Re: [gentoo-user] Why gpm?

But I could tell you my case: I installed Gentoo in my dedicated server in EEUU (I am from Spain) and I had to uninstall gpm since I won't use it anymore. I think that, for example, dhcpcd would be more logical to be included than gpm, don't you think so? I suppose the reason is that when setting up a system on the console, it helps to be able to cut-and-paste text with the mouse. While dhcpcd is useful for servers, it isn't needed during initial setup, whereas gpm is, even if it isn't used after that. Ed -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

We're in the process of transitioning from 32-bit Redhat (7 I think) web/app
servers to 64-bit gentoo web/app servers. One concern I've got is from a
security standpoint, normally you don't deploy webservers with development
tools on them. How do you guys handle this question with internet-facing
production servers?
One thought I had was to set up a build server, build the binaries on this
server, and do an emerge of the binaries FROM this server to the production
servers, with gcc and such removed from them. Will this work?
Yes.
From emerge(1):
--buildpkg (-b)
Tells emerge to build binary packages for all ebuilds processed
in addition to actually merging the packages. Useful for main-
tainers or if you administrate multiple Gentoo Linux systems
(build once, emerge tbz2s everywhere). The package will be cre-
ated in the ${PKGDIR}/All directory. An alternative for
already-merged packages is to use quickpkg which creates a tbz2
from the live filesystem.
I would recommend building packages on a build server with --buildpkg,
installing them on a testing server, and once tested re-packaging them
with quickpkg on the testing server to install on the production
servers. (The advantage of quickpkg is it picks up changes to
configuration files.) Of course, you could combine the build and testing
servers onto one machine.

Yeah, true. Besides, when Neil made that comment he was speaking of
the iso which is the 'installation disc' so I think that Neil was
completely consistant.
Running diff -upr --ignore-matching-lines='^# \
$Header:' /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.{0,1} it looks
like the differences between 2005.0 and 2005.1 are:
1. The default virtuals for os-headers and linux-sources have been
removed (possibly preparatory to merging headers and sources?)
2. The minimum baselayout version is 1.11.12-r4, up from 1.9.4-r3
3. The minimum binutils version is 2.15.90.0.3-r4, up from
2.14.90.0.8-r1
Of course, other architectures may have more significant changes...

FWIW, if you haven't worked this out yet :) USE flag masking is controlled by use.mask, which is a standard stackable profile file; as with package.mask, the masked USE flags are generated by combining use.mask from all the directories in the profile stack; but unlike package.mask, which is counteracted by package.unmask, the way to re-enable USE flags is to delete them from the use.mask profile stack by entering them in a later-processed use.mask file with a - before. So, what you would do in this case is: echo -win32codecs /etc/portage/profile/use.mask (make sure /etc/portage/profile exists, yada yada.) Again: the - at the beginning of the line instructs portage to *remove* win32codecs from the list of masked USE flags generated by merging the use.mask profile stack.

Re: [gentoo-user] portage: multiple versions of same package
Generally if two versions of an ebuild have the same SLOT, then they will conflict in some way (normally by installing files with the same name) and so having one installed will break the other.

In the ebuild I was trying to install I changed the SLOTS value to a new number and then typed: ebuild foo.ebuild digest to remake the md5sums.

It requires glib-2.4.2, but most of my current packages require glib-2.6.3 (the latest version). requires glib-2.4.2 sounds unlikely. Presumably you mean that it doesn't compile against glib-2.6.3? If the issue you are coming up against is http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XPL-107 then the bug is (a) obvious and (b) trivial to fix: replace #include glib/g*.h with glib.h. One would think that the versioning would be backwards compatible but this is not the case. I still don't know how to proceed except by building this old version, in a special area that doesn't conflict with the rest of the system (ie. /usr/local). Yup. glib's internal SLOT-like logic means that two 2.x versions will conflict, as its includes and libraries take the name glib-2.0. Installing to /foo with portage is in theory possible, but tricky: assuming the package uses autotools and the ebuild uses econf and emake, you need to mess around with EXTRA_ECONF and EXTRA_EINSTALL, or just hack the ebuild to pass appropriate prefix (see ebuild(5)). You would also have conflicts with the pkgconfig .pc files; first you would need to get it to drop the .pc files in a different place than /usr/lib/pkgconfig, then export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/pc/files when compiling using the new package. What could be easier is setting up a chroot environment and building packages there; glib has AFAICR excellent binary compatibility. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
