It seems that the content of

some way, preventing it from being parsed by bash. If you remove
that file then portage will actually try to source the ebuild and
use the eclasses from the portage tree.
If removing environment.bz2 doesn't solve the problem, you can
remove /var/db/pkg/dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.27/libxml2-2.6.27.ebuild (as

After a python upgrade, most people run python-updater to recompile
all the python bytecodes. That's supposed to solve the above

/usr/local/portage/dev-util/eclipse-sdk/files
Is this correct? It'd seem like the Eclipse(Europa 3.3)

Will my 'dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-r2/' remain pristine and usable?
When the devs do provide an elcipse 3.3 version in portage
I'll just comment out the OVERLAY line in 'make.conf'
and just emerge the official eclipse 3.3 from portage, or
is there more to it than that?
Any other caveats, I should know about?
The fact that its not in the main tree yet may indicate that there
are some rough edges that you may not want to be exposed to. The
ebuild in that overlay seems to have dependencies from both the
java-experimental overlay and the main java-overlay.
Rather than install a bunch of software from outside the main tree,
it's probably a lot safer to use an eclipse-sdk-bin ebuild like the
one I've attached. You'll have to manually download
eclipse-SDK-3.3-linux-gtk.tar.gz or similar from eclipse.org and
save it in ${DISTDIR} before you can digest the ebuild and install
it (the gentoo-wiki guide should help you with that).

Correct, my ${DISTDIR} is normally mounted via nfs.
When I umount it, I can emerge ...
When mounted, dmesg gives me
lockd: cannot monitor ${IP_OF_NFS_SERVER}
lockd: failed to monitor ${IP_OF_NFS_SERVER}
What can I do to fix this? Restarting the nfs-service on the server did
not help yet.
There are also nfs services that you need to run on the client side.
Maybe you need to do something like this:
emerge --noreplace nfs-utils
rc-update add nfs default
/etc/init.d/nfs start
If both client and server side services are running correctly then
should just work.

In order to make the sync compatible with portage-2.0.x, you can override the PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS variable that's defined in /etc/make.globals. You do that by redefining it in /etc/make.conf. Copy the value from make.globals and remove the - --filter=H_**/files/digest-* option. After you've removed that option, the digest files will reappear the next time that you sync.

Right now it does have one thing that I have to say is better than Debian... once you get used to it: package masking. I understand that users are frustrated by a perceived lack of performance. However, even though portage performance is far from optimal in many cases, I'm quite satisfied with it's performance levels in most of the ways that I use it. Surely there's lots of room for improvement, but it's difficult to justify spending time on some types of performance enhancements when there are already plenty of things that are completely broken and in need of fixing. That is something that is really quite nifty that debian lacks, but I wouldn't say is a killer app. I'll be on Gentoo for one reason only: I'm obcessed with learning more about Linux, no matter how much trouble that means I have to get myself into ; ) Perhaps if I ever become good enough at Linux and programming I'll feel brave enough to try and help with the Portage problem...

With what limited skill I have I may be able to cook up some of those helper applications to speed things up! Scripts are great, but they aren't for whole applications. Yes, that would be a quotable. Well, I'm not interested in debating whether or not a particular language is suitable for a particular type of application development.

The post sync metadata transfer (equivalent to `emerge --metadata`) copies
readonly pre-generated cache from ${PORTDIR}/metadata/cache/ to the writable
cache which is stored in /var/cache/edb/dep/${PORTDIR}. You can delete the
whole cache with `rm -rf /var/cache/edb/*`. After you've done that, you can
repopulate it with `emerge --metadata` (`emerge --regen` is more time consuming
because it sources all of the ebuilds and eclasses instead of using the
pre-generated cache).

It would be icky to have to specify blocker logic/messages like that. There's
actually an open bug specifically about this issue:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79606
Basically, the problem lies in the fact that portage unmerges the previous
version _after_ the new version has been merged into place. One possible
solution would be to have a special feature that, when enabled, allows portage
to automatically unmerge an old version _before_ the new one is installed (with
protection against unmerging system packages of course).

However, after the directory has been created, portage does not ensure that
.locks continues to have the correct gid.

