[gentoo-user] NNTP access

2014-07-14 Thread João Jerónimo

Hello.

Is it possible to post to this mailing list using the NNTP gateway?

Just because it isn't very pratical to have my mailbox filled up with 
posts from a list that I only use occasionally.


Thanks. :-)
JJ

The Gentoo mailing list are available from most Usenet servers using
NNTP.  Just be aware that one Usenet server, bofh.it, munges the
Message-ID: headers so that message linkages are lost.  This means that
replying to the list from an NNTP message can cause a great deal of
confusion.

[gentoo-user] Networkmanager on uclibc Gentoo system x86

2014-07-08 Thread João Jerónimo

Hello.

I installed the uclibc stage3 tarball no a x86 machine (I chose uclibc because 
the PC has only 256 MB of RAM). I'm currently trying to install NetworkManager, 
but I ran into a problem, which is: NetworkManager needs 'policykit' USE flag 
to be applyed to consolekit package. This pulls-in policykit package as a 
dependency of consolekit, which in turn doesn't compile because it calls some 
funcions that uclibc doesn't implement.

Can't I install networkmanager in uclibc systems, then?

Thanks.

JJ

Didn't check the ebuilds, but with what you described. I don't think you can 
use NetworkManager with uclibc.

Apart from that. With only 256MB memory. I would be reluctant to use tools with 
large dependencies.

Thanks.
But... That sucks...
Can you tell me if there is an alternative to NetworkManager?
Or else, can wpa_supplicant connect to networks that are not statically 
configured in config files?
