Low overhead. Easily customizable. Every time I get fed up with Gnome I go back to fluxbox. Takes a few minutes to build, not hours like Gnome or days like KDE. Not a great environment for my wife and kids, so they get Gnome. I have used Xfce at version 4.4.2 (or 4.4.3, I don't remember) and I think it has a lot of user-friendliness. And it is even similar to GNOME, so GNOME users will feel at home. I think Xubuntu is a good example of a well put together Xfce desktop. I don't agree with every Xubuntu choice for default apps, but it is a great start if you want to build a user-friendly, lightweight, customizable desktop with Xfce plus the right applications. So if you like simplicity and lightweight, but think your wife won't like fluxbox, give Xfce a try. Maybe even fluxbox could be configured and combined with the right applications to be easy to use, but starting with Xfce would probably be much easier (I say probably because I have never performed either of these tasks). On the other hand, maybe you should continue giving GNOME to your wife simply because GNOME is much more common than Xfce and, by knowing GNOME, she is more likely to know how to use another GNU/Linux computer, and if she needs technical support from, say, the ISP, the technicians are more likely to know GNOME and Xfce. For the record, I have moved from Xfce to LXDE because I am a speed freak and also a simplicity freak. More on simplicity below. I hope the future of Linux desktops doesn't look anything like Windows. Sometimes it seems to me we're moving too far that direction too fast. I get that feeling too. When I use Ubuntu and something fails, sometimes I feel it is hard to diagnose and fix the problem. Maybe this is the cost of things being automagic: when it works, great, but when it doesn't work, you've got to be a wizard to fix it. Car analogy: A person with mediocre knowledge of car mechanics can understand how a classical car works, and doesn't complain that the transmission is manual. He can even fix simple problems. A person with good knowledge of car mechanics can even fix more serious problems, because the car is simple, and many of its parts can be serviced by an interested man. But a modern car... With all of its automatic transmission and everything, one does not even need mediocre knowledge to drive it; but to understand how it works is hard. To fix simple problems is harder. To fix serious problems, one needs complex tools and specific knowledge that is almost beyond the reach of the common man. So I think that automagic things often tend to be harder to understand and much harder to fix. But so far, Ubuntu is actually *more* automagic than Windows but more open, easier to understand and easier to fix (Windows is a badly documented black box). And a Gentoo desktop is easier to understand and fix than Ubuntu. Specially if the user selected simple software such as Xfce or, even simpler, LXDE. Of course, you can theorize that at least part of this impression of mine is caused by me being used to my simple no-hal no-nothing LXDE Gentoo desktop and me being unfamiliar with Ubuntu.

[gentoo-user] CMake and empty directories
Hello gentooers!
Maybe some of you can help me with this one. I'm trying to create an ebuild to
test some of our university software on my laptop. It is using cmake as a
build tool. CMakeLists.txt states the following (among others :)
SET(PREFIX ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX})
SET(INCLUDEDIR_B ${PREFIX}/include)
INSTALL(CODE FILE(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${INCLUDEDIR_B}/iwPlugins))
Everything is compiling fine, but the install procedure gets interrupted with a
sandbox violation:
ACCESS DENIED mkdir:/usr/include/iwPlugins
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:92 (FILE):
file problem creating directory: /usr/include/iwPlugins
It seems for me that the variable INCLUDEDIR_B is not expanded to the sandbox
path but /usr/include within the CODE statement. Other INSTALL instructions
like FILES and TARGETS work fine. Is it advisable to have another method of
creating an empty directory?
Thanks in advance

Just a wild guess from a perl-fan: would it work if you escaped that
dollar sign with a backslash? It might move the expansion around a
bit, maybe even to the right place if you're lucky.

You didn't send the important part of the error message, but my guess
would be a circular dependency between a few components - if you try
emerging x11-libs/gtk+ with USE='-cups', you might get a little further
(and can rebuild x11-libs/gtk+ with USE='cups' later, if desired).

This is getting more confusing all the time. I've now gone back and forth between old and new a couple of times and there are other issues showing up with even building the older versions anymore. I cannot even get the older intel driver to build on this morning's pass with the older xorg-server, so I've gone to the new xorg again just so my wife can use the system. It definitely built last evening. 1) With the old xorg I used xorg.conf, keyboard, mouse and intel in make.conf. (I think it was intel and not i810 in make.conf.) I used i810 in xorg.conf. 2) With the new xorg I renamed xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old and used the default automatically provided by xorg and hald. In make.conf I used evdev and intel. 3) I believe hald was enabled in both configurations, but possibly it was turned off with the older xorg. Don't know any way to check for sure. With the old xorg the i810 driver got loaded from xf86-video-intel-2.1.1, at least according to my emerge.log file that was what was on the system prior to recent updates. I know for certain that the driver in memory was i810. With the new xorg the i915 driver got loaded from xf86-video-intel-2.6.3.r1. As far as I know both times the dri flag was set when the above packages were compiled. This is all pretty messed up at this point. for the day anyway I seem to be forced to use the newer xorg-server and mythfrontend still segfaults. I see a couple of messages in different log files, all relating to being unable to pin an xv buffer. The exact message was: (EE) intel(0): Failed to pin xv buffer With another line saying it had segfault. There was no backtrace of any kind. The second post in the following thread sounds similar to my results although he was able to get things working and he's using 1 version newer on xorg-server (1.6) than we are talking about here: http://forums.freebsd.org/archive/index.php/t-3222.html At this point I'm lost and with trading to do and taxes to get out today I'm buried. Maybe more tomorrow when things calm down. Thanks, Mark

