Most of my drives are packed up for a move to cooler climates. Cannot handle Florida humidity/bugs any longer, not to mention the Air Conditioning bills for the cluster work, are ginormous and growing every day. Thank for all the info guys. I've used parts of the code in the past as a basis for bootstrapping micros and had lost somehow my copies of those old files/codes or they are squirreled away in the boxes. THX! James

What 1.3 ebuild are you referring to? The last version in the Gentoo repo can be found at: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-util/rootstrap?id=25d2a73d6cca1e6492fc345b2ef5e56d8d9d7d7a That is everything Gentoo was maintaining for it at the time. SRC_URI only points to debian. > And the home of the 10 year old sourcecode? I'd check Debian for that, per the SRC_URI. -- Rich

I think what you want is there. Thing is, I don't know what I'm looking for exactly. Never heard of this one before. https://packages.qa.debian.org/r/rootstrap.html Hope that helps. Maybe.

[gentoo-user] rootstrap
Hello, I was looking for some old code, "rootstrap", and ran across this:: https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-util/rootstrap/files/digest-rootstrap-0.3.21?hideattic=0=log So what is the best way to find the actual old 1.3 ebuild of rootstrap, associated "files"? And the home of the 10 year old sourcecode? It has been refactored to death, but I want the old original code, by debian devs originally. curiously, James

A wide variety of places to look at:: ebuild kernel userland I'd suggest you start with reading up on 'jemalloc' as a place to start. Hopefully other will 'chime in' on debugging/controlling memory constrained systems and large memory requirements on older/limited resources. hth, James

It will often (but not always) power off on a straight shutdown, but rarely if ever on hibernate. Been happening since a late 4.14 and and still happening on 4.18.8. Race condition? Everything shuts down and the screen shows "[timestamp] Reboot: Power down" - I have to hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds to remove power. Its annoying! BillK
