I also have this bad feeling :( Even w/o looking deeper into the system, just as an normal user's view, it became worse in recent years.

It's not trivial to get out of this ;-o One little step out could be the OSS-QM project (http://oss-qm.metux.de/) It collects fixes for a lot packages and makes them accessible in 100% automated ways. So in a way it can be seen as an kind of overlay against the upstream. Most of the patches are things that upstream's tend to forget but importand for fully automated builds (eg. proper relocation, clean feature switching, fixing buildfiles, pkg-config, etc) - they do NOT harm the core functionality. So exactly what the vast majority of distro's patches do, but in generic (distro agnostic) ways. In recent years, I've announced this several times, but nobody really interested in it. Maybe now the right time had come ? ;-o Users seems to be the last thing on the higher ups mind. Yes, I also had such feelings when I was around @ -dev: It seemed I was disliked, since I was questioning some common dev practices and no being an official dev by myself, and I never would be allowed to become one, since I was disliked ;-O (So I left -dev and focused on my own overlay - not caring about the devs anymore). I love my Gentoo but I would like to see someone step up and get some things done and some decisions made, even those we may never know about. Actually, I don't think it's just some strong leader missing, but an lack of discusion culture between devs and plain users.

Re: [gentoo-user] No kernel boot after inserting more ram
An alternative to running memtest (which is quite easy to do, I might add) would be to remove the original RAM and see if the computer boots with the new RAM only. Alternatively, you could just run memtest, as it is included with many BIOSs now. It doesn't take long to identify problems, if there are any. I find that test #5 is the best test for finding problems, however it tends to keep you in the dark until it's finished the test. -Hal Neil Bothwick wrote: On Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:58:59 +, José Pedro Saraiva wrote: I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the RAM, How?

* James [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, 4. Formalize a process where others (non devs) can build, store and maintain ebuilds that are not blessed by the devs, so individuals can easily share their work with the larger Gentoo community. Isn't this what several overlay projects (eg. Sunrise) are meant for ? IMHO, Sunrise suffers from it's size - lot's of smaller overlays could be the way to go. Maybe differenciate between bleeding-edge and production overlays ? AFAIK, the current overlay technique could be improved to make using *dozens* of overlays much easier. Some points I'm missing: per-overlay masking direct overlay selection when emerging. I'm using several overlays and I'd like to have exact control where specific ebuilds come from on updates. For example I have to change a few ebuilds from the main tree and take care that nothing get mixed up - updates from the main tree should not override older versions from my overlay, but I need to be informed about them. If one choses such and ebuild there on their own. The gentoo devs should develop a semantic where folks not officially part of the devs can maintain a package or two, rather than making ebuilds for obsolescence, unilaterally. Maybe a combination of overlays and proxy maintenance ? 6. Provide resources to the gentoo-embedded group to assist them in their efforts to assimilate embedded-gentoo into gentoo so that lots of ordinary users can build and experiment with embedded gentoo. Actually, as an embedded guy, I don't think that Gentoo (with it's current models) is really suitable for embedded systems (- small devices, exotic platforms, ...). The concepts are fundamental opposite. For example, if you're not always crosscompiling within sysroot, you're seriously wrong for embedded systems ;-P I really doubt that it's really worth trying to make (current) Gentoo suitable for embedded systems, as major concepts are opposite and it would cause us big headache. BUT: I really think that an major distro like Gentoo should cooperate with embedded folks in an meta project like OSS-QM. For example, most of the collected patches could be a bit more generalized and then go to OSS-QM, while Gentoo could get it's directly from there. cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

There is a list of the monos in the url I posted in another mail to this thread. Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. Obviously my most current info is out of date. But why was that decision taken? I understand keeping it for kde-3.5.x users, but kde-4 is essentially an entirely different product, and the -meta ebuilds do everything the monolithic ones ever did. The configure steps do add time though, but other than that everything seems to work the same Well, it wasn't really my decision. ;) But I can say that a pro is that it provides the users with a choice and the maintainance overhead when compared to only doing splits isn't really all that big.

The tendencies of chasing away users might be an kind of self-protection against the more (end)user friendly points of view found in other distros (eg. SuSE). Also, drobbins continued his attacks even after explained SEVERAL times that the stuff ciaranm was doing was a) wanted and b) helpfull and c) supervised by devs. Without knowing the details, both parties might have their (subjectively) valid reasons (speaking of the ideas/concepts, not the way they've been expressed ;-o). Maybe the whole project should be more modularized, so forking becomes much easier and still doesn't produce too much duplicate works. A few ideas: * bugfixing on individual packages should happen directly in the upstream (maybe with OSS-QM as source overlay), not in Gentoo itself. * package's build/install logic should be entirely moved into the package (so that ebuilds mostly do nothing more than calling the package's build system) * the QM process could be split into several parts: a) per-package (distro agnostic) b) per ebuild (aka the package w/ portage) c) the ebuild within (official) Gentoo On a quick view this looks like a lot more work, but in longer terms it would reduce the overall work (including dozens of other distros around the world). cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] xorg / keyboard
Hi, You have hal-0.5.10 installed and it's hotplugging devices. To disable hotplugging, put Option AutoAddDevices false in Section ServerFlags.

