There is a few on here but this topic may not apply to them. I'd suggest either filing a bug against whatever package is touching /dev or maybe posting on -dev mailing list.

[gentoo-user] packages messing with /dev
Dear package maintainers, please do not mess with preexisting files in /dev. I have static /dev and that suit me well for quite a few systems that has a static environment, especially system that are intended to for a long time and where I tend to minimize the number of running processes, every running process is something that can go wrong. Their /dev/ files are set up for their intended use, and I don't want surprises there. When upgrading it isn't easy to see what package that did something to /dev so it isn't easy to bug the guilty party. If sys-fs/static-dev is installed, please do not touch /dev, if you want you can leave suggestions in some file. Regards, /Karl Hammar

That means there is no upstream distfile available, and Gentoo is distributing its own file via the mirrors (this is actually frowned upon these days though I'm not sure if it is banned offhand - I just avoid doing it this way). Usually the better practice is to host the file somewhere (such as the Gentoo webserver), and it will be mirrored anyway. These mirror:// files are manually injected into the mirror system by developers, and then they stick around as long as some ebuild references them, and then they just go poof without a trace (which means users with older repos can have issues). There has been talk about more robust solutions for these files (especially patches/etc), but nothing has happened. If your system isn't configured with a working Gentoo distfile mirror then for most packages you're probably downloading everything from upstream, but these mirror:// URIs have no sources other than the mirrors so if you don't have a working mirror config it simply won't fetch at all. In general anything in the tree should be fetchable. If that isn't the case it should be quickly spotted and fixed/removed, and it is always a valid bug, assuming it isn't just a local issue on your system. I wouldn't file a bug for this issue - I suspect QA would have already if it wanted to make it a strict policy. This sort of thing is trivially detected with a tinderbox or repoman if desired. -- Rich
[gentoo-user] packages going stable after sources become unavailable
I've noticed on several occasions in the past few months that by the time some packages are marked stable, the version is old enough that sources are no longer available -- so the emerge fails because sources can no longer be downloaded. If I'm lucky I may have a copy of the sources on another machine. If I'm not lucky, I just wait until the next time a new version goes stable and hope that it's not been obsoleted. This seems to happen regularly with Imagemagick. Version 7.0.8.60 just went stable today, yet it can't be built because version 7.0.8.60 sources can no longer be downloaded. Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't there be a requirement that an ebuild actually be _buildable_ from scratch when it goes stable? -- Grant

I wonder if running emerge with --keep-going a few times would work in this situation? It might be a good idea to mention this issue somewhere on the wiki or in a follow-up news item. I doubt we're the last to face this problem now that 17.1 profiles are stable. I opened bug 687600 to improve the New item for this. For me, adding --deep to the emerge command fixed the build order. I would guess that adding --keep-going, and running multiple times would eventually get everything rebuilt also. Jack

I.e. - Gentoo builds from source code but you don't want to build libreoffice from source so you want a pre-built version? If that's your question then the generic answer is that Gentoo does not supply pre-built packages.

[gentoo-user] Packages in other architectures (arm)
I've just come into possession of a few of these fabulous little machines: http://www.marvell.com/products/embedded_processors/developer/kirkwood/sheevaplug.jsp They have 512mb ram, 1ghz Arm CPU and a sketchy jffs2 hard drive inside, along with an SDHC slot, one USB plug and one gigabit ethernet port. Naturally, I'm turning them into a little cluster of web/mail/dns/torrent servers :-) Unfortunatly though, I've discovered that one of my favourite command-line based torrent clients, rtorrent doesn't have arm in its KEYWORDS variable. Can someone tell me why this is? If it's just due to it not having been tested, I'd be happy to do that, but I'd need to know the right way to do that.

Therefore the best you can do is manually inspect the output of `eix --installed-overlay`. It will show all packages where the version you have installed exists in any overlay (and you can see if they exist in the tree too). That, however, only implies that they might have been installed from that overlay.. It does require app-portage/eix-0.8.x. Also if you use update-eix-remote you better (re)move the eix database (/var/cache/eix) and regenerate the database with `update-eix` first or you will get a lot of false positives.

