I mean, how did you know wireshark needed gtk, but talking in general... It's quite easy, but sometimes involves some detective work: gentoo linux # emerge -pv wireshark These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N] net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.2 USE=gtk ssl threads -adns -ipv6 -kerberos (-selinux) -snmp 12,068 kB Total size of downloads: 12,068 kB So it has a gtk USE flag. Tofind out what gtk means, you can either look into /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc directly: gentoo linux # cat /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc | grep gtk gtk - Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) The other way is to use one of the tools in e.g. gentoolkit. I like equery: gentoo linux # equery uses -a wireshark [ Searching for packages matching wireshark... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend: Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ Found these USE variables for net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.2 ] U I - - adns : Adds support for the adns DNS client library + + gtk : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) Which nicely displays that wireshark USEs gtk, that the current config for it is to enable it, and that it was compiled with that flag enabled. The gtk flag is very common, it's one of those that when you see it in a spec, you know exactly what it's for and what it means. To truly know what the dev has done with the USE flag, check the .ebuild. IUSE tells you which flags are consulted: IUSE=adns gtk ipv6 snmp ssl kerberos threads selinux The details are in DEPEND or RDEPEND. For wireshark, it's in RDEPEND. From the ebuild: RDEPEND==sys-libs/zlib-1.1.4 gtk? ( =dev-libs/glib-2.0.4 =x11-libs/gtk+-2* x11-libs/pango dev-libs/atk ) !gtk? ( =dev-libs/glib-1.2* ) Which means that if gtk is set, portage will also emerge glib, gtk+, pango and atk. If gtk is not set, portage will check for glib, but for a lesser version. You can then iteratively check each of those packages to find what they do. Because !gtk doesn't depend on any X packages at all, we can conclude that no gtk flag means it will be compiled as a console-only app. There are probably 100s of other ways to find all this out. :-) Some resources where this is documented: man emerge man 5 portage man 5 make.conf man equery alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

On 8/24/06, Arnau Bria [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: just one more question, how do you know what feature provides each use in a package? I mean, how did you know wireshark needed gtk, but talking in general... Well, in generalexperience. And experimentation. And emerge -pv cat-egory/package. Flags like gtk, qt, and X are _generally_ used to add in graphical interfaces. USE=crypt is _generally_ used to add encryption support. USE=hal generally adds some kind of hot-plug device support for desktops. But these are more guidelines that one gains from using and working with Gentoo, and not rules. For example, sys-apps/dbus has qt, qt4, and gtk flags...but there is no GUI for dbus. In fact in the case of sys-apps/dbus, these are used to link against those toolkits for the purpose of emitting events through to the user's desktop. Global useflags are described in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc, but as they are global, and the descriptions short, they don't really tell you a whole lot. Global flags can have very different meanings for different packages, and there is no document that says gtk is required to build the wireshark GUI for wireshark. The situation is a little better for local use flags (/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc), as those flags are specific to a package, so can have a more specific description. So there was not really any good way for you to know that you needed USE=gtk to get the GUI. Even reading the ebuild would have only told you that it causes the configure script to be run with --with-gtk2, whatever that means. However, it is frequently useful to look at what use flags a package supports by doing emerge -pv cat-egory/package. This will give you a list of use flags that are available, and maybe an idea of what they might do in the context of the package. Indeed, this is what I did for wireshark to discover that it had a gtk useflag, and from that, it was obvious to me that it would be required to get the gtk-based GUI. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've got some unpartitioned space and nothing prevents me to do some tests. The only question that I have is how much space does fcache need? The way it works is... you cache the files that are normally loaded up to a point that you choose. We tried just the time from boot to a console and then again from boot to a fully loaded KDE desktop... A rule of thumb we followed would be what ever you have for ram, plus whatever you use for swap. About 1gig for us. The number you end up with will be overkill, but you are assured of enough cache space for all your needed files. Cheers. BTW, the ck-sources, which can be found in the portage comes with several performance related patches. Emerge automatically applies these patches and fcache is among them. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Greylisting vs. reject_rbl_client
Would it be OK to remove the following aliases since I never use them: # Well-known aliases -- these should be filled in! root: grant operator: grant # Standard RFC2142 aliases abuse: grant ftp:grant hostmaster: grant news: grant noc:grant security: grant usenet: grant uucp: grant webmaster: grant www:grant Don't remove the root one, some packages send emails to their owner, and if they are (for example) privileged daemons the message will go to root. It needs to be pointed elsewhere. The others, I am not sure. You probably should have an abuse address and a postmaster address, other than that I am not sure what the custom is or what the rfc's say about what email accounts are expected in a domain. Don't forget that your web server (if you have one) may deliver pages that say to contact a certain mail address in the event of problems, obviously that address should be available. Good call. I'll keep root and abuse and you reminded me to add one for the user my shopping cart program runs as. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

No, the output *is* allowed to change based on -Os, -O2, or -O3. This is the entire point of optimizations, after all. What is *not* allowed to change is the ABI. I should have been clear. I'd meant the output of the compilee, not the compiler, though obviously time-sensitive things will change. -- Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] it stands to reason that they weren't always called the ancients. -- Daniel Jackson -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
