Instead of creating many disk partitions, you would simply create one large one the size of the disk. Then using LVM create as many virtual partitions as you need (I forget the correct LVM terminology, I believe it's logical volumes).

You may need to specify the virtual package (virtual/linux-sources) and not the actual package portage is trying to use, but I'm not sure... There is a note in the gnupg ebuild that points to a bug talking about the need for (or not) kernel sources. I didn't quite follow the arguments and solution, but it had something to do with installing gpg suid root. At any rate, it doesn't make sense (to me) for gnupg to require kernel sources to build or install. Well, I /sort of/ understand what is going on in the mind of the ebuild maintainer. The suid bit is only required for kernel versions less than 2.6.9, and the maintainer wants to avoid (for security reasons, I suppose) setting the suid bit for kernels at or above this version. Now, instead of using parsing uname and and getting the version of the *running* kernel, the ebuild checks files in the current /usr/src/linux directory/symlink to determine what version to build against. Either approach seems acceptable, but flawed in some way. Using /usr/src/linux causes problems for you and may yield a gnupg that doesn't work (or at least, doesn't get the protected memory features) in the running kernel; using uname may be a security risk (to what degree is a matter of opinion) if you're in a chroot or otherwise preparing a gentoo system but not running within it. Of course, this means that the package.provided method probably won't work since it won't actually provide a /usr/src/linux directory/symlink with the right files. :/ It only seems to affect the suid bit, and gnupg is one of those applications that you can probably trust with suid permissions anyway -- if it were my ebuild, I probably would have just set the suid bit and not checked the kernel version at all, but maybe that's why I'm not an ebuild maintainer. There is a bugfix for 113474 in my version (--sync'd today) that says it removes the requirement for a compiled kernel, but I don't see it removing the dependency so I'd wager that bug might not actually be fixed. :P It might allow you to use the package.provided technique though. Rechecking the eclass makes me fairly sure you can use package.provided, but that could cause problems down the road -- nevertheless I'd try it if I were you. If package.provides doesn't work, I think your best bet at this point might actually be getting hold of the ebuild maintainer or another gentoo dev and trying to convince them to drop the dependency. That may not be the easiest task though, since the DEPEND is needed, at least the way I read the ebuild. You can also use an overlay with the extra dependency factored out in the meantime.

[gentoo-user] Stuch on k3b at dep install of Transcode
I'm trying to install k3b. One of its dependancies is transcode. The emerge stopped at transcode with specific errors, When checking bugzilla I see this is a known problem. I'm not sure how to proceed from here. For example: If I have emerge install a version that doesn't appear in the bug reports (several versions back) how would that effect the install of k3b. Wouldn't it still want to install the problem version? Can I do something in /etc/portage/package.provided that will allow the old build to stand? I'm familiar with how it works on backages that are a version or two ahead. But somewhere, when I read up on package.provided it said this would work as long as the package listed there was a newer version. I currently have: cat /etc/portage/package.provided rsnapshot-1.2.2 bacula-1.48.5 In both cases those are newer than anything in portage (even masked). I'd rather not build transcode by hand because the emerge of k3b showed a complicated string of deps and it seems like I could get in a pretty good mess going outside of portage for some pieces of it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Stuch on k3b at dep install of Transcode
I had a similar problem some months ago. I can't remember all the details, but i think it had to do something with avi. I changed the useflags of transcode until the emerge of the latest version finished without any error. Try to unmask the latest version of transcode and emerge it. Good luck. /Uwe Harry Putnam wrote: I'm trying to install k3b. One of its dependancies is transcode. The emerge stopped at transcode with specific errors, When checking bugzilla I see this is a known problem. I'm not sure how to proceed from here. For example: If I have emerge install a version that doesn't appear in the bug reports (several versions back) how would that effect the install of k3b. Wouldn't it still want to install the problem version? Can I do something in /etc/portage/package.provided that will allow the old build to stand? I'm familiar with how it works on backages that are a version or two ahead. But somewhere, when I read up on package.provided it said this would work as long as the package listed there was a newer version. I currently have: cat /etc/portage/package.provided rsnapshot-1.2.2 bacula-1.48.5 In both cases those are newer than anything in portage (even masked). I'd rather not build transcode by hand because the emerge of k3b showed a complicated string of deps and it seems like I could get in a pretty good mess going outside of portage for some pieces of it. Can someone outline a proceedure for a case like this? begin:vcard fn:Uwe Klosa n:Klosa;Uwe org:Uppsala University;Electronic Publishing Centre adr:;;;Uppsala;;75120;Sweden email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;work:+46 (0)18 471 7658 url:http://publications.uu.se/epcentre version:2.1 end:vcard

The emerge stopped at transcode with specific errors, When checking bugzilla I see this is a known problem. I am away from my portage tree right now, so I can't check this. AFAIK, k3b needs transcode only for recording a DVD to harddisk (in AVI format?). It then allows to write the result to another DVD. If you don't intend to use that feature but use k3b only for burning and copying CDs and DVDs, you don't need transcode. So I guess there is a USE flag like -transcode or somesuch to build it without that feature. Just poke around in the USE flag definitions.

