Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox and script block tool/addon

[Dale]

Hi,

I'm checking that as I type.  It may not solve all my problems but it
may certainly help.  Some scripts make one CPU core go to 100% and locks
up the tab the script is running on.  Firefox, to its credit, is sane
enough to allow other tabs to work tho.  At least it doesn't completely
lock up the whole thing.  Good code I guess.  ;-)  Anyway, it does that
for about 30 seconds or so, I assume it times out or something.  Still,
very annoying and worthy of just blocking the script completely. 

It appears clang is disabled.  If I read that correctly, that is the
ideal setting.

Firefox currently has some issues with addons and local storage.
Do you have the use `clang` flag enabled?
This compiles firefox using clang-llvm and fixes a lot of the problems.

I've noticed in the past that some packages do that during the configure
stage.  The only way I know to do those is to emerge the package and
check the configure stage in the log.  Keep in mind, some options won't
cause a fail.  It may continue to build without certain options but not
be able to perform whatever those options add capabilities for.  One
that I used to get a error from is the nvidia drivers package.  On rare
occasions it wanted certain options enabled.  I don't know if it still
does that but would be surprised if it complained when certain drivers
are not enabled. 

There may be a way to use elogviewer to do this, or at least some way to
"scan"/grep the log files there.  I suspect you could view those logs,
figure out a common set of words/phrases and then get a tool to find
them for you.  My grep, xargs and friends abilities are not only
limited, they almost don't exist compared to what I've seen some post on
here.  Maybe that idea will allow someone who is good at them to come up
with ways to accomplish that or give you ideas if you have those skills. 

Hope that helps.

This system has quite an old Gentoo instalation, and some packages show
complaints about kernel features.  So I thought on doing an overall check.

Thanks!

If you use make oldconfig, this shouldn't be necessary as all the checks have 
already been made.

Does it really do pre-merge checks? I thought it only unpacked the kernel 
source.

[gentoo-user] Pre-merge checks

[Francisco Ares]

Hi, All.

I would like to see all pre-merge checks prior to build a new kernel, just
to make sure all kernel configurations needed até satisfied.

I thought on issuing an "emerge -e world" then interrupting the process at
the beguinning of the first package build.  But this looks a weird way of
doing things.

Is there any other way?

Thanks!
Francisco
