[gentoo-user] ebuild package recompile
Currently I find I am doing a lot of patching across multiple systems to get the functionality I require. One of the more anoying problems is that ebuild package clean removes all the existing package. There does not seem to be an equivalent to make clean in the ebuild command. Is there a way to just make clean a package, but leave all user patches in place so a ebuild package compile can recompile after changes ? BillK -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] How does Portage prioritze emerges in emerge world?
OK, I take it back. I said that the situation of upgrading a kernel with the 'symlink' USE flag active occurring at the same time as a (particular) program needing to compile against a configured kernel was not likely to occur all that often, but I was wrong. It's happened again today, but with a different program than the ones I normally keep an eye on. The good thing is that I (think I) see what the problem is. The problem is that Portage emerges the new kernel before (almost) everything else, without regard for whether the 'symlink' USE flag is active, and whether or not any of the other programs proposed to emerge need to compile against a configured kernel source-- or rather, the currently-running kernel, which the symlink most likely pointed to before Portage changed it via a previous emerge. Honestly, there's really no reason (that I can see) to emerge a kernel source before everything else, since the kernel source is useless until at the very least configured, and preferably compiled and installed, and since you're in the middle of an emerge -uwhatever world, you can't reasonably configure and compile the new source until the entire operation is finished. Yeah, OK, technically you can, but it's not really something that an ordinary person would do, I think. And if the 'symlink' USE flag is active, emerging the kernel sources before everything else-- which may include packages that must compile against a configured kernel, with the assumption that the /usr/src/symlink points to such a kernel, which it no longer does because the symlink has been changed during a previous emerge and you have not had time to configure the newly-emerged kernel-- is a real problem. I just had to open another term, su to root, run MC to change the symlink-- and got it wrong because I had a second unconfigured kernel (2.6.14-r2; 2.6.14-r3 was being installed) that I forgot I had not yet upgraded to), so had to change the link again to the *real* running kernel (2.6.14) and emerge --resume. And of course I'll have to eventually change the symlink back manually in order to actually manage the new kernel. Which means I have to remember to do that-- which is not the point of having the 'symlink' USE flag active. It seems to me that this could all be avoided if Portage emerged a new kernel *last* in the list if the 'symlink' USE flag is active for kernel emerges-- then everything in the list that needed a configured kernel would have one (the currently-running kernel), the emerge would complete normally, and the symlink would be changed at the end of the procedure so that my next operation could be to upgrade the kernel, which seems to me a reasonable and ordinary order of operation (emerge -u** world, then configure and compile new kernel and run module-rebuild).

Also, it seems desireable to compile against the latest kernel that is installed. . OK, I understand this to some extent (meaning I get it that Portage is not going to be revised in this way), but I must question that last statement, it seems desirable to compile against the latest kernel that is installed. The latest kernel that is *installed* (as opposed to the latest kernel whose source is emerged, regardless of whether it's configured, compiled, or installed) is the one I'm booted into, and while I presumably intend/want to upgrade to the newly emerged kernel at some reasonably soon point, I don't necessarily want to do it *right that minute*, nor am I necessarily going to avoid rebooting until such time as I have installed the upgraded kernel. Perhaps it would make sense to have a default kernel config that is used to configure the kernel sources automatically (make oldconfig; make modules_prepare) after a new kernel is installed? Something like this could be done ebuild postinst phase (when symlink is created). It is planned for future versions of portage to have pre/post phase hooks, which will allow users to define actions such as this via /etc/portage/bashrc: This sounds great, but what about the kernel I'm booted into, against which the module will *not* be compiled, if I have to reboot before actually configuring/compiling/installing the new kernel? The kernel modules will not be upgraded for that kernel (because the upgrades compiled only against the future kernel), and while that won't precisely break the old kernel (hopefully, since the old modules should still be good, though I cannot vouch for all circumstances), it means I don't have the upgraded modules for the currently-running kernel. After all, module-rebuild will re-build all the modules against a newly-compiled kernel; I don't need to build some limited subset of said modules against the new kernel source at the time I emerge the new kernel source, since I will build all of them at the end of the operations which make the new kernel actually available for use. What I do want is to build the upgraded modules against the currently-running kernel, which I expect to be using for some short additional period of time (until I compile and install the new kernel, which may be hours or days in the future). It would be nice to then have the future kernel source prepared for compilation and installation automatically (by redirecting the symlink), so that said compilation and installation goes on a next-to-do, asap list of sorts, but I'm not essentially forced to drop everything in order to compile the new kernel source *right now* in order to use the upgraded modules, which may be mission-critical in some respect (if the upgrade fixes functionality that I need working). Maybe the issue is really that the 'symlink' USE flag is obsolete in some respect, since it appears that automatic redirection of the /usr/src/linux symlink can often cause more problems than it solves, since the user cannot really know ahead of time whether a kernel module is going to upgrade in the same operation as a new kernel source is going to be emerged (which is not the same as installing a new kernel, of course). I guess I'll turn off the USE flag and manage the symlink directly, but it seems like there ought to be a better way. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.portage.devel/1107 Thanks for the link.

I guess I'll go for option 1, but the long and the short of it is that complete automation is unavailable and my only choice is what I prefer to manage manually. OK, then. sigh Thanks.

I would imagine this is probably not an easy task though. Jeff maybe there should be some options when updating and emerge tries to bring in new slot, see, now i have qt3 and qt4, qt3 was emerged as kde dependence but nothing depends on qt4. so there waste of time and space unless i don't need qt4 for development or whatever. am i right? martins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Check this thread out on Gentoo forums- I posted links to a lot of good info. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-401591-start-0.html With ext3, you might want to set the dir_index feature when you format, as this allows diretory B=Trees to be used, and really helps with the big performance drawback this FS has. This might be your best bet for a webserver- rock solid, really good speed (with the dir_index option), and virtually no fragmentation over time. If you deal with lots of really large files, xfs might serve your circumstance better, as it performs much better. It really depends on what you are using your system for, and what types of files/directories reside on each partition. For example, reiserfs (and R4) do much better than the others with lots of really small files. But as stated, plan on doing periodic tarball partition and save on another media/reformat partition/copy back all data procedures to defrag the reiserfs partition to maintain top performance. There is as yet no decent repacker for reiserfs that I know of. This is contrary to what most people believe about all Linux file systems, but for reiserfs, this is becoming an accepted fact.

There are a couple of groups that you need to add your users to. - dialout and uucp. Reading the message at the end of emerging wvdial tells you this.
