There is 'emerge --sync' (or emerge-webrsync) which maintains your copy of the portage tree and then there's 'emerge --update' which actually downloads the source, compiles, and then installs it. Running 'emerge --sync' or 'eix-sync' or 'emerge-webrsync' downloads *very* little (ebuild files, updates to package masks, etc). There's nothing stopping you from running a sync every day but only *updating* packages every month. The two are separate operations.

Specifically, section '3 Installing into the kernel directory (for static installs)' states: This will generate the needed files, and copy them into the kernel sources directory. root # (cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/spl-/work/spl- ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux) root # (cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/zfs-kmod-/work/zfs-kmod-/ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux) After this, you just need to edit the kernel config to enable CONFIG_SPL and CONFIG_ZFS and emerge the zfs binaries. root # mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile root # echo 'sys-fs/zfs -kernel-builtin' /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask root # echo 'sys-fs/zfs kernel-builtin' /etc/portage/package.use root # emerge -1v sys-fs/zfs The echo's only need to be run once, but the emerge needs to be run every time you install a new version of zfs. Do you really need to copy the files into the kernel tree? WTD is a 'static install' in this context? 'emerge zfs' shows: Calculating dependencies... done!

[gentoo-user] no audio on cisco webex
I've got a brand new 64bit install of Gentoo here with Java and Flash and it absolutely will not provide the audio portion of any Cisco Webex meeting. I can see the presentation part w/o issue, I can watch Youtube w/o issue, and I can even do a video call over Skype without issue. Which all leads me to believe that my audio works :) Does anyone now the magic needed to make Webex perform correctly? -- Douglas J Hunley (doug.hun...@gmail.com) Twitter: @hunleyd Web: douglasjhunley.com G+: http://goo.gl/sajR3

[gentoo-user] grub2 on macbook pro
I'm completely stuck on getting Grub2 to work with the EFI on a new macbook pro. I have grub2 emerged w/o issue, and efibootmg as well. I've looked at both the Grub2 wiki and the Macbook wiki and the various directions are just /not/ clicking for me.

Re: [gentoo-user] udev-197 moves from /usr/lib to /lib
On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 9:04 AM, walt w41...@gmail.com wrote: This seems to me like very happy news indeed, but I'm interested in contrary opinions. There's a recent thread discussing how udev-197 breaks lvm2, but that's a trivial fix once you know about it. The problem is caused because many apps including lvm2 install their udev config scripts in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/ (where they never belonged in the first place IMO) and they should instead now go in /lib/udev/rules.d/. All you need to do is to re-emerge all of those packages *after* installing udev-197 and the config scripts will go in the correct place. You should do this before rebooting the machine because lvm2 won't work until its udev scripts are in the correct directory. I dealt with this yesterday and was a little annoyed that the note detailing this didn't include an example of *how* to identify which packages needed re-emerged. I figured it out, but i can forsee a lot of pain on this front from the general user base (everyone on this list shouldn't have a problem with it, imho). Doesn't this seem to fix the problem with booting a separate /usr partition? I was wondering the same thing. It would seem to.. -- Douglas J Hunley (doug.hun...@gmail.com) Twitter: @hunleyd Web: douglasjhunley.com G+: http://goo.gl/sajR3

Duly noted In any case, you are running K8, and on B.G.O. there are some suggestions that the stable version of boost does not play well with newer versions of GCC on 64bit systems. A suggested workaround is to unmask =boost 1.36 and install that. Hrm, I'll check that out.
[gentoo-user] upgrading from 2005 S1 to 2008.0?
Is it possible to upgrade an existing 2005 S1 install to 2008.0? I gave it a quick try and ran into multiple issues. Before I expend hrs trying to make it work, does anyone know if it's an exercise in futility or not?

So I will thumb suck: Is this an install from 2005 that has not been updated since? If so, forget it, reinstall. Is this an install from 2205 that has been updated regularly? If so, what's the problem? Is this some arb install from some arb point in time that is running a 2005 profile? If so, change the profile and emerge world. Some other interpretation that has never crossed my bow? It's the first. The box was installed with 2005 S1 and never subsequently touched and now I've inherited it.

[gentoo-user] small announcement for the community
A while back I setup a small cron job to parse the GLSA feed and post it to Twitter. I've been tweaking it and watching it and it seems stable enough to announce, so I'm sending this email out. If you want to, simply follow @Gentoo_Security and you'll get 'instant' updates of new GLSAs Please note that I'm not trying to step on any toes here, simply give something small back to the community. If anyone from Gentoo wants to take over the account or has an official one that I missed, simply ping me directly and we'll work it out. -- Douglas Just-scratching-my-own-itch Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net)
