[gentoo-user] Polymake Ebuild and general questions
Hi all,
I've written an ebuild for a math-software called polymake
(www.math.tu-berlin.de/polymake).
You find it attached. You have to digest it yourself to use.
(ebuild polymake-2.3.ebuild digest)
Maybe some people could test it (on amd64 for instance...).
Now some questions:
1.) The Program uses non-autotools self made configuration via make
configure. Currently the Ebuild will ask questions to the user, which I
want to prevent. How can i get around this?
Is there some Bash trick to answer all questions with Enter ?
2.) The program needs to be rebuild after an upgrade of dev-lang/perl.
How can i implement this in the ebuild ?
3.) Is there any chance that, after testing, this will land in the
portage tree ? How can I do this,
-email to dev-mailinglist?
-bugzilla ?
- ... ???
thanks
Tom

[gentoo-user] Via vb7001 mini-itx vrs Gentoo
Hello, I just bought a via vb7001 mini-itx: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=490#spec or http://tinyurl.com/364jg3 I did manage to get Gentoo installed on it, however while everything was compiling I read the docs for the bios to get the CRT and Composite to work. A few ebuilds didn't compile, always the same ones, looking for i486 glibc. Thinking (still not entirely sure, but it seems logical to me) that I used the x86 stage3 rather than the 686 stage3 I decided to do a clean install. So I rebooted it, changed the bios to get CRT and Composite to work (and they do), and to reinstall and it died immediately after loading the kernel from the 2007.0 minimal cd. Tried gentoo-nofb, nada, tried gentoo-nofb noapic, nada. So, I decided that I just screwed something up in the BIOS so did the jumper thing as described in the docs to reset the bios to factory defaults. It booted CRT only. Then I carefully set only the settings that I thought were necessary to get composite and CRT to work. It booted and I got this: http://www.hellburner.com/kernel_oops_VB7001/ while fscking the partition. I thought, ok, so I killed the install, wrong stage3, live and learn, reboot, reinstall. So I rebooted but now whenever I try to mkfs.ext3 it locks up and displays garbage on the screen like a busted atari. So, I tried the pin trick. Same result. mkfs starts up, formats the first 1/3 or so of the partition (60gig) and belches out atari. I've had Gentoo running on my PII and my athlon64 3000+ just fine for quite some time and have reinstalled them several times when the cruft gets out of control. I let it sit for a few hours and then decided to run memtest86. Memtest86 ran for slightly more than a second then I got atari. I don't have anything else that accepts that type of ram so I have no way to isolate it. Any ideas? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4.0.0
Now to spend the next couple days downloading all the KDE 4.0 stuff. Stinking dial-up. :-@ That will take a lng while. Most KDE4 packages are far larger than there KDE3 counterparts. Just as an example: kdebase-3.3.8.tar.bz2 was 24MB. Now we have three kdebase tarballs: kdebase 3.9MB kdebase-runtime 46MB kdebase-workspace29MB Good luck with dialup! Thanks for the reminder If anyone on this mailing list isn't able to grab the gentoo sources in a reasonable amount of time (ie. dialup) I'm willing to copy and burn to cdrw or dvdrw anything you desire... Just ask me via my email address. What I prefer to do, is work with users that are in the USA and are willing to swap disks or at least give me a $1.00 or $2.00 to cover material and shipping. That said, if you're really financially strapped... I'll assume all costs involved... Whatever... I'm easy. Cheers and May the Penguin Be Kind to You. P.S. Kde 4.0 is a real looker.

Re: [gentoo-user] Via vb70001 mini-itx vrs Gentoo
IF the BIOS gives you the option of changing the RAM timings, I would make them all as large as they can go (slowest timings for RAM.) I'm assuming that your RAM timing is done by default now, and while that is right most of the time, you can't go wrong with setting them up manually. If memtest passes with the slowest timings, then I would tighten them until memtest makes it barf up ATARI and then back off until you reach a stable area. Another way to do this is to look on the side of your RAM and see if it lists the timings. If it does, great, set the timings to those manually in the BIOS, if it doesn't, refer to previous guess and check method. -Hal Neil Bothwick wrote: On Sun, 20 Jan 2008 11:33:04 -0600 (CST), list-catcher wrote: I just bought a via vb7001 Good luck with getting the CN700 graphics to work stably :( -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Leaving the defaults in place, if power fails while composing a msg, the surviving .swp files wb preserved in /tmp , but only if you don't set WIPE_TMP=yes . If you set that to yes, when you reboot after the power failure, the .swp back-up wb lost. You need to change .muttrc to include 'set tmpdir=/var/tmp', which should always survive a reboot (acc to POSIX). -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Via vb70001 mini-itx vrs Gentoo
Hmm, I find that surprising, especially since the new $200 PC at Sprawl-Mart is based on their C7 processor. Although I have heard many issues with trying to get certain, additional, items to work with the gPC. The main one being no modem... I once owned a motherboard based on a VIA chipset, worst thing ever... So I got rid of that and went for a board with an NVidia chipset :) -Hal Neil Walker wrote: Hal Martin wrote: IF the BIOS gives you the option of changing the RAM timings, It's got nothing to do with RAM timings and everything to do with the fact that VIA couldn't care less about Linux users.

So by the time you get to downloading the last package, everything but that last package has already been compiled and installed (for a very slow connection.