Try doing that with USE='-doc' as well, USE=doc can cause lots of

Upgrading to xorg-server-1.5 went relatively smoothly on 2 laptops, but my first attempt on a desktop has been a failure. I get: Backtrace: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 260: dl_open_worker: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args-nsid)-r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! So many packages were upgraded along with xorg-server that I'm not sure what to downgrade. Here are the packages that were upgraded at the same time. Can anyone suggest any to downgrade? I've already downgraded to xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 and mesa-6.5.2-r1. SNIP Should I just mask the installed version of all of these?

You should emerge world *first* to get your current stuff up to date, then add major sections as the next step.

Any weird noises from a hard drive scare me... make a backup as soon as possible. In fact I had a 320GB Seagate drive start making funny noises recently (but in my case it was the click of doom and the drive going offline). However, in case it's just a weird noise caused by it spinning at just the right speed with the heads at just the right place which is causing some vibration, you might try adjusting the acoustic settings on it with hdparm to see if it makes any difference (if supported, and if you dare). Or maybe even re-seat the drive in the case. The fan on top of my case randomly starts vibrating and makes the most awful buzzing noise. If I touch the case in a certain spot it goes away (until I remove my finger). :) I usually just give it a couple whacks and it stops... but that's probably not a good course to take with a hard drive. :)
[gentoo-user] Has RgbPath gone away in new xorg?

I have USE=-hal and left my xorg.conf alone (except for adding Option AutoAddDevices false) I received an error msg stating that RgbPath was invalid in the Files section. I commented it out and all seems well. Should I be putting RgbPath elsewhere or should I omit it? thanks, allan

I have tried reemerging xorg-server with and without hal and it makes no difference. I think the problem is BEFORE even hal comes into the picture. lsusb doesn't report anything being connected either and I think it would even if a GUI was not running. I don't think this is related to xorg-server or KDE and friends. It acts like a kernel problem but I'm booting the same old kernel that I have had for quite a while now. I can't upgrade because the new kernel doesn't like my IDE chipset and gcc doesn't like it much either. I get compile errors that according to google are being fixed. Those two appear to be related. I don't know about the printer... but if you re-emerge libgphoto2 it will (or will tell you how to) generate the udev rules and HAL fdi file for camera support, just in case one or the other of those got hosed in your upgrade/downgrade nightmare.
Re: [gentoo-user] xorg-server-1.5 breaks X, How to downgrade?
Upgrading to xorg-server-1.5 went relatively smoothly on 2 laptops, but my first attempt on a desktop has been a failure. I get: Backtrace: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 260: dl_open_worker: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args-nsid)-r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! So many packages were upgraded along with xorg-server that I'm not sure what to downgrade. Here are the packages that were upgraded at the same time. Can anyone suggest any to downgrade? I've already downgraded to xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 and mesa-6.5.2-r1. SNIP Should I just mask the installed version of all of these? Thanks for any advice. - Grant This is the list I used: # xorg-server masking # =x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r4 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 =x11-proto/printproto-1.0.4 =x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.3 =x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4 That should be a start at least.

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} HD makes weird noise, smartmontools says OK

I guess with your N82 you're just connecting it in mass storage mode and not using gnokii or anything, right? So in that case you don't need any special software such as gphoto2, you can just copy the files as if you were using a card reader. Which, by the way, is why I use a card reader with my camera instead of the stupid PTP interface. :) On my N95 I don't take many pictures, so I used to use bluetooth to send it to my PC... but apparently bluez is all kinds of broken right now, and KDE4 may not have any bluetooth at all as far as I know, so now I'll just e-mail them from the phone or use Share Online to post it to the web.

The latest 96.XX driver was installed which was 96.43.11 You do need: =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.00.00 in /etc/portage/package.mask so that the latest (~x86) 96.XX driver will be installed. I'm not sure if it will work for you, but maybe it's work a try. Thanks for the tip. Do I need to rebuild anything but nvidia-drivers? No, I just added the nvidia drivers line to /etc/portage/package.keywords and emerged the nvidia-drivers. I hope it works for you. -- Regards, Gregory. Gentoo Linux - Penguin Power
