[gentoo-user] How do slots work?
Hi, Gentoo. How do slots work? I mean I've had a look at some ebuilds and see things like this: SLOT=3 , but with no clues as to how this gets used. Is there any handy documentation about this? I've had a look round the usual places, but found nothing. What I really want to do is to try out Gnome 3, to see if it's like what people say it is, but without endangering my current Gnome 2.32.1. If I build Gnome 3, will its executable have a different name? Thanks for the info! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).

If I build Gnome 3, will its executable have a different name? It's not slotted, so that answers your first question. Also, gnome is a *bunch* of executables and libraries, so it's not as simple as renameing gnome-session to gnome-session3. To answer the first, if you have two or more of the same package, say foo, then slots tell portage that more than one version of foo may be installed if they are in different slots. For example, python-2.7.* packages are in slot 2.7 and python-3.2* packages are in slot 3.2 so python-2.7.2-r2 and python-3.2-r2 may be installed simultaneously. However, ex., 2.7.1-r2 and 2.7.2-r2 may not (because they are in both slot) 2.7. Similarly gnome-2* and gnome-3* (from the gnome overlay) are both in slot 2.0. The reason why GNOME 3 is in slot 2.0 is that it cannot be installed alongside GNOME 2, so no use in bumping the slot #.

Can you see anything amiss?
At least on my system, /var/log/portage has the following permissions:
drwxr-xr-x root root
Only root can write, therefore the config must read
/var/log/portage/elog/summary.log {
su root portage
missingok
nocreate

}
The latest logrotate update wanted to change the above line from su root
portage to su portage portage ...
Should I be changing the ownership of /var/log/portage and /var/log/portage
elog?
Unless portage now drops privileges from root:portage to portage:portage
for writing logs, no one except root should be allowed to write in
/var/log/portage. So, from my point of view, the answer is no.
It seems so:

In the mornings we couldn't understand why the lid of the tube was thrown on the floor and it was put on again and it took a couple of days for us to realize what had happened.

And now it does (actually GNOME 3 fixes a problem I had with GNOME2 whereby I had the clock widget in the middle, but when I switched to an bigger external monitor it would not automatically stay centered. GNOME3 fixes that.) I changed the font size and face either in CSS or the tweak tool. The dialogs (log out, etc.) which you don't see in the screenshot were grabbed from the CSS of another theme.
