Thank you, Quim [1] http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/x11-libs/fltk/fltk-1.1.10.ebuild?view=log The libpng slots, apart from 0, only install the shared library files, not the headers. They are intended for compatibility with old binaries for which no source code is available, not for building new software. Afaik the common opinion is that different libpng versions are mostly source compatible, and minor patching to other things is preferable to inventing a non-standard way to make the libpng implementation switchable at build-time. Is there a reason you can not use fltk-1.1.10-r2.ebuild [1] in stead, which incorporates a patch [2] for libpng-1.5 (which probably still works with 1.6), as well as various other fixes? 1: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/x11-libs/fltk/fltk-1.1.10-r2.ebuild 2: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/x11-libs/fltk/files/fltk-1.1.10-libpng15.patch I didn't know about this patch, this should make the job.
[gentoo-user] EAPI 4-python
Hello, I am trying to install an ebuild that used EAPI=4-python getting the error: API of python.eclass in EAPI=4-python not established I googled the problem but there is not much to read (or at least I could not find much) and what is there is old. So I wonder what is the problem with this and if there is a way to use it as there are many ebiulds (maybe only in overlays, I am not sure) that use it. Quim

Afaik the *-python eapis are almost exclusively used by Arfrever's
Progress overlay (and, by extension, funtoo). The error message you
show seems to be from python.eclass in the main gentoo tree, which does
not take un-official eapis into account. The code in question for
reference (lines 30-32):
if ! has ${EAPI:-0} 0 1 2 3 4 5; then
die API of python.eclass in EAPI=\${EAPI}\ not established
fi
You might be able to use the ebuild stand-alone by also copying the
relevant eclasses from whereever you got the ebuild into your local
overlay (where I presume you put the ebuild?). However, from previous
experience with the Progress overlay, you might want to use the entire
overlay though layman in stead. Due to unfortunately incompatible
python-implementation dependencies with gentoo proper it's rather an
all-or-nothing deal.
The ebuild is from the ezod overlay. I am trying to use the ROS related
packages like wstool, rosdep. etc. They all seem to use this EAPI. I
thought that using this overlay would be easier than using pip but
apparently it's not is it?

[gentoo-user] banshee installation without systemd
Hello, after reading the thread about systemd somebody mentioned sys-fs/eudev. I decided used because I had systemd only to used udev and unmerge systemd. Now I can't use Banshee which I use as my music player because of the next dependency tree: banshee - gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon - sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration - sys-apps/systemd and systemd can't be used because it conflicts with eudev. Is there anyway to avoid emerge systemd in this case? Thank you, Quim

Knowing the exact versions in the dependency chain would be useful. Is there anyway to avoid emerge systemd in this case? gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.x and 3.10.x have the (quite unsupported) openrc-force USE flag. Set it, and it will force gsd to be used with OpenRC, so you don't need to depend on systemd. Be aware, this is totally unsupported; from /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc: gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon:openrc-force - Skip systemd dependency (#480336), enabling this flag will become your setup to be fully unsupported by upstream and downstream Gnome team. Do not try to enable it unless completely needed So, if something breaks, you get to keep both pieces. Regards. Ok, thanks for the advise.
Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Re: New install - Unable to get my ppc Mac Mini to boot the root partition
Barry, That's a good idea. I forgot about that. I was was going to suggest that Mark verify that he's compiling the right drive controller driver, but if that was the case, he wouldn't have gotten as far as he did.

You should be able to pass the root device to the kernel at boot time (root=/dev/sda4). If you are able to get past the root filesystem check (the disk is referred to as sda instead of hda), then you will need to update your /etc/fstab to reflect the different device names.

Seems like that's the only thing I haven't touched yet having rebuilt this machine twice. Again, this machine has run Gentoo for a few years. I was doing a major emerge -e @world operation which seemed to finish successfully but when I rebooted the kernel doesn't see the drive. I've rebuilt the machine 2 more times from scratch and continue to be stumped by this problem. Thanks, Mark
