Re:Re: [gentoo-user] Where is the souce code of software?
Humm , I guess he just want to look for the source code of gnu coreutils, just download the gnu coreutils. http://ftp.cn.debian.org/gnu/coreutils/ uncompress it , then you can find them all .

Re-sync portage tree and try again.
eutils.eclass (where epatch is defined) has been changed several times
in the last 24 hours. The last change seems to fix something which
might be the direct cause of your problem (an EPATCH_EXCLUDES handling
bugfix, as according to the ebuild that 001_all_* patch is supposed to
be excluded?).

[gentoo-user] coreutils binary package
Hi, Due to problems with coreutils w/ 'xattr' USE-flag (cp) can't remerge it as some other packages. So need a binary package w/o xattr, a newer version will probably solve this too (need a i686-binary). Seems i could also use the install disk to get it but don't have one available. Any hints or help will be appreciated. Thanks, Rumen -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Messed up - how do I emerge coreutils once coreutils is gone?
I have a little Mac Mini - my first attempt at Gentoo on a PowerPC - that I brought up this week. It was (is) working but I'm not using it for anything yet. Just playing around with the machine. Nothing serious. This morning I wasn't paying much attention and wanted to do an emerge -DuN world. The process had blocking issues: MacMini ~ # emerge -pv coreutils These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] sys-devel/automake-1.10.1 [1.10] 897 kB [ebuild U ] sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r1 [6.9-r1] USE=acl nls (-selinux) -static -vanilla% -xattr 3,670 kB [blocks B ] sys-apps/mktemp (is blocking sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r1) [blocks B ] =sys-apps/coreutils-6.10 (is blocking sys-apps/mktemp-1.5) Total: 2 packages (2 upgrades, 2 blocks), Size of downloads: 4,566 kB so without any real thought I did an emerge -C coreutils and walked away. Well, that, it seems, was a *very* bad idea. Now nothing much works. There were some messages that had I been watching I would have stopped the process but I wasn't so there you go. Oops. Anyway, the machine is still up and running but I suspect that it might not reboot or allow logins if it did reboot. I'm unable to emerge anything right now. coreutils, as folks probably know, includes stuff that once gone pretty much stops the machine from being interesting or useful. Question: Is there a way to recover from this? It's not a huge issue even if I have to completely rebuild the machine. As I say this was mostly a Gentoo build on a lark to test out how the machine might work for a couple of different ideas - mythfrontend and a simple router. Everything was quick and dirty and there are a few things I might change anyway, but if I can get it working again I figure I should learn how.

[gentoo-user] *** Warning - beware of sys-apps/coretuils-8.10
Hi, as I've been just be bitten by this, I'd like to warn you. My root partition has an ext4 FS while other partitions use BTRFS. But the bug shown below seems to be related to the ext4 FS on my root partition. I've just tried to install the 12.6.37-gentoo-r2 kernel. make modules_installed told me, some modules were invalid. Stepping back to sys-apps/coretuils-8.9 fixed the problem, though coreutils-8.10 doesn't seem to be buggy. It's related to a bug in btrfs and ext4 which is revealed by sys-apps/coreutils-8.10 While the btrfs bug seems to be fixed in 2.6.38-rc7 the ext4 bug is not fixed, yet (AFAIK) See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353907 esp. comments 17 and 22 and http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-coreutils@gnu.org/msg19952.html Be warned, Helmut.