This time, I do write simply because I want to THANK all people that makes possible a system like Gentoo GNU/Linux, that brings their effort and free time to make us equally (in rights). There have past time since I defend GPL and CC licences. Why can I have access to a book that costs 80 dollars and someone that hasn't got that money can't have access to it? I think that knowledge is something that everybody should have free access to. Is a good (and a right) that should be expanded, and nothing best than this kind of licenses. This is good for everybody. Time agreed with us (with those that defended free knowledge). Privative software is not safer because of hidden source code [it has been tested experimentally xD]. It has been possible to develop apps like Samba or Wine, without knowing any Windows source code, only testing and hearing, this is a point for free minds. So I want to thank all the people that takes a minute helping others with their knowledge, doesn't matter how much it is. I want to thank all developers that takes care of their packages, and making them as good as we have installed right now (excellent quality). And I'd like to thank master Robbins his idea of a particular system like Gentoo. I'd like to say something that is like a feeling, I don't know if you'll agree with me. This happens me with Gentoo and LFS (Linux from scratch). Why Gentoo and not Debian or other distro? Because for me is like going to a restaurant, and they serve wine on your table, opening it in front of you. Is a matter of education. I prefer my system to download source code, apply patches (with diretives that I can control, and no one more), and make for me the app. For me a binary packages system is like if in the restaurant they open the wine bottle in the kitchen, instead of in front of you. Thank you all guys, Rafael Fernández López. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD7mDG9RRlaicc3IERAmqLAJ0SU6aGICClb9NQugC8+fbh/0ZuvwCfVULS 52YQzJS7Dhp1AlcPMKg8rdk= =OeRX -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Weird USE flag behaviour
On Sat, Feb 11, 2006 at 06:58:10PM +0530, Abhay Kedia wrote I first experienced this thing when I installed MySQL to use with amaroK. Ok I want it to manage my 20K files music collection but thats it!!! I don't want lots of other packages to think that I want MySQL support in them as well. If I want it, I would enable it. Why should portage enable this USE flag in all of the packages and force me to disable it? Similar is with JDK. If I am installing JDK to compile my occasional JAVA programs then why enable it for GCC, DB, OpenOffice and what not. It was an irritating thing imho. If portage thinks that an option is vital for a package's functioning then it should not be a USE flag and if it is a USE flag then it should *allow me* to decide whether I want to *enable* it or not. My introduction to this behaviour occured when the developers, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make ipv6 a default flag. The extra bloat was bad enough. And then some network/web apps would spin their wheels for 60 seconds or so, waiting for an IPV6 lookup to time out, before finally deciding that maybe they should try IPV4 lookups instead. To prevent such surprises in future, I now put -* at the front of my USE variable in /etc/make.conf, like so..

Anyone have a clue why the old versions weren't removed? Is it safe to simply delete them? And why is kdm loading 3.3 instead of 3.5? (I've run etc-update to ensure that no config file updates are outstanding.) Is this possibly a path issue? If 3.3 is in the path instead of or before 3.5 in the environment that kdm runs under, 3.3 would probably load instead of 3.5.

OK, just grepped etc for /kde/3.3 and found that 3.3 is added to the path in /etc/profile.env. The warning in that file lead me to man env-update, which pointed me to the /etc/env.d directory. There is a file in there called 47kdepaths-3.3.1, which is apparently the offending party. Is it safe to simply delete the file? More importantly, why is it still there after I unmerged kde 3.3? And is this what is causing kdm to load 3.3? The 3.5 version of the kdepaths file in /etc/env.d is prefixed with 45. I assume that the files are processed from the lowest to the highest, in which case 3.5 should be in the path before 3.3, no matter which user is running. 3.5 appears first in the line in /etc/profile.env. Looking back over this message, I see that equery told me that kde-base/kde-env-3-r4 (0) was loaded. Is this the correct version? Is there a 3.5 version that's still masked or something? OK, my head hurts now. I think I'll just wait and see if any of the fine participants of this list can shed a bit of light into the dusky shadows where I find myself treading. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
