Re: [gentoo-user] keeping source
the source tarball is kept in /usr/portage/distfiles (in its tarred release format). You can study the raw (as in unpatched ) source there by untarring the source tarball. as others have said, if you want to study the source with whatever patches the ebuild has applied, use FEATURES=keepwork On Fri, 2005-05-20 at 17:38 -0700, cfk wrote: Pardon the slightly naive question.

[gentoo-user] SOLVED-- Re: how to boot from floppy and install gentoo
Finally I installed gentoo on my laptop IBM ThinkPad X240, which has not internal CD-ROM drive and has external FD drive (not usb one). I used 2 floppy distros hal91 and toms. Why I used 2 distros: 1) hal91 supports bzunzip2 for bunzipping stage and portage files 2) hal91 supports '-p' option which I used for 'tar -xvpf stage3...' 3) toms distro used for creating ext3 fs for root by 'mke2fs -j'. Though hal91 also has mke2fs command '-j' option didn't work for me. 4) at /dev/hda1 I had win98 partition, so I put there stage3, portage and distiles of gentoo 2005.0 5) after chroot I couldn't use env-update. I could use this command after 'source /etc/profile' 6) the rest I followed as in installation hanbook. That's all. Thanks to everybody for helping me. askar On 5/15/05, askar ...

Especially ISC-BIND with ISC-DHCP can do this. I've tried it once, but it messed up my zone-files in bind so I decided to use the simple way: Assign addresses based on the clients' MAC-address via DHCP and keep static entries in my zones. I do not know which of both packages has the more complete description for DDNS (as dhcp names it), but both of them have documentation for this scenario. AFAIK there's one caveat: Normally bind uses authentication between rndc (the commandline tool to control bind's operation) and the daemon, it's not that simple to keep this up with DHCP.

Re: [gentoo-user] Dynamic DNS
Thanks. I'll look at it. On Sat, 21 May 2005, Felix Tiede wrote: Brett I. Holcomb wrote: I want to use dhcp on my home network to assign IP addresses which means I'll need a dynamic DNS. I know I can go to dyndns.org and set up something with them but can I setup my own name server (BIND or whatever) and some program that will work with that to keep the DNS updated? Yes, you can. Especially ISC-BIND with ISC-DHCP can do this. I've tried it once, but it messed up my zone-files in bind so I decided to use the simple way: Assign addresses based on the clients' MAC-address via DHCP and keep static entries in my zones. I do not know which of both packages has the more complete description for DDNS (as dhcp names it), but both of them have documentation for this scenario. AFAIK there's one caveat: Normally bind uses authentication between rndc (the commandline tool to control bind's operation) and the daemon, it's not that simple to keep this up with DHCP. Maybe this has changed in younger versions. HTH, regards Felix -- Brett I. Holcomb [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registered Linux User #188143 Remove R777 to email -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It is not a general optimization flag. It is something that each package's codebase needs to be updated to support. When upstream updates their packages, they will also update whatever build system to specify that flag accordingly. From the GCC manpage: A good explanation of the benefits offered by ensuring ELF symbols have the correct visibility is given by ``How To Write Shared Libraries'' by Ulrich Drepper (which can be found at http://people.redhat.com/~drepper/) - however a superior solution made possible by this option to marking things hidden when the default is public is to make the default hidden and mark things public. This is the norm with DLL's on Windows and with -fvisibility=hidden and __attribute__ ((visibility(default))) instead of __declspec(dllexport) you get almost identical semantics with identical syntax. This is a great boon to those working with cross-platform projects. As I understand this, any shared object that relies on the fact that its symbols will get magically exported while not explicitly exporting them is broken. That said, Portage provides a way to mask broken c(xx)flags for those ebuilds. Yes, but there was not only no requirement up until recently, there was no way to specify visibility. This means that almost everything is broken at the moment. Or alternatively, you can consider telling the compiler that a piece of code does specify it's visibility when it actually doesn't to be a broken action. It's with the latter viewpoint that any bugs filed asking for -fvisibility=hidden to be filtered will be marked INVALID. Regards, Jason Stubbs pgpjJw3dMRM5R.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] Switch from devfs to udev?
Are there any instructions about on how to take an older machine (18 months) and switch it to udev from devfs?

Re: [gentoo-user] Switch from devfs to udev?
Install udev as in portage. Then edit the kernel to remove devfs - recompile and reboot. Job done, it should say using udev at bootup.

Re: [gentoo-user] Switch from devfs to udev?
Tim, Yes, basically correct. I didn't remove devfs, but I did change the opton to tell it not to mount at boot time. That was enough to get rid of some messages that said error calling unlink in GLOBAL I still had one more problem. gdm wouldn't start since my xorg.conf file said /dev/mouse instead of /dev/input/mice. Once I made that last change everythign seemed to come up fine.

I'm trying to get my soundcard working.

The LiveCD coldplugs it as driver=unknown, but that shouldn't stop lspci from finding it. I'm guessing I forgot to compile something into the kernel (2.6.11-gentoo-r9)?

Should I add a script in /etc/init.d for that, or is there something simpler? cheers, I don't think that you can get it done *BEFORE* net.eth0 is run. Gentoo needs to run net.eth0 to set up the network connection. Then it has to query ifconfig to find out what the situation is. I think what you need is to correct resolv.conf if you are at the office. The official Gentoo way to do this would be an init script. I recommend the following... 1) If local is not already in the default runlevel, execute... etc-update add local default 2) In /etc/conf.d/local.start add the following lines if ifconfig eth0 | grep 194\.199\.136\.151 /dev/null ; then cp /etc/resolv.conf.fac /etc/resolv.conf fi *IMPORTANT*.
