[gentoo-user] OT: Web mail suggestions...

2005-09-26 Thread Dave Nebinger
I'm running postfix and tpop3d on my site for email delivery. Everything is working great; internally I can send receive, and externally I can send and receive also (using smtp auth for sending, tpop3d for receiving). However, I'd like to add the ability to check my email through my web

I'm writing a sed script that will parse the *broken* output of man2html. I say broken, because the output isn't W3C compliant (html OR xhtml). I'd like to be able to modify it so that the final outcome is XHTML 1.0 compliant. I'm running into a problem where the output doesn't close the p, dt,

Well, while I enjoy a good challenge (especially sed, awk, or perl), htmltidy does the trick quite nicely. It doesn't indent the way that I do, but my first priority was making the output W3C compliant, and htmltidy's output is that. I haven't used it in awhile, but there may be some command

RE: [gentoo-user] Update portage cache ... horribly slow

2005-09-28 Thread Dave Nebinger
It's very very slow and I dont know why. So my question is could I some way turn off this cache? I've had a lot of luck with the cdb patch for portage. It's mentioned in the gentoo wiki. I haven't measured to see how syncs are impacted but regular portage stuff seems faster. --

Whats the best way to keep several /etc/host files in sync ? The easiest way is not to bother. Use a local dns server to provide host lookups. I believe on the gentoo wiki you'll find a setup for a caching dns proxy where the most lookups will be forwarded to a regular dns but you can still

I'd like to install dekagen but there are no ebuilds for it. I suppose I could just unpack it and follow the INSTALL doc but is that the appropriate gentoo way? It's the general unix way of doing things, so sure it fits into gentoo also. Ebuilds are not really necessary unless you believe a