Re: [gentoo-user] Net / dhcp (miss)behaviour
I wonder if my similar problem is related to what you report here: I am using dhcpcd and ifplug with my ADSL router, which acts as the dhcp server on my LAN. For some reason ifplug does not always manage to get an IP address from the router and I end up with an APIPA address. /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop/start gets it going again. This problem only occurs if I disconnect and then reconnect the ethernet cable. No such problem exists when I boot the machine with the cable already connected to the NIC. I haven't changed timeouts or anything else from the dhcpcd defaults. I have always attributed this problem to a somewhat slow dhcp server on the router. It is similar, with a difference that /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart doesn't help. I tried enlarging timeout but with no help. As a note: WinXP machines do not have any such problem. Even though they may end up with a APIPA address, they will in minute or so drop it and acquire a 10.10.10.XXX domain address from the router. dhcpcpd does not seem to have this flexibility. I noticed that in most cases after I boot to windows, when I reboot back to linux I can't connect. When I reboot back to windows, net is up. When it fails I noticed that it send DHCP requests, but doesn't get a response. I tried dhclient, dhcpd and pump, and the results are allways the same. It happens in the evenings, when internet traffic is high. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] No kernel boot after inserting more ram
Following your replies I've done the following, in an attempt to isolate the problem: (memory #1 - old memory, memory #2 - new memory) - Runned memtest on both memories with 0 errors - Booted with both memories... kernel hang - Booted with memory #1 on slot #1 successfully - Booted with memory #1 on slot #2 successfully - Booted with memory #2 on slot #1 successfully - Booted with memory #2 on slot #2 successfully - Booted with both memories on windows successfully For some reason, my kernel hangs if I have 2 GB of RAM installed.

[gentoo-user] Cowon iAudio u5
(I crosspost it here from the forums because I have no answers there...) Hi, I'm considering buying this mp3 player: http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/iaudio/u5/#specs What I don't understand, is if it's Gentoo-friendly. Cowon x5 and i7 units, apart from being high quality players, used to be very Linux-friendly AFAIK, and they even nicely support Ogg Vorbis audio. However the x5 is discontinued and the i7 looks a bit too costly for me. The u5 seems nice, unfortunately it doesn't support Ogg, but apart from it looks cool. However it says: Supports Windows Media DRM 10, MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) [...] USB Data Transfer Support for MAC OS (9.X, 10.X) and Linux (v2.2 and higher) From the PDF manual it seems to be nice, in the meaning that you can just drag-and-drop mp3 files like on a USB drive, and it will play them. But if it's so, why it talks about MTP and Windows DRM (brrr!) ? Basically, I don't want to find myself with an Ipod-like brick where I can copy files on, but won't play them. Is some Gentooer using the iAudio u5? What do you advise me to look for in understanding this issue? Thanks, m. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Enrico Weigelt [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Part of the problmem might be too many quick+dirty hacks, another part's the philosophy of taking evrything as it comes from the upstream. It's not trivial to get out of this ;-o First off, your comments seem to be some of the more sensible here. Not that others are senseless just not much actual `what to do' content has come through. I'd hazard a guess that you may have hit a bigger problem than your comment indicates. I'm pretty sure there would be great pressure to use `quick and dirty hacks' to get stuff done when devs are nearly always overworked. One little step out could be the OSS-QM project (http://oss-qm.metux.de/) It collects fixes for a lot packages and makes them accessible in 100% automated ways. So in a way it can be seen as an kind of overlay against the upstream. Most of the patches are things that upstream's tend to forget but importand for fully automated builds (eg. proper relocation, clean feature switching, fixing buildfiles, pkg-config, etc) - they do NOT harm the core functionality. So exactly what the vast majority of distro's patches do, but in generic (distro agnostic) ways. The theory sounds very sensible. After looking at that page and some of the links briefly it wasn't clear to me where this is being used. I see a very short list of pkgs being worked on.. and guessing it is because of being short handed there. But what wasn't clear is how work comes in and where it goes when it goes out. Are some distros offering these overhauled pkgs or what? (Please excuse me if I'm missing obvious things on the pages) PS-The `help' link under `navigation' brings up what appears to be something it is not intended to, and may even be a hack on those pages or something.
