Re: [gentoo-user] Things that can be improved

Do you want to do that now? The problem with this is that it break for users who put emerge in a cron job.

Re: [gentoo-user] etc-update
Le lundi 26 juin 2006 à 08:36 -0400, Sean a écrit : What is the best way to handle the files that etc-update states needs to be updated? I use dispatch-conf with color highlighting the big advantage of dispatch-conf is that you can configure it to replace config files that you didn't modify automatically. When i run dispatch-conf after a little upgrade when portage told me to do so, most of the time i don't have to do anything (it saves time). here is my dispatch-conf.conf file : # cat /etc/dispatch-conf.conf | grep -v ^# | grep -v ^$ archive-dir=/etc/config-archive use-rcs=no diff=colordiff -Nu %s %s | less --no-init --QUIT-AT-EOF merge=sdiff --suppress-common-lines --output=%s %s %s replace-cvs=yes replace-wscomments=yes replace-unmodified=yes -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Modular X and xscreensaver
Le mardi 06 juin 2006 à 12:49 +0800, W.Kenworthy a écrit : I have just brought my X up to date (modular Xorg 7.1) and am finding that xscreensaver is crashing the xserver. Of course there is nothing in the logs, or onscreen as X either stops or reboots. Eventually it takes out the OS and a system reboot is required. Is anyone else seeing this (in which case I'll bugzilla it, though I have no info on whats happening) or is it just me? This also has brought up a *BIG* disadvantage of modularising something like xorg - when things go wrong, how can you wind it back to a previous version - impossible? BillK do you have a nvidia card and a nvidia driver that you compiled yourself ? because i heard 7.1 introduced a ABI change so the drivers aren't compatible now. with portage nvidia-kernel block xorg 7.1 i have this in my package.mask: # nvidia incompatibility =x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1 =x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.0 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-1.2.1 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-1.2.0 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-vga-4.1.0 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.1.0 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.1.0 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.1.1 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-1.1.2µµ -Leszek -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: emerge broken - libstdc++.so.5
Like many things in life this pain seems to be somewhat self inflicted, I suppose. More into. After emerging gcc-3.4.6 I had troubles with the gcc-config stuff so I removed gcc-3.3.6. However it appears that removing 3.3.6 removed libstdc++ also. I updated slocate's database and saw that the only libraries with that name are gone now: the solution to your problem is here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Recover_from_%22emerge_--unmerge_gcc%22 and you can add yourself to the wall of shame too ;) -Leszek -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Now Know Why Portage Is So Slow
Forgive my ignorance, but what is RSYNC? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync basically, portage use rsync to update the information on packages (ebuilds) in /usr/portage (with emerge --sync) If anything, this is a indicator that I need to try and contribute to the portage project... at least contribute as much as I'm able. you should try the ~x86 version of portage which has many improvements: $ echo sys-apps/portage ~x86 /etc/portage/package.use $ emerge portage you should also know that there is an alternative package manager which will maybe replace portage in the future: paludis. It is still in early development so use it at your own risk. http://paludis.berlios.de/ you can find more info on portage on the new gentoo development guide: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Now Know Why Portage Is So Slow
