I'm no longer willing to maintain sys-boot/gummiboot and this makes it
maintainer-needed. The package is no longer maintained upstream,
and has been merged into systemd. It seems that there are still people
using it without systemd though, so I'm not going to lastrite it
myself, and prefer getting a new maintainer for it.

This was posted on -dev a few days ago.  I'm pretty sure there are some users 
here that use this and so far, no one has stepped up to take it.  If one of the 
users who uses this wants to keep it available, may want to see if you, and 
maybe some other helpers, can help maintain it.  

Just thought I would pass this on in case no one was aware.

P. S.  I'm not sure how this is going to be formatted.  It looks odd at the 
moment.  :/

Well, they took app-backup/duplicity out of the overlay after my last
sync.  The old ebuild refers to dev-python/azure which I cannot find
anywhere and it seems after emerging, I haven't lost anything, so I will
delete the overlay and repatch the azure-backend.py and see what
happens.

Thanks all for your help, gentoo is great.

If the overlay ebuild includes the azure backend, maybe you should stick
with that. Just give the overlay a higher priority
in /etc/portage/repos.conf

Re: [gentoo-user] apache-2.4.20 update doesn't like includes directive

Oh, sorry, I meant that you have to add "access_compat" to the list of
modules already present in APACHE2_MODULES.

Those conflicts are saying that you need "unixd" for php itself, and
eselect-php wants "dir". This is a pretty minimal list:

  APACHE2_MODULES="alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_core\
   authn_file authz_core authz_host authz_user dir\
   include log_config mime rewrite socache_shmcb unixd"

(Add access_compat if you want). You can narrow it down by looking
through each module's documentation:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/

The directives that each one provides are listed over on the right. So
if, for example, you don't use "AuthUserFile" in your config, then it's
safe to turn off mod_authn_file.

The Drupal thing is highly annoying. Their stupid status report ignores
the fact that:

  1. You can achieve the same thing with an htaccess file that isn't
 byte-for-byte identical to the one they ship.

  2. If you run multiple sites, you can implement the restrictions in
 the vhosts and not in htaccess files.

  3. Not every web server uses htaccess files.

I've had to explain to a lot of customers that, yes, their site is
secure, that check was just written by idiots.

I was concerned that my azure backend would disappear because of the
(-azure)* in the use flags, but maybe not.

I eventually posted this on the Gentoo bugzilla, and got pointed at the
cause.  It was the file /etc/portage/bashrc, which I'd put there to
enable patches to be made to package sources on emerging.  This file
came from .

It turns out it did not work properly with EAPI=6, but there is now a
corrected version of /etc/portage/bashrc on that wiki page which does.

There is no mention of azure in the ebuild, but the postinst message says
you should install any necessary backends separately. I only use it with
SFTP and S3 so have no idea what you need to install (if anything) for
azure support.

Yes, I've already experienced this with some old(er) drupal 7 websites.  
Although I've edited their .htaccess files with the new syntax, there are 
umpteen hardcoded php files in there which had the old syntax and/or run 
checks for it.

I tried setting APACHE2_MODULES="access_compat" in make.conf and I got this

[gentoo-user] what goes on with duplicity?

[covici]

Hi.  I  have been using (on advise from someone here),
app-backup/duplicity from the rinaldus overlay, but in the latest update
which I have postponed, gentoo has updated to the same version as the
overlay, but has chosen to have a mandatory use flag of -azure which
would cause my backups not to work, as I am updating to azure storage.
How can I prevent this from happening?  The versions are the same, so is
there a way to mask this off?

Note that I had to patch the back end for azure with something to fix a
typo, so I wonder if this has something to do with the  problem?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If there is a mismatch, the config-script refuses to work correctly.

This is nothing to worry about, as long as the database is not accessible from 
outside.
The "trust" part means it ignores passwords. By default, this is only for 
"localhost"

Listen to this line :)
The init-script uses "pg_ctl" to start/stop postgresql.

See above, use the init-script and you're fine.

If you change the configuration, you can tell Postgresql to reload the new 
config by issuing " /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.5 reload "

Most common config-changes to a running system: adding/removing users/access to 
/etc/postgresql-9.5/pg_hba.conf.

One additional piece of info, by default, it logs to
/var/lib/postgresql/9.5/data/postmaster.log

If you want it to log to a different location or to syslog, you can edit this 
in the file:
/etc/postgresql-9.5/postgresql.conf

Look for the section:
#--
# ERROR REPORTING AND LOGGING
#--

The comments in the file tell you which settings require a restart (of 
postgresql). The ones that don't should come into effect with just the 
"reload" command I mentioned above.

In order for the configuration to actually be able to configure the database to 
handle UTF8, you need to run at least UTF8 or a superset.
I always run my servers in UTF8.

If you will not require non-ISO8859-1 characters, you should be ok with your 
current setup.
