2005-10-12 Thread Rob
Hi all, I have done the alsa configuration before, so I am kind of at a loss as to why nothing is working. I believe that I followed the Gentoo Linux Alsa Guide to the letter, but it was confusing. I had difficulty figuring out which parts of the text applied to different ways of

Seriously, I purposely do not clean out distfiles because I don't want to refetch them every single time an -rn update comes out. But I've been noticing that /usr/portage/disfiles has been cleaning itself. I don't have any of the 'clean' type features set, and I don't have any cron tasks

Are you running http-accelerater and repcacheman on one? http-replicator, not accelerator, but it does run repcacheman on a monthly basis (on the 30th). The cleanups appear to be more frequent than that, however, so I didn't really consider it to be the cause. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org
