[gentoo-user] Portage and sets
Hi I'm wanting to experiment a little with the new sets feature of portage. I have searched around the forums, even looked at gentoo wiki and read a few man pages. I can not find a good link to a how to for sets. I would like to have a couple things if someone has them. 1) a link to a good how to. 2) could someone send me a copy of a sets file for something like KDE or something. Just something I can use for a template if you would. Thanks much. Oh, yea, I may be about to break something. I got my backups up to date tho. o_O Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] How to dim the display brightness

Re: [gentoo-user] Portage and sets
Hi again, One more note. I recommend you use a prefix for your own sets, to avoid conflicts with official or overlay sets. ie. I call my kde-3.5 set: ajb-kde-3.5 While portage almost certainly has a system for handling conflicting sets (at a guess, probably user overlay official tree, the same way everything else goes), this removes any ambiguity.

I got my backups up to date tho. o_O Sets are easy :-) For kde, you get a ton of set files if you add the kde- testing overlay. For instance, the kde-4.2 set looks like this: $ cat /var/portage/local/layman/kde-testing/sets/kde-4.2 # We don't include kdesdk on the global set kde-base/kdelibs:4.2 kde-base/kdepimlibs:4.2 kde-base/kate:4.2 kde-base/kdeplasma-addons:4.2 kde-base/kde-l10n:4.2 @kdeaccessibility-4.2 @kdeadmin-4.2 @kdeartwork-4.2 @kdebase-4.2 @kdeedu-4.2 @kdegames-4.2 @kdegraphics-4.2 @kdemultimedia-4.2 @kdenetwork-4.2 @kdepim-4.2 @kdetoys-4.2 @kdeutils-4.2 #for developers #...@kdebindings-4.2 #...@kdesdk-4.2 #...@kdewebdev-4.2 So it's nothing more than a bunch of conventional portage atoms, one per line. I made some of my own for enlightenment-17. The main set is e17 and looks like so: $ cat /etc/portage/sets/e17 @e17-libs @e17-apps @e17-modules @e17-odds A set can include other sets, that's what the leading '@' does. From the above I also have a set called 'e17-libs' which looks like so: $ cat /etc/portage/sets/e17-libs dev-db/edb media-libs/imlib2 dev-libs/eina dev-libs/eet x11-libs/evas x11-libs/e_dbus x11-libs/ecore dev-libs/efreet dev-libs/embryo media-libs/edje media-libs/epsilon x11-libs/esmart media-libs/emotion x11-libs/etk x11-libs/ewl dev-libs/exml dev-util/enhance Obviously, those ebuilds must all exist. I get to maintain them by myself and make sure they work, but that has nothing to do with sets :-) If you make your own sets, dump the files into /etc/portage/sets/ and emerge them like so: emerge -av @e17 Portage will record that you installed a set and remembers it, but the package names do not go into your world file. Think of them as being dependencies of the set, so an update picks up and changes and emerges things as normal. If you find that you need to remove the KDE set, just run 'emerge -C @kde-4.2' and portage will unmerge the whole lot. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] - command line read *.csv create new file
On Monday 23 February 2009, 00:31, Mark Knecht wrote:
Yeah, that's probably almost usable as it is . I tried it with n=3 and
n=10. Worked both times just fine. The initial issue might be (as with
Willie's sed code) that the first line wasn't quite right and required
some hand editing. I'd prefer not to have to hand edit anything as the
files are large and that step will be slow. I can work on that.
But then could you paste an example of such line, so we can see it? The
first line was not special in the sample you posted...
As per the message to Willie it would be nice to be able to drop
columns out but technically I suppose it's not really required. All of
this is going into another program which must at some level understand
what the columns are. If I have extra dates and don't use them that's
probably workable.
Anyway, it's not difficult to add that feature:
BEGIN { FS=OFS=,}
{
r=$NF;NF--
for(i=1;in;i++){
s[i]=s[i+1]
dt[i]=dt[i+1]
if((NR=n)(i==1))printf %s%s,dt[1],OFS
if(NR=n)printf %s%s,s[i],OFS
}
sep=dt[n]=;for(i=1;i=dropcol;i++){dt[n]=dt[n] sep $i;sep=OFS}
sub(^([^,]*,){dropcol},)
s[n]=$0
if(NR=n)printf %s,%s\n, s[n],r
}
There is a new variable dropcol which contains the number of columns to
drop. Also, for the above to work, you must add the --re-interval
command line switch to awk, eg
awk --re-interval -v n=4 -v dropcol=2 -f program.awk datafile.csv
The down side is the output file is 10x larger than the input file -
roughly - and my current input files are 40-60MB so the output files
will be 600MB. Not huge but if they grew too much more I might get
beyond what a single file can be on ext3, right? Isn't that 2GB or so?
That is strange, the output file could be bigger but not by that
factor...if you don't mind, again could you paste a sample input file
(maybe just some lines, to get an idea...)?

