I'm not interested in saving this, but this seems to be LGPL'ed software[1], so
it seems odd that it is mirror-restricted.

Hi,
Harley Peters har...@thepetersclan.net:
Since I did a full checkout with the EBZR_FETCH_CMD=bzr checkout
it now deletes the entire previous checked out branch (to save disk
space ?) and proceeds to fetch the entire source again.
Why would I ever want to do that ? The whole point of bzr is to save
bandwidth not disk space. Is there a way arouund this ?
You can add a modified bzr.eclass to a local overlay which will shadow
the one from the Portage tree. This idea was born because initial
checkouts are/were incredibly slow, so give first time users a better
first experience and not let them wait 20 minutes (what happened with
the Emacs repository).
V-Li
I understand that the time trade-off favors lightweight checkouts, but if there
is a pre-existing full checkout then why secondguess the user and delete it? It
seems to me that the lines
elif [[ -d ${EBZR_BRANCH_DIR}/.bzr/repository/ ]]; then
einfo Re-fetching the branch to save space...
rm -rf ${EBZR_BRANCH_DIR}
bzr_initial_fetch ${EBZR_REPO_URI} ${EBZR_BRANCH_DIR}
should be removed. If users want to get rid of full checkouts they can easily
delete them themselves.

[gentoo-dev] stacking profile.bashrc?
Hi, I'm facing this problem in Prefix on AIX, although it is a generic problem IMO: We do have post_src_install() hook in profiles/prefix/profile.bashrc to drop charset.alias for packages != libiconv, required for non-glibc platforms. In profiles/prefix/aix/profiles.bashrc, there is another post_src_install() hook with some aix specific hacks, required for portage to allow for merging shared libraries there. The problem now is that the latter post_src_install() overrides the former, and I get collisions on charset.alias as the former is not executed. Is this a portage bug (each of them should be executed)? Or is there some defined way to handle this I just was unable to find? Thank you! /haubi/ -- Michael Haubenwallner Gentoo on a different level

All of those are marked as unsupported by upstream and their git code no

Why were they marked unsupported by upstream? Is there a replacement, are they
no longer needed, some other reason?

Le 13/07/2009 16:56, Marijn Schouten (hkBst) a écrit : Why were they marked unsupported by upstream? Is there a replacement, are they no longer needed, some other reason? Some are now supported by the kernel. For the rest, nobody owns the hardware anymore. (ur98 is for a head-tracker... does anyone own that?) All have in common that they've been broken (in portage) for many months and no-one noticed until Sabayon folks started doing tinderbox builds :) If someone is sincerely impacted by this, please get in touch with upstream (CC me) because most of those drivers could come back to life with very little work. They mostly need someone testing them. But as they stand now, I'm getting rid of them. Cheers, Rémi
[gentoo-dev] Re: Progress on Universal Select Tool
Hello, Missed a weekly report, busy week. Will try to post 2 reports this week as I am also working twice as much time. Progress since last report: * Converted all modules into plain python. * uselect got even faster * symlinking dependencies (ex: ruby and ruby-gems) * several links per action (ex: bash-completion) New module example: # Python Module from umodule import * module = Module(name = python, description = Python Version Switcher, version = 0.1, author =meph...@gmail.com) # We define the module bin = Action (name = 'bin', description = Change Python's Version, type = sym) # Define a Symlinking Action python = Link(alias = python, target = /usr/bin/python, prefix = /usr/bin/, regexp = python([0-9]+\.[0-9]+$)) python_config = Link(alias = python-config, target = /usr/bin/python-config, prefix = /usr/bin/, regexp = python([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)-config$) bin.add_link(python_config) # For inheritance bin.add_link(python) # Adding The Link to the action module.add_action(bin) #Adding the action to the module # End Only 1 module per file and modules are retrieved via the variable module on each module. I couldn't find out a better way of doing this but I'm sure there is one. Anyone? This seems a bit messy but will be much easier to create support for markup languages (I'm starting to love the idea of JSON). This is a very good progress but brought a problem. Managing symlinking dependencies (tree-like) became a huge headache. (Due to infinite dependency capabilities). Suggestions are welcome in this part. At this point I am creating a new way of managing several targets and it's dependencies automatically in an indexed way either for easy displaying and also for easy choosing. (No indexing is beeing done right now, just plain object count) I plan to start the profiling capabilities later this week.

It works fine, but I think the machine is still on Xorg Server 1.3. I don't have the capacity to maintain this driver myself, but it seems bug #276615 has a patch, so I wonder why it needs to be abandoned. Whom exactly shall I contact upstream about the deprecation?
