So you're saying I must spend 1 hour to mask all the stuff? (Not joking,
the list is big, I have to do emerge -av world each time and see the

You might need to mask media-sound/amarok:4.1 as well, but that's
hardly an hour's work.
On a related note, paludis calculates and lists all blockers at once,
not one-by-one.

You could either tack the output to the end of your package.mask with

it in there.
Or just copypaste this line:
eix -C kde-|grep \[[IU]\]|awk -F '{print $2 :4.1}'
/etc/portage/package.mask
It does assume that you have eix installed.
Re: [gentoo-user] kdelibs-4.0.1 complaining about missing accessibility use flag
Erik [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I thought that Qt 4.4 was source compatible with Qt 4.3 so that a program written for Qt 4.3 would be buildable with Qt 4.4. I even thought that source compatibility was only broken in major versions (like Qt3 to Qt4). You're right, sorry for the mistake. My next guess is that the kdelibs ebuild is simply not prepared for the qt split. You probably need to copy to your local overlay the 4.4 ebuild and edit in the dummy use flags accessibility dbus gif jpeg png qt3support ssl zlib. Or you could edit it out of the kde4-base.eclass, but I'd rather not touch that. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[SNIP] I do not see any -accessibility here, so it should work, right. The package that has accessibility (qt-gui), has it enabled. What is wrong here? AFAIK, KDE 4.0.* only supports Qt 4.3.*. The Qt split ebuilds are hardmasked not because of KDE4, but because of the release candidate status. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Excellent Paludis interview
b.n. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'd like to try Paludis, looks very promising. I think I've read that Portage and Paludis can coexist happily. Can someone confirm it? It would be useful for a transition. It works just fine. :) Later versions have the ability to use portage configuration files directly, but that makes you lose some advantages, like per-repository masking or unmasking of packages. I use a small script to keep portage and paludis config files in sync, so I can use whichever I want. The thing I like about it most is how it keeps overlays separate, so they don't override eclasses globally, or that you can even specify 'underlays' that are only used if neither the official portage nor any other overlays carry a specific package. And the recent addition of the option '--continue-on-failure' won me over all over again. :) János Zsitvai -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Richard Marzan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
May i have that script? I assume it's GPLed :-)
Honestly, calling it a script is an embellishment.
Perhaps phrasing it as 'something that keeps the faster moving parts of
configuration in sync' would have been better.
echo '*/* x86' /etc/paludis/keywords.conf
grep -h -v \# /etc/portage/package.keywords/* | grep \/ | awk -F '{print $1
x86 ~x86}' | sort -u /etc/paludis/keywords.conf
cat /etc/paludis/package_mask.conf | grep -v '::' | grep -v '#' | sort -u
/etc/portage/package.mask/paludis
cat /etc/paludis/package_unmask.conf | grep -v '::' | grep -v '#' | sort -u
/etc/portage/package.unmask/paludis
cat /etc/paludis/use.conf | grep -v '::' | grep -v '\*\/\*' | grep -v '#' |
sort -u /etc/portage/package.use/paludis
That's all there is to it, and it makes a lot of assumptions: that
you've already configured both paludis and portage, that you consider
/etc/paludis authoritative on everything but package.keywords, that
you're running a mixed x86 and ~x86 system, and probably others I can't
spot. You also have to sync the global use flags by hand in make.conf
ans use.conf, as well as manage adding/removing overlays by hand, and it
won't touch CFLAGS settings either, etc.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you package unmask/mask a
package from a certain repository only with cat/pkg::repo, portage won't
know about it and probably not do what you want.

Re: [gentoo-user] possible MBR corruption?
Neil Bothwick [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Which is what I used to do, and means you have a separate /boot partition and need an initrd. By combining / and /boot, you have one less partition, the same number of non-LVM partitions and no initrd. It also means that now I have half a gig going unused on my main / because it isn't on LVM. If I ever get around to repartitioning, I'll definitely only keep /boot on a non-LVM partition. I keep a spare stable non-testing gentoo system in exactly the space that / wouldn't need.

Re: [gentoo-user] possible MBR corruption?

And I could easily shrink it down to a sane size were it on LVM. That was kinda the point. Oversizing /boot to a hundred megabytes is of no considerable impact, oversizing / to a gigabyte is. Your root might only be 200 megs, mine takes 480. The LVM2 Gentoo docs stated that '1GB should be sufficient', so that's what I went with and what I'm now stuck with.

Re: [gentoo-user] possible MBR corruption?
Hi, I suspect your root is a lot more than it needs to be, does it include /opt? No, it actually turns out that I have a lot of cruft in /root. Outdated portage snapshots, old kernel images moved from /boot when it filled up, mysql binary log files I weren't sure were essential.. Without all that, it's about 200MB as well. I'll read up to see if I can shrink it and hand the free space over to the LVM, this is getting increasingly bothersome. Zsitvai János -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems accessing gmail with pop3 using kmail/kontact
Hello, This may sound like overkill, but I've found that the most reliable set-up is to simply configure fetchmail, procmail, spamassassin, dovecot and postfix properly, and just use whatever client you prefer as an IMAP reader. I used to move between a couple of clients, but now I'm pretty much settled on KMail and Gnus. If everything else is configured properly, you'll never face something like this again. It's well worth the one-time investment. János Zsitvai -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
