Can anybody recommend a good replacement for RabbitVCS? I've been
using it for ages to browse repos (mainly SVN), but it seems to have
died off. It's no longer in the package database nor in PyPi. The
last update in the developer blog is 2-1/2 years old.
What are the alternatives?

One of the nagging annoyances with Gentoo is the constant, steady
increase in the number of packages installed (even though I'm not
changing anything or adding anything new). It's usually just 1 or 2
new packages every now and then, which is tolerable.

Using ssh -X or ssh -Y works fine for older applications, but not for

It seems that every time a new Python version is unmasks, it breaks

This time it's a python-exec version conflict that prevents emerge

I've found that a viable work-around for anything at all long or
complex is to edit the message using markdown-mode in emacs, preview
the message in a browser, and then cut/paste it into hiri's editor
window. But, the OWA web UI works just as well for that...

That's what I'd do. Try remuxing first (it can be done losslessly).
To remux losslessly, use the "copy" codecs for both audio and video.

Would anybody care to recommend a tool for browsing around (and
editing) a tree of somebody-else's C code?
I prefer emacs for day-to-day editing of my code (when I know what's
where), but I'm looking for something to browse around a tree of
unfamiliar source code and make minor changes. I briefly
oved by emerge --depclean.
Is this documented somewhere in the handbook?

The OP explicitly stated he wants to run without X. AFAICT he wants
two separte Linux consoles. I don't think that's possible.

I still use mplayer a lot, and it doesn't do that. Whenver I start
mplayer the volume

I gave up on the grub2 auto-magical config system many years ago. My

According to the pycxx README and to the pysvn devloper PyCXX 7.12 is
not compatible with Python 3.9 because the tp_print field has been
removed from one of the structures. My attempts to use PyCXX with
Python 3.9 seem to confirm this.
Is it a bug that the PyCXX ebuild allows it to be installed
