[gentoo-user] digraph error while trying to emerge

weeks ago and I hoped it would go away by itself.

Ah, never mind, I had previously set bcprov ~x86 to install something
or other. Commenting that out fixed this.

OK, this sounds better! I posted to the gnupg-users, asking a similar
question about gpg-agent. I guess gpg-agent works the same way.
Please post back your findings!
Well, no responses yet in the gnupg-users list, so there are no findings
to post! (Let's wait at least a few hours :))
What happens to the /tmp/ directory socket file after the user logs out?
Does it get deleted by the ssh-agent shutdown script?
I didn't start using ssh-agent yet, but I tested it from the command
line and the directory was removed when I killed the ssh-agent process.
I am asking this because I seem to continuously accumulate a load of gpg-agent
directories and socket files into my /tmp. Unless of course gpg-agent works
I suppose that has to do with the agent(s) working as daemons? I don't
like that kind of setup. This is what I intend to (try to) do:
- One fixed socket, in some dedicated directory (no /tmp, no random name
for the socket)
- The socket name as a fixed env variable, set in the shell config files
- Hence, no need to eval, etc
- No daemon (i.e. no backgrounding). Just a service supervised by
daemontools. Logs go to a directory of my choosing and if the agent
dies, it is ressurrected, and the socket (with the same name) is
recreated (of course, keys must be added, then)
- A perl script to interact with the service, just in case.
I think this is not difficult to do, unless I grossly misunderstood
something essential. (Comments, anyone?) I just don't see the need to
run the agent as subordinate of an X session or whatever (please someone
correct me if I'm wrong!) And if I don't want the service running when
I'm not logged in, I could bring it down with the perl script (in
~/.bash_logout, maybe?)
For gpg-agent, I'm not so sure, but I hope it can be done too.
on a different principle all together. My start up shutdown scripts are
in /etc/X11/Sessions/fluxbox. Are they correct for this task?
eval $(gpg-agent --daemon)
/usr/bin/startfluxbox
kill `echo ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} | cut -d ':' -f 2`
Or should I have another line to 'rm -Rf /tmp/gpg-*'
ssh-agent /bin/sh
When you exit the shell, ssh-agent exits too (after cleaning up).
Running the agent as a daemon means you have to tell it when to shut
down as well (how would it know when to stop?).

Could be my fault. I had set up ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to ~x86. That's the first problem. Unless you want to deal with explosions, don't set your entire system to be unstable. That's a recipe for problems. Leave the global setting at stable. Then, if you need an unstable version use /etc/portage/package.keywords to set ~x86 for just the package you want to install. Today in the morning I started up from scratch. That's about an hour of editing files, making file systems and so on, 1,5 hours of bootstrap.sh. ``emerge -p --emptytree system'' showed me, that it will install python-fchksum with the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 too. So far, so good. Yesterday I got a portage snapshot 20050907, today I got a portage snapshot 20050908. Maybe the bug is fixed. So I started emerge system. At least it didn't install two versions of gcc. That saved some time. It ran 2,5 hours and ... ... kabom ... Unfortunately I can't tell you if the python-fchksum failure has gone away. I didn't reach this ebuild :( I suggest starting from a stage3 build. I've installed many stage 3 builds and it nearly always works with no breakage. Once your minimal system up and running (always go for minimal on the initial emerge, then boot into your system, then emerge more) then you can easily do an emptytree emerge to re-build thingsif you *really* want to.

I've done several of these myself. ( Ok, which way did you -think- I meant a.l.a.l ? ;) ) ) If you go the make 'config route, *do* by all means read all the help you can find in there before changing thins; you cwill probably find something that interacts with something else that you've already done that makes what you've already done irrelevant or -wrong-, so read all through the [deleted] thing before making changes. Itsa drag, yeah, but it does make things like kernels more safely. We both know its gotta be in there somewhere, right? I recommend using genkernel for creating a kernel. You still have to deal with configuring yourself, but then Gentoo deals with the compile and moving the kernel around and such. rgh. Followed by the inevitable compile, if you _do_ find something.

I've tried it. The result is 19.11 MB/sec. But why are the values posted before so different? hdparm -vid /dev/hda only reports differences in the drive geometry.
