[gentoo-user] from gcc4.0.2 to gcc4.1.1
Hi! Everyone! Last night i emerge world and update gcc from 4.0.2 to the 4.1.1 one,glibc to version 2.8.*. I just want to know whether i should emerge -e system -e world or not after i update to gcc4.1.1. You know, it's need such a long time!And i am not sure whether my gentoo will be OK if i don' t emerge -e system -e world! Can you give me some advices? -- wcw -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] kde-meta minus toys, games, etc
Yes, that is normal. The KDE ebuilds are 'split' now, one monolithic ebuild is equivalent to a few dozen split ebuilds. Each individual app or library has it's own ebuild.

[gentoo-user] Re: dangerous to emerge --depclean
I just can't understand why emerge -- depclean such a dangerous command can exist or i do it in a wrong way(although i think i am right). Have you seen the big fat warning that says emerge --depclean may damage your system ? --depclean is a nice service for advanced users. It's nothing for beginners. You should know, why it does - and how it does what it does. Well, --depclean start with all the packages in your world-file (/var/lib/portage/world) and then it visits all the dependencies and the dependencies of the dependencies of the packages. All the packages, that are installed but that are not in the world file or not a dependency, these packages are removed. --depclean _may_ remove packages that are still in use, because of use-flags were changed, faulty ebuilds, ... So use it with care. Does this ever happened to you? No, i'm using it with much much care. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[gentoo-user] FreeBSD equivalent features?
Hi, I'm new to Gentoo. I come from FreeBSD. I have to run Gentoo in this particular case because I need an asterisk box and asterisk runs better on Linux than FreeBSD. That being said, I must say that I am very impressed with Gentoo. It's far superior to RedHat, which was the last Linux experience I had. What I'm looking for is freebsd equivalent features in Gentoo. There are three that I'm really looking for: 1) periodic(8) -- run periodic system functions. runs daily, weekly, monthly and security scripts. These scripts do everything from check rejected emails to backing up the passwd file. It's also got a local facility where I can put my own scripts in. It's run out of cron and emails the output of the periodic output nice and clean. I understand that I can manually manufacture the equivalent scripts, but I was hoping there was something similar out there. 2) pkg_version -- summarize installed versions of packages. Outputs what newer ports are available to what versions are actually installed. I've looked through the emerge and ebuild docs, but I can't find anything that operates the same way. 3) portaudit(1) -- system to check installed packages for known vulnerabilities.

Sorry to pester with this but I've worn out my google fingers and gmane search with this one. I'm looking for a developmental package for linux that is an image processor and web gallery sort of tool. It was mentioned in a thread I started here sometime ago but cannot be dredged up... at least not in any usable time frame. It was a tar.gz package but not in our portage. It started with l (letter ell) I'm sure and has a full blown web site. But I will be d_ if I can find or remember it. It is fairly new, like maybe within last 2 yrs. I'm starting to sound like a quiz show host so will leave it at that... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Daemons log on Gentoo
Hi, I can't find /var/log/daemon... Every time a service is stopped or started I want to log it on /dev/log/daemon. In addition, I can't see it on /var/log/message. I tried to stop apache for instance and the system didn't log this event in /var/log/message, why? Leandro. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't know if this occurs in practice. These examples are admittedly rather comtrived. My google search result (posted a few msgs ago) gave the three step sequence you quoted above. I agree that your proposed two step procedure is more likely to give better results. Is the following modification of yours better or worse. It does seem to cover an extra case, but may be too complicated to put in a wiki page When A is blocking B, the normal thing to do is to unmerge A, and then execute again the command that reported the blockage. This command is normally something like 'emerge -vaDu world'. If the package you unmerged is still needed, it will often automatically get remerged. However, if A was originally in world and not depended upon by anything else, it will not be remerged. If A is still needed it must be explicitly emerged. (With the, possibly updated, B now merged the ebuild of A may behave differently so that no blockage occurs.) allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
