Accordig to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml, this is not
necessary. When distcc is listened in the FEATURES list
in /etc/make.conf, emerge will use it. Well, should use it.
If you like to use ccache and distcc for stuff you compile manually, add
something like

Usually, yes. If /boot and /root are not members of the LVM volume group it's much simpler to manage and recover from problems. It's possible to put everything on LV's (apparently grub even supports /boot on LV) but it means you have to have an initrd that can perform the LVM initialization from the ramdisk and swap all the critical partitions before starting the real init process. If that initialization goes wrong somehow it's not going to boot at all (no linux single rescue mode) so you're stuck going back to a non-LV boot method (CD, or a rescue partition or something). Once you get the juggling act right the risk is fairly small, but it does add more complexity to the boot process so there's more errors that can break it. So / and /boot will be smallish physical partitions - I use the minimum size for /boot and around 10G for root, and LVM manages anything that gets dynamically large or uncertain like /home/, /opt/, and application directories like /var/lib/mythtv/ or /var/spool/mail/.

Looking at a gentoo box I did not update for a while, I see the man page there tells the default location is /usr/bin/xauth. Okay, now I know this change is responsible. But why aren't forum and this list flooded with people experiencing the same problem as me? Perhaps because most use vanilla ssh to manage servers? I have every now and then used an ssh tunnel to forward VNC connections, but that is exceptional as far as my usage of ssh goes. Well, my setup looks pretty vanilla to me, I did not talk about more sophisticated tunneling stuff. I just have a server and a client, and need to put the XAuthLocation line into the client's config when I want X forwarding. I know found out what happened. The old boxes with working forwarding have a /usr/openwin symlink pointing to /usr/X11R6. This makes xauth being found. It belongs to x11-libs/xview, but the last xview update removed the symlink, now X forwarding fails. Still no idea why you all do NOT have the problem. Alex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] new box: 2 small puzzles
My new machine is working well I'm starting to install the system. So far, there are 2 things I would value advice on. (1) The mobo (ASUS P5K-VM) manual has as default 'Configure SATA as IDE', which I have left as is. However, while the System Rescue CD finds the HDD as '/dev/sda', neither the Gentoo Live CD nor Knoppix sees it: should I change the mobo setting (the HDD is SATA) ? (2) I've been using a 2 GB USB memory stick to transfer material from my present machine to the new one. The space taken up on the stick is much larger than that shown by 'df' or 'du' on either HDD : is there some inefficiency in how data is written to a USB stick ? is there some way of making it as efficient as an HDD ? I've been using the command 'cp -a', which is slow but usually safe. BTW I'm amazed that System Rescue doesn't seem to know re 'pppoe'. I hope to install Gentoo from the copied files w/o using the I/net. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I believe that automake is only needed at build time, not at runtime, so you could unmerge all of them and have the system work. Of course, the next time you emerged practically anything, it would have to build an automake. Also, the reason you have so many installed is that they're not generally compatible with each other. Various packages require different versions in order to build correctly, and a bunch of magic in portage deals with this. On the other hand, you probably won't need all of those versions. If you do: emerge --depclean automake It'll unmerge some of them (at a guess, 1.4_p6 and 1.9.6-r1, if not others). If you include --verbose, it'll tell you what packages wanted each version. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I just tried that, and it distributes fine. I also think it should, unless
there is a MAKEOPTS=${MAKEOPTS} -j1 or something similar in the ebuild.
Do you have logging activated in /etc/conf.d/distccd on the host providing
the distcc service? Is there something in your syslog? There also is
distcc-mon, but I did not have success with that, so I just look at the
logs to see what's wrong.

Is this correct? I have three fast machines, 192.168.1.2 through
192.168.1.4 and a slow machine I want to distribute for at 192.168.1.5.
Here's /etc/conf.d/distccd on the slow one:
# /etc/conf.d/distccd: config file for /etc/init.d/distccd
DISTCCD_OPTS=
# this is the distccd executable
DISTCCD_EXEC=/usr/bin/distccd
# this is where distccd will store its pid file
DISTCCD_PIDFILE=/var/run/distccd/distccd.pid
# set this option to run distccd with extra parameters
# Default port is 3632. For most people the default is okay.
DISTCCD_OPTS=${DISTCCD_OPTS} --port 3632
# Logging
# You can change some logging options here:
# --log-file FILE
# --log-level LEVEL [critical,error,warning, notice, info, debug]
#
# Leaving --log-file blank will log to syslog
# example: --log-file /dev/null --log-level warning
# example: --log-level critical
DISTCCD_OPTS=${DISTCCD_OPTS} --log-level info
--log-file /var/log/distccd
# SECURITY NOTICE:

# for increased security. You can specify an IP to permit connections

# --listen accepts only a single IP
# --allow is now mandatory as of distcc-2.18.
# example: --allow 192.168.0.0/24

#DISTCCD_OPTS=${DISTCCD_OPTS} --listen 192.168.0.2
# set this for niceness
# Default is 15
DISTCCD_NICE=15
And here's what it says on the faster machines:
# /etc/conf.d/distccd: config file for /etc/init.d/distccd
DISTCCD_OPTS=
# this is the distccd executable
DISTCCD_EXEC=/usr/bin/distccd