From /var/log/messages I see that the nas0 interface created by br2684ctl is not ready yet when it's needed. I get /etc/init.d/net.nas0[3452]: ERROR: interface nas0 does not exist /etc/init.d/net.nas0[3453]: Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware /etc/init.d/net.nas0[3392]: ERROR: net.nas0 failed to start /etc/init.d/net.ppp0[3454]: ERROR: cannot start net.ppp0 as net.nas0 would not start br2684ctl[3426]: Interface nas0 created sucessfully br2684ctl[3426]: Communicating over ATM 0.8.35, encapsulation: LLC br2684ctl[3426]: Interface configured br2684ctl[3426]: RFC 1483/2684 bridge daemon started which shows that it is ready (only) now. IF I start net.ppp0 afterwards again, the network comes up. So to fix this, I'd like to do some 'sleep' after /usr/bin/br2684ctl has executed. Where is the syntax br2684ctl_nas0= ... explained and how can I insert some 'sleep'?

Yeah, that's probably almost usable as it is . I tried it with n=3 and
n=10. Worked both times just fine. The initial issue might be (as with
Willie's sed code) that the first line wasn't quite right and required
some hand editing. I'd prefer not to have to hand edit anything as the
files are large and that step will be slow. I can work on that.
But then could you paste an example of such line, so we can see it? The
first line was not special in the sample you posted...
As per the message to Willie it would be nice to be able to drop
columns out but technically I suppose it's not really required. All of
this is going into another program which must at some level understand
what the columns are. If I have extra dates and don't use them that's
probably workable.
Anyway, it's not difficult to add that feature:
BEGIN { FS=OFS=,}
{
r=$NF;NF--
for(i=1;in;i++){
s[i]=s[i+1]
dt[i]=dt[i+1]
if((NR=n)(i==1))printf %s%s,dt[1],OFS
if(NR=n)printf %s%s,s[i],OFS
}
sep=dt[n]=;for(i=1;i=dropcol;i++){dt[n]=dt[n] sep $i;sep=OFS}
sub(^([^,]*,){dropcol},)
s[n]=$0
if(NR=n)printf %s,%s\n, s[n],r
}
There is a new variable dropcol which contains the number of columns to
drop. Also, for the above to work, you must add the --re-interval
command line switch to awk, eg
awk --re-interval -v n=4 -v dropcol=2 -f program.awk datafile.csv
Thanks. I'll give that a try later today. I also like Willie's idea
about using cut. That seems pretty flexible without any programming.
The down side is the output file is 10x larger than the input file -
roughly - and my current input files are 40-60MB so the output files
will be 600MB. Not huge but if they grew too much more I might get
beyond what a single file can be on ext3, right? Isn't that 2GB or so?
That is strange, the output file could be bigger but not by that
factor...if you don't mind, again could you paste a sample input file
(maybe just some lines, to get an idea...)?
I'm attaching a small (100 line) data file out of TradeStation. Zipped
it's about 2K. It should expand to about 10K. When I run the command
to get 10 lines put together it works correctly and gives me a file
with 91 lines and about 100K in size. (I.e. - 10x on my disk.)
awk -v n=10 -f awkScript1.awk awkDataIn.csv awkDataOut.csv
No mangling of the first line - that must have been something earlier
I guess. Sorry for the confusion on that front.
One other item has come up as I start to play with this farther down
the tool chain. I want to use this data in either R or RapidMiner to
data mine for patterns. Both of those tools are easier to use if the
first line in the file has column titles. I had originally asked
TradeStation not to output the column titles but if I do then for the
first line of our new file I should actually copy the first line of
the input file N times. Something like
For i=1; read line, write N times, write \n
and then
for i=2 do what we're doing right now.
After I did that I could run it through cut and drop whatever columns
I need to drop, I think... ;-)
This is great help from you all. As someone who doesn't really program
or use the command line too much it's a big advantage. Thanks!

