[gentoo-user] Mod_suphp masked?

[James Homuth]

Is there any particular reason why for the x86 arch, the Apache 
mod_suphp ebuild's been masked? And any means of keeping track of 
things like that without periodically trying to install something 
only to be told it's not happening? I'm looking into ways of security 
my Apache/PHP instalation, and moving it out of /var/www and into 
user space seems the best way to go about doing that. But per the 
Apache documentation that'll break Suexec, so I was eyeing up 
mod_suphp instead. Am I looking in the wrong direction?

 Q: You said I could install KDE 3.5 and KDE 4.0, but
 they block each other!
 
 A: You will need to install the latest revision (not
 version) of kde-base/kdebase (if you use monolithic
 ebuilds) or kde-base/kdebase-startkde (if you use
 split ebuilds). These versions include patches to
 allow multiple versions of KDE to coexist. 

It's quite clear, you need the latest revision of KDE 3 to use it with
KDE4. The latest is 3.5.8 qhich is why 3.5.7-r6 is blocking.

Ehmm, yes. NFS-docs approve this.

From a programmer's perspective this number is still odd because it's
one more than can fit into signed 16bit int and and 32767 less than
unsigned 16bit int... maybe they had other reasons.

Well, although neither info- nor man-pages mention it, I've found an old
man-page [1] which states that these values default to 1024, therefore
setting it to 32768 seems the best choice.

[gentoo-user] simple web server with content negotiation feature

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello all.

I am looking for a web server for my static website in-developing 
projects. I just want the basic features and easy-to-configure. However 
what I mean basic looks a bit different than other people's. I wish
it to be able to do content negotiation (a.k.a. a browser asks for
my_mom and gets my_mom.html.zh or my_mom.html.en depending on
preferred language of the browser). I also wish it can handle HTTP 1.1.

I could not find one. eix -S negotiation didn't get me any result.  
(on the other hand aptitude search ~dnegotiation did suggested me 
fnord can do content negotiation, although it's only partially 
implemented.)

My question is:
1. Can you please suggest some web server that can do content 
   negotiation, besides apache?
2. Can you please tell me how do you usually find out if some
of the packages in portage can do content negotiation?

[gentoo-user] kompozer and arphicfonts

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello.

I was a Gentoo user some 2.5 years ago and was very fond of it because 
it updates frequently and includes newer versions of applications into 
portage faster than other distributions. Later I switched away to
Ubuntu for working environment reasons (colleagues are using Ubuntu and
I got support / communication easier).

Now I just switch back to Gentoo and discovered, well, I am not sure
but looks a bit lag behind on updating portage. I only noticed two
examples:

1. Development for NVU wysiwyg editor has stalled for some 
   years, the other project continued its development called 
   kompozer. Ubuntu has it there but I cannot find it in 
   Gentoo.
2. The other package arphicfonts are not developed for years 
   neither, a continue effort is the CJK Unifont project. In 
   Gentoo still there are only old packages. The new project 
   produce Chinese font that is used as default Chinese font in 
   Ubuntu.

Both new projects started after I switched away from Gentoo some 
2 years ago, so it seems Gentoo didn't catch up. Maybe I am completely 
wrong: I am sensative to these packages just because I am a Chinese
user and these two packages happen to improved for Chinese users a lot; 
meanwhile there might be a lot other packages newly included in Gentoo 
but overlooked by other distributions. But just how do you feel 
generally?  Is the portage keeping following up slower then before?

By the way I can compile these packages myself and I can contribut 
ebuilds when I got some free time (e.g. in the coming holiday). I am 
just a bit curious on how everything is generally going on in Portage.

They end in '**'. This is no longer necessary for x86 or amd64. Other arches

negotiation is not a recognised USE flag:

global use flags (searching: negotiation)

no matching entries found

local use flags (searching: negotiation)

no matching entries found

therefore I am not sure that any packages in portage use it.  (Apache uses the

www-servers/lighttpd, or www-servers/thttpd?

   2. Can you please tell me how do you usually find out if some

Sorry, can't help with this.  Perhaps others more knowledgeable in the 
features of different http servers can advise here.  I would think that it is 
a matter of searching in their respective project websites and then reading 
their documentation for each package under /usr/portage/www-servers/.  
Alternative, emerge, try it out, unmerge and so on.

BTW, I am not sure if some PHP scripting would offer this facility to simpler 
http servers, which do not support it natively like apache.

HTH.

 Do I really have to unmerge kde-env and then emerge
 119M just to get my sound card back?
 
 Maxim
 

No, not really. Not all the packages are needed just to get your sound
card back; but all the packages will be needed at some point or
another if you want your desktop to be functional. It is probably a
good time to 'emerge --update --deep world'.

=kde-base/kdeaddons-3.5.2-r1 no longer exists in the tree, which is why
nothing satisfies it. You could use the X flag (or whatever revdep

Re: [gentoo-user] audio gone!

As soon as you update KDE to a not years-old-version, kllike 3.5.8, all 
your 'can't satisfy' problems will be gone. As a bonus, all KDE related expat 
errors will be gone too.

