Re: [gentoo-user] Portage being silly with kernel sources

[ckard]

Portage is neither silly nor smart. Will do what will be told to do.

By default is tracking stable packages unless you have specified
otherwise either by changing universally the tracking $ARCH in
make.conf or per package in package.accept_keywords file or directory.
I would guess that you've got "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" somewhere into
package.accept_keywords in the past and forgot about it.

If gentoo-sources has not been manually overridden and portage complains
about it then another package depends on the unstable version of
gentoo-sources and trying to pull it, so you have to find which one is it.

Re: [gentoo-user] [Sort of OT] Going old school - Doom

[ckard]

A certain guy with beautiful hair called John Romero, who recently released
a new WAD, recommends gzdoom.
Either that or prboom will work just fine, though.

Re: [gentoo-user] getting increasingly worried about this.

Hello,

So from what i understand from your burbling you run a ~testing arch
and the last update of spidermonkey removed jit that is used by kde.

First of all, there's nothing like "Stable Enough" testing branch.
It's fairly stable like won't kill your cat but sometimes things break
that's why we testing it and report them (and some exceptional times
your cat might be in danger too, poor neko)

Just downgrade to the last spidermonkey version that expose jit
flag and if you want to be useful open a bug for the :52 and :45
versions that lost jit flag to let the kde guys know.

You could also reverse the latest commit from git and regain jit
in your local overlay but developer obviously had his/her reasons
to do so (http://bugs.gentoo.org/631574).

Bye

Re: [gentoo-user] How to check for PIE-code ?

[ckard]

You can use app-admin/checksec to see if different security features are
enabled or not.

You probably updated other python modules afterwards. Try to reinstall calibre.

 So how does this work?


 Non-incremental variable means it will reset whenever you assign to
 it. Thus, all you need to do is specify only what modules you want;
 anything not specified will be excluded.


 I want to have the defaults for it, except connman.  The defaults are
 provided by the ebuild (and they can change from version to version; I can't
 keep track of that.)



In your package.use
x11-wm/enlightenment -enlightenment_modules_connman

enlightenment_modules_module-name in general for each one you wanna
turn off individually

xaralx development is staled afaik. There was a debate between in
house developers and community on mailing list last time i checked
mainly because of the unreleased code of their rendering engine.

 Hi all,

 Does anybody know something about Xara Xtreme
 (http://www.xaraxtreme.org) project? Is this an living project or not?
 I've tried to install from sunrise overlay, but emerge stopped by
 error. I've tried to install from source but the same... Eventually I
 could install by autopackage. but autopackage did something with lib
 because revdep-rebuild can't run. :(
 I've seen in svn the last commit happens in 2007 november... :(

 I've used this software few years ago and I like it very much.

 Thanks for information in advance!
