I'll be happy to help out on this one. Btw, this is my first mail to this mailinglist - hi! Hi Daniel!, welcome =) The BrainStorm idea is a good one, but it closely resembles the gentoo forums and perhaps a bit like the gentoo wiki too... Heck... if you squint a bit and don't look real close, brainstorm looks a bit like the gentoo bugs site too. Sure Jerry, it's not all that different from the forum or bugzilla but it's somehow more accesible. I consider the brainstorm site it more like a shortcut than a brand-new never-seen idea. You may use any of the other (wiki, bugs, forum) to do this but it's not as visible as a exclusive site. The real question may be, does it need so much attention? I think so, because new ideas and a closer relationship between the ideas proposed and the users are very important. Probably a good place for this to land is in the wiki... Call it my wish list (sorry) or something else though. Also, if the gentoo version closely copies the Ubunt BrainStorm, it desperately needs a better indexing method, other than offering pages and pages of unknown topics that you must page through to find something useful... Yeah, it's seems like the first steps will be totally community-driven (as the wiki AFAIK). I'm trying to get in touch with the ubuntu guys that run the site to learn from their mistakes ;) I'll let you know of any progress on this.

I am of the opinion that opening a bug is not the right way to go about this. First, it is not critical. And second someone who really wants the brainstorm should code up the infrastructure and then maybe open a bug to get their work into Gentoo.

[gentoo-user] kpathsea(latex) search path problem
Hi, I've been facing a lot of issues using latex under my user for quite some time and now I (think) finally get to the root of the problem. Using latex under my normal user is s frustraiting, it take about 5 or 6 second *just* to start compiling it. I use to wonder what it was doing all that time, now I have some clues. Under root the compilation was automatic, less than a second. using this command: latex -kpathsea-debug=25 under boot I found that as my user it searchs *ALL* my home directory. This is where the output of the above command is different: AS ROOT kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/root/.texmf-config) = 1 kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/root/.texmf-config) = 1 kdebug:path element /root/.texmf-config = /root/.texmf-config/ kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/root/.texmf-config/ls-R) = 1 kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/root/.texmf-config/ls-r) = 1 AS MY USER kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/home/rodrigo//.texmf-config) = 1 kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/home/rodrigo//.texmf-config) = 1 kdebug:dir_links(/home/rodrigo/m) = -1 kdebug:dir_links(/home/rodrigo/r) = -1 . . . (all my directory hierarchy, a some of thousand of file) kdebug:path element /home/rodrigo//.texmf-config = /home/rodrigo/.texmf-config/ kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/home/rodrigo/.texmf-config/ls-R) = 1 kdebug:kpse_normalize_path (/home/rodrigo/.texmf-config/ls-r) = 1 Why is that?
