Re: [gentoo-web-user] Ebuild for Tiny Tiny RSS

It's my first webapp ebuild, and one of my first ebuilds at all, so there may

could have a look at it.
Well, in general it looks good. But still some things could be improved.
Just run repoman full in www-apps/tt-rss directory and fix all
warnings besides ebuild.allmasked. Also why do you dodoc README and then
cp that README in MY_HTDOCSDIR?
dodoc README
cp -R * ${D}/${MY_HTDOCSDIR}
If it's ok, maybe it could be put into the overlay?
BTW, do you want to maintain this package later? If so I'd suggested you
to look at sunrise project:
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki
you'll be able to maintain this package very easily there.

Yes, it's working for me too on my other gentoo box.

[gentoo-user] How to know when a package is due to go stable?
There are several packages that were thrown around on the list, or versions of packages, that I've come across that I figure I might want to take an active interest in. However, to avoid sending my boxes into a tailspin, I'm staying away from installing the still in development versions. What I'd like to know though is if there's some means of knowing if/when, as an example, a newer version of Portage is supposed to be considered stable. If not then I can always keep an eye on the relevant RSS feeds, but it was mostly just curiosity on my part. Thanks either way. James
[gentoo-user] Updating a system....catch-22...
I have a system that I'm just bringing back online after a few months down due to hardware issues and lack of resources to get new hardware. Some things are going okay - I got it past the e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-lib update fiasco (after hosing it and using GRML to get it back up). However, I'm now stuck. emerge world -vuDN won't complete because a package can't use java-config, complaining about python-updater needing to be run. However, python-updater won't run because the of blocks due to software being outdated and masked. So it's a catch-22. I need to install a new java-config and other software before I can get python-updater to run, but the emerge won't go through without running python-updater for at least one package. Any ideas on how to resolve? TIA, Ben

James Quite easy, emerge --sync emerge -up world system, then you know whats gone stable with higher versions. Or, to also cover packages not in world/system, you can do: emerge -p1u `qlist -IC` (Don't omit the 1 from the options or you'll mess up your world file with packages that are purely dependencies.) I wonder why emerge doesn't do something like this by default, actually. Say a package has a serious exploit and an update was made. If the package isn't in world, emerge will never grab the update. That'll teach me to just read the Gentoo documentation. I figured emerge --update --deep world covered system, too.