It would appear google has updated their package without changing the
name, and portage has not been notified of this change. If you want it
to work, delete the digest file for it in

and that should fix you up. I found it still compiles and runs fine
*shrugs*
True, you hit the problem right on the head. That is exactly what they
do. But what I had noticed is that they change that thing a lot. Since
I am on a really slow dial-up here, I check for updates, sync, every
couple days or so. While I know that it comes from Google and I don't
question the tarball from a security point of view, portage still
complains about it each time and deletes it for me, since it thinks it
is a security problem. That would normally be a great idea but then I
have to download it again, which takes a little over two hours for me.
I get about 10Mbs a hour here. goes to have a good cry
Plus, it is a pain in the butt to have to manually do the digest thing
every time I sync up too. My solution was to remove it from the world
file, since portage had already deleted the tarball and I didn't want to
download it again to do a oneshot install. Now the only drawback is
that --depclean -p tells me it is not needed since it is not in the
world file and is not a dependancy. I do that manually anyways so it
doesn't matter.
I'm no guru but if he wants it out of overlay, he may want to emerge it
as a oneshot at least. Then just check for updates on occasion. I had
to use the --digest option too when I installed it. That way it assumes
it is OK and doesnt' check it.
Hope that makes sense. Maybe . . . . LOL

Also the more often you sync the more bandwidth you need with Gentoo in general.. I only got it once. :/ Well, I tried the other way around, not updating as often but I have it all planned out now. The problem with waiting is that it builds up. I would hate to sync after a month or so then find out OOo and KDE was updated, plus some otehrs for good measure. Just OOo takes me about 24 hours to download. Yes, I get the compiled version. This is Gentoo after all. ;-) Plus, I ran into a config nightmare. To many updates at once for me. I'm not a guru. The way I do is this, I connect around 10:00PM, check my emails and sometimes the weather. Then I start the sync process and tell it to fetch the new stuff afterwards, got to love the . While it is doing that, I go for my nightly soak in the tub. I have a skin disorder and I have spent several hours in the tub. This works well because at the very least the fetch has started and sometimes it has been fetching for a while. It depends on how many things are updated and how long I soak. As for googleearth, well, dial-up has taught me patience. It works, it just takes a really long time to get there. Sometimes another soak in the tub. LOL Dale :-) :-) :-) -- www.myspace.com/dalek1967

When it does reach stable, just remove kde-base/* from the file. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Packages CD for x86 with 2006.0
Is there a set of binary packages available on CD for 32 bit x86 of any description. The list on the release page seems to be. amd64 ppc (ppc) ppc (g4) ppc (64 bit - 32bit userland) ppc (64 bit - 64bit userland) sparc64 same on the torrents page. Do users of older machines (who could really do with a quick install method) miss out? Please don't argue against binary installs in your reply. I know the issues.

Nick (running the annual chch gentoo mini installfest soon) -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Seems the lower harware limit for an install with binary packages is i686. Using the ones on the livecd-i686-2006.0. There're not even classical binary packages, but livecd could be used to perform a binary install (haven't made one though). Assume the target audience was considered too small to bother. Rumen pgpubbNNE87we.pgp Description: PGP signature

2006.0 handbook, section 1b
Is GRP Available?
Not all architectures provide GRP packages. That doesn't mean GRP isn't
supported on the other architectures, but it means that we don't have the
resources to build and test the GRP packages.
At present we provide GRP packages for the following architectures:
* The amd64 architecture (amd64)
* The ppc architecture (ppc32, ppc64)
* The sparc architecture (sparc64)
* The x86 architecture (athlon, athlon-xp,
athlon-mp, pentium-pro, pentium2, pentium3, pentium4 and pentium-m)
Note: THE PACKAGES ARE FOR I686 AND ARE AVAILABLE ON THE INSTALLER
LIVECD.
SHOUTING and extra *'s added by me to reinforce my previous silliness.
Sorry to bother you all.

You have gotten it all wrong. /var/lib/portage/world lists only manually installed packages. e.g.: If you do not have X installed and do emerge gnome X will be pulled in as a dependency, along with a whole lot of other stuff, but only gnome will be written in world, because that is the package you manually emerged. This is why in order upgrade your whole system you have to do emerge -u -D world. -D makes emerge check for the given packages' dependencies as well. Though this means, that if you have a package installed, that is not listed in world, nor is a dependency of anything in world, it will never get picked up by portage. It has been stated, that the devs will probably implement an all keyword in portage, at some point, so that one can more efficiently check for updates to all packages, instead of only those in world and their dependencies. To answer the original question: Portage keeps information about all emerged pacakges in /var/db/pkg . -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
