Re: [gentoo-user] emerge -pv world output: strange differences after Portage upgrade
On second thought this does make sense. Portage 2.1.2 allows an upgrade within the same slot despite the block. And the reason it doesn't get pulled in by `emerge -pv world` is because dbus isn't in world and the later version isn't required by anything in world. You need to use --update to get direct dependencies upgraded or --deep to get all dependencies upgraded to the latest version. Just to close this entirely dbus-0.62-r2 has had most of it's keywords dropped. This means if you type: # emerge -pv =sys-apps/dbus-0.62-r2 you'll likely get a masked by: missing keyword message. So again bug #48195 explains why dbus-0.62-r2 is able to satisfy dependencies on dbus because it's installed with Portage 2.1.2 but isn't able to satisfy it with Portage 2.1.1 because it's not installable. :) Ok. Now the question is: is the new dbus really installable indeed? I think yes from your explanation, but I want to be triple-sure. (In fact, a self-blocking packages looked very odd to me, but...) (and why has been 0.62-r2 been hard masked so fast?) m. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] SCIRE Project
2007/2/13, Daniel van Ham Colchete [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello everyone Here on my company we are going to start deploying Gentoo Linux on our customers. Every server will have the very same installed packages, the very same use flags, very same cflags, only a few configurations will differ. I would like the deployment and maintenance to be done as easily as possible because this project needs to be scalable to more than 100 servers. Although we are going to install only 10 servers in the beginning, my boss says that I should be prepared for this number to grow. Yesterday I found about the SCIRE project that seems to solve my problems easily. But it seems that the project's development is stopped. Unfortunately, I don't know a thing of Phyton, so I can't help. Do anyone know how is the project going? Are we going to have a production usable release? If so, when? It's not like I'm pushing anything, I just want to know if I can count on it or not. Setting the project aside, I'm thinking about developing my own installer to install a catalyst's stage4 and reboot a working Gentoo. After that I'm thinking about using emerge with binary packages to install updates automatically. What do you think? Will it work? Is it possible to rollback an update if something goes wrong? We're working on womething similar using catalyst [1] to create a custom livecd, quickstart [2] to automate installation of a basic working system from that livecd and puppet (already mentioned in the thread) to automate administration from that point. To solve the problem with incompatible configuration files, everytime I upgrade anything, a perl script will reconfigure the customers server. I recommend to use an existing solution (puppet, cfengine, there are other out there) instead of developing a custom tool to keep configuration up to date.

Dupes are a necessary evil because we can't all be perfect at searching bugzilla but considering them to be good just doesn't make sense in my head. Perhaps I should elaborate a little, my first post didn't make the entire thing clear. I'm not saying dupes are good, I'm saying that dupes are a fact of life and users enter them. They are annoying to be sure, but we can make a choice: a. discard them out of hand and get all upset, or b. note them, be aware that more than one user ran into the bug, see if there's useful info in the dupe report, mark it as a dupe and get back to work. These take up about the same amount of time and a) is completely negative while b) first extracts any information that is to be had. Personally, I prefer b) as it's a nicer attitude.

OK, this sounds better! I posted to the gnupg-users, asking a similar question about gpg-agent. I guess gpg-agent works the same way. Please post back your findings! Well, no responses yet in the gnupg-users list, so there are no findings to post! (Let's wait at least a few hours :)) What happens to the /tmp/ directory socket file after the user logs out? Does it get deleted by the ssh-agent shutdown script? I didn't start using ssh-agent yet, but I tested it from the command line and the directory was removed when I killed the ssh-agent process. I am asking this because I seem to continuously accumulate a load of gpg-agent directories and socket files into my /tmp. Unless of course gpg-agent works I suppose that has to do with the agent(s) working as daemons? I don't like that kind of setup. This is what I intend to (try to) do: - One fixed socket, in some dedicated directory (no /tmp, no random name for the socket) - The socket name as a fixed env variable, set in the shell config files - Hence, no need to eval, etc - No daemon (i.e. no backgrounding). Just a service supervised by daemontools. Logs go to a directory of my choosing and if the agent dies, it is ressurrected, and the socket (with the same name) is recreated (of course, keys must be added, then) - A perl script to interact with the service, just in case. I think this is not difficult to do, unless I grossly misunderstood something essential. (Comments, anyone?) I just don't see the need to run the agent as subordinate of an X session or whatever (please someone correct me if I'm wrong!) And if I don't want the service running when I'm not logged in, I could bring it down with the perl script (in ~/.bash_logout, maybe?) For gpg-agent, I'm not so sure, but I hope it can be done too. on a different principle all together. My start up shutdown scripts are in /etc/X11/Sessions/fluxbox. Are they correct for this task? eval $(gpg-agent --daemon) /usr/bin/startfluxbox kill `echo ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} | cut -d ':' -f 2` Or should I have another line to 'rm -Rf /tmp/gpg-*' ssh-agent /bin/sh When you exit the shell, ssh-agent exits too (after cleaning up). Running the agent as a daemon means you have to tell it when to shut down as well (how would it know when to stop?). Thanks Justin, the ssh-agent may clean up after its own lock-files, but the gpg-agent doesn't. At least not when using my script above.

[gentoo-user] Sync'ing eGroupware and Kontact's calendar
Hi everyone, I decided to try Kontact's connectivity to eGroupware and have come thus far: I can now use the remote eGroupware as a resource in my calendar and can create appointments. Which is fine. But in addition I am looking for a feature that will synchronize the local calendar resource with the remote one. Am I missing something and that should happen automagically? In which case it doesn't, at least for me. I have tried kitchensync and generated a connected pair which I had hoped would work, but the app crashed on me as soon as I pressed the sync button. Multisync can only sync the addressbook... which seems easy enough without - remote contacts were downloaded and added automagically and I can easily choose store in... anyway. I would appreciate any hints as to where I am going wrong. Thanks, Ralph -- For contact details, please see www.ralphholz.de. pgpvMXvY484NY.pgp Description: PGP signature