Sets are a replacement for meta-packages, so your set would contain the packages you need. If it did contain kde-meta, then it would install all of KDE, because that is a dependency of kde-meta.

[gentoo-user] Can emerge @live-rebuild only rebuild changed pkgs?
emerge @live-rebuild is great to rebuild the live cvs/svn/git/etc packages, but often times there may have been no changes in that pcackage (already at revision 1234). Is there a way to make it skip rebuild of those? Since there's no point... If you're using KDE-live or something large like that, I think it could save hours of needless rebuilding.
Re: [gentoo-user] How to dim the display brightness
Hi Sebastian,
acpi_os-name = Linux as kernel parameter might help.
Ok, I've changed the grub menu.lst file. After the reboot I will write
if something changes.
and take a look if /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ is present:
this is the kernel interface to set the brightness.
I have it, but running
cho 2 /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
has no effect in the display brightness.
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT
is the appropriate kernel config category to look at in recent kernels.
Yes, that variable is set.
BTW which kernel are you using?
2.6.27-r2
No doubt: the first dimms the videocard output, the latter the LCD.
I didn't know the reasons for this missmatch, thanks a lot for this
brief but useful explanation.
You can use xev to see which keycode is emmitted and then look in your
desktop environment if this is match with some action.
In fact, Fn + dimming keys produces output. Now, to do something
useful, I need to know how to dim the light of the LCD.
Well. it should be somehow applicable, because it is rather generic.
I don't know how to replace this line
echo level ${LEVEL} /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness

/proc/acpi/video/C14B/C160/brightness

thanks. that's a good add.
If I drop columns - and I do need to - then something like how cut
works would be good, but it needs to repeat across all the rows being
used. For instance, if I'm dropping columns 6 12 from a 20 column
wide data set, then I'm dropping 6 12 from all N lines. This is
where using cut after the line is built is difficult as I'm forced to
figure out a list like 6,12,26,32,46,52, etc. Easy to make a mistake
doing that. If I could say something like Drop 6 12 from all rows,
and 1 2 from all rows higher than the first that make up this new
line then that would be great. That's a lot to ask though.
D1,T1,A1,B1,C1,D1,
D2,T2,A2,B2,C2,D2,
D3,T3,A3,B3,C3,D3,
D4,T4,A4,B4,C4,D4,
D5,T5,A5,B5,C5,D5,
In the data above if I drop column A, then I drop it for all rows.
(For instance, A contains 0 and isn't necessary, etc.) Assuming 3
wide I'd get
D1,T1,B1,C1,D1,B2,C2,D2,B3,C3,D3
D2,T2,B2,C2,D2,B3,C3,D3,B4,C4,D4
D3,T3,B3,C3,D3,B4,C4,D4,B5,C5,D5
Making that completely flexible - where I can drop 4 or 5 random
columns - is probably a bit too much work. On the other hand maybe
sending it to cut as part of the whole process, line by lone or
something, is more reasonable? I don't know.
I found a web site to study awk so I'm starting to see more or less
how your example works when I have the code in front of me. Creating
the code out of thin air might be a bit of a stretch for me at this
point though.
thanks for your help!

I just can't recall what it is. Any clues? I'm loosing my little mind over here. :/ Thanks Dale :-) :-) If you have gentoolkit emerged, the command is genlop -r package name. Seriously, it was in the man for genlop, but it's cool, I like being helpful, or at least thinking I am.

My problem was that I couldn't remember the command so I had no clue what man page to look at. Thanks much. Dale :-) :-)

I don't remember the reasons given for that, I think that it is because the versions of portage (2.2_rcx) which support sets are still masked.