So start updating. Your box is almost hopelessly outdated.

[gentoo-user] Qt3 and Qt3support

[Willie Wong]

What actually does the qt3support USE flag do on the qt4 ebuild? Does
it enable some sort of compatibility library for qt3? For example, I
want djvu with the djview viewer built, which requires the qt3 flag
set for the djvu ebuild. Currently I have both qt3 and qt4 installed
on my system. Does the qt3support flag allow me to keep only qt4 on my
box, when some applications depend on the qt3 libraries?

Thanks

[gentoo-user] Apache build error...

[Benjamen R. Meyer]

I'm trying to update the software on my system, among which is Apache,
going from 2.2.6-r5 to 2.2.6-r7. However, I am running into a problem
with it.

Apparently the old install was using the apache2-builtin-mods file; so I
followed the documentation at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/apache-upgrading.xml to convert it over to
the APACHE2_MODULES and APACHE2_MPMS - but it is still giving me the
same error - that mime, dir, and host_authz are disabled.

After searching on-line, I found the post below which the user solved
the issue by adding mime, dir, and host_authz to their package.use flag
for apache2. However, that did not solve it for me.

Below is the output of emerge -vuDN captured via script, where I
stopped via CTRL+C after it posted its message claiming that the build
would be unsupported. After that I cat'd my /etc/make.conf file in its
entirely (not long yet), and also ran:

cat /etc/portage/package.use | grep apache2

To try to add the relevant lines from /etc/portage/package.use.

I'm at a loss of what to do. Any help or direction would be greatly
appreciated.


TIA,

Ben

Yes, the Qt3Support provides classes that ease porting an application
from Qt 3 to Qt 4.
So some apps will work with QT4 with this, but some apps may still want QT3...

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache build error...

[BRM]

Ok so my line below of:

cat /etc/portage/package.use | grep apache2

was wrong; if you noticed from the text at the end, I really ran:

cat /etc/portage/package.use | grep apache

However, I did follow the directions at the URL, but changing
APACHE2_MODULES to APACHE_MODULES make it work...hopefully everything
else (namely Subversion) will continue to work...

If this was not the right then, and I have to remerge...well, what
would be the right thing? If is is the right then shouldn't the page be
updated? I just pulled the command set off of it from Code Listin 1.1
and ran it.

TIA,

Ben

 I think the Logitech Quickcam is the general answer to that question. I
 think the cheap one is around 30-40US, though.

Cool.  I'm anxious to try it out.  Thanx again.

I have a Logitech Quickcam and it is fully supported. I spent 20 € for
it. I use it routinely with aMSN. Very cheap stuff however -the iSight
on my Macbook Pro beats it hands down, however it is not so fully
supported :( .

  The -march option may or may not invoke mmx, sse, sse2, etc in the
CFLAGS line but it definitely does *NOT* invoke them in the USE variable.

  I have mmx, sse, sse2, and a few AMD-specific options in my USE
variable.  Can you show us the output of the command...

grep flags /proc/cpuinfo

  Then we can see what to add.  If you are *NOT* taking advantage of the
available extensions, you won't get the available oomph out of your cpu.
It's not so much a matter of raw speed as ability to do complex
calculations in the chipset microcode, rather than painfully emulating
it in software.  One of the features of Gentoo is customizing your build
to get the most out of your cpu.  Use it... within reason.

  mplayer also takes a few custom flags.  In /etc/portage/package.use I
have the entry

media-video/mplayer custom-cflags i8x0 real 3dnowext mmxext

  With an Intel cpu, you obviously don't want 3dnowext, but there may
be other stuff worth using.  To find out what's available, use...

grep mplayer /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc | less

Try this:  equery list eselect.  You have a version that is less than
that specific version.  Example:  eselect-1.0.2 or something to that effect.

Clue is this:  =app-admin/eselect-1.0.3  Note the = in there?

Hope that helps.

[gentoo-user] Where is this GLIBCXX_3.4.9 coming from?

[felix]

I can't upgrade coreutils because it complains like this:

 Unpacking coreutils-6.10.tar.lzma to 
 /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r1/work
lzma: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libstdc++.so.6: version 
`GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by lzma)
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

ldd confirms something is fishy:

# ldd /usr/bin/lzma
/usr/bin/lzma: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libstdc++.so.6: version 
`GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/bin/lzma)
linux-gate.so.1 =  (0xe000)
libstdc++.so.6 = /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libstdc++.so.6 
(0xb7e6f000)
libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7e49000)
libgcc_s.so.1 = /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libgcc_s.so.1 
(0xb7e3d000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d08000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f97000)

But I don't have that version hanging around.

# gcc-config -l 
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2
 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 *

I tried running

fix_libtool_files.sh 3.4.9

and it finds nothing to do.

I have remerged lxma-utils and get the same results.

I have several other packages with similar porblems, all related to
3.4.9.  Where the heck is gcc getting the 3.4.9 nonsense from?  Have I
missed some gcc upgrade step somewhere?  Should I just demerge 4.1.2
and see what else breaks?