The easy way is to remaster an existing livecd like I described here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-userm=113397973626705w=2 You will have to loop mount the iso image and then loop mount the livecd.squashfs file (gentoo-sources come with squashfs support, so you only have to enable it in your kernel config). After the squashfs is mounted, you can use rsync to copy it's contents into a writable filesystem. Finally, after you have customized the root filesytem, use mksquashfs (squashfs-tools) to compress it again. You can use catalyst to build a livecd from scratch, but in many cases it's quicker and easier to use the remaster approach. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] How does Portage prioritze emerges in emerge world?
Holly Bostick wrote: OK, I take it back. I said that the situation of upgrading a kernel with the 'symlink' USE flag active occurring at the same time as a (particular) program needing to compile against a configured kernel was not likely to occur all that often, but I was wrong. It's happened again today, but with a different program than the ones I normally keep an eye on. The good thing is that I (think I) see what the problem is. The problem is that Portage emerges the new kernel before (almost) everything else, without regard for whether the 'symlink' USE flag is active, and whether or not any of the other programs proposed to emerge need to compile against a configured kernel source-- or rather, the currently-running kernel, which the symlink most likely pointed to before Portage changed it via a previous emerge. Honestly, there's really no reason (that I can see) to emerge a kernel source before everything else, since the kernel source is useless until at the very least configured, and preferably compiled and installed, and since you're in the middle of an emerge -uwhatever world, you can't reasonably configure and compile the new source until the entire operation is finished. Yeah, OK, technically you can, but it's not really something that an ordinary person would do, I think. I like to manage the kernel sources myself so I always keep a kernel package in package.provided. mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile echo sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r3 /etc/portage/profile/package.provided And if the 'symlink' USE flag is active, emerging the kernel sources before everything else-- which may include packages that must compile against a configured kernel, with the assumption that the /usr/src/symlink points to such a kernel, which it no longer does because the symlink has been changed during a previous emerge and you have not had time to configure the newly-emerged kernel-- is a real problem. I just had to open another term, su to root, run MC to change the symlink-- and got it wrong because I had a second unconfigured kernel (2.6.14-r2; 2.6.14-r3 was being installed) that I forgot I had not yet upgraded to), so had to change the link again to the *real* running kernel (2.6.14) and emerge --resume. And of course I'll have to eventually change the symlink back manually in order to actually manage the new kernel. Which means I have to remember to do that-- which is not the point of having the 'symlink' USE flag active. It seems to me that this could all be avoided if Portage emerged a new kernel *last* in the list if the 'symlink' USE flag is active for kernel emerges-- then everything in the list that needed a configured kernel would have one (the currently-running kernel), the emerge would complete normally, and the symlink would be changed at the end of the procedure so that my next operation could be to upgrade the kernel, which seems to me a reasonable and ordinary order of operation (emerge -u** world, then configure and compile new kernel and run module-rebuild). Am I doing things wrong, or is this a valid enhancement request for b.g.o? Holly The portage developers will not add a special case for kernel packages, so any reordering/prioritization would have to be done in a generic way that is usable for any type of package. Also, it seems desireable to compile against the latest kernel that is installed. Perhaps it would make sense to have a default kernel config that is used to configure the kernel sources automatically (make oldconfig; make modules_prepare) after a new kernel is installed? Something like this could be done ebuild postinst phase (when symlink is created). It is planned for future versions of portage to have pre/post phase hooks, which will allow users to define actions such as this via /etc/portage/bashrc: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.portage.devel/1107 Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Dave Nebinger wrote: Okay, I finished an emerge --update --deep world this morning. Everything was cool. This afternoon, however, I decide I want to install eclipse to migrate a windows java development effort to my gentoo box. Did an emerge --pretend dev-util/eclipse-sdk to see what I was going to get. I was surprised to see it wanting to emerge ant-core because I thought I already had it in place, so a quick eix call results in: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ eix ant-core Search results: 1 * dev-java/ant-core Available versions: 1.5.4-r2 1.6.2-r5 ~1.6.5-r2 Installed: 1.6.2 Homepage:http://ant.apache.org/ Description: Java-based build tool similar to 'make' that uses XML configuration files. So obviously it is in there, in my world file and everything. The question is, shouldn't portage have updated to the latest -r5 ebuild as a result of the --update --deep world update previously? The likely explanation is that ant-core is not a dependency (direct or deep) of your world list. One way to verify is with emerge -a depclean. If you want to keep any of the depclean packages then you should add some to /var/lib/portage/world. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

With revdep-rebuild it tries to remerge the same version that you have installed. If your version is no longer in the portage tree, then there are no ebuilds to satisfy your old version. You should update to versions that currently exist in the portage tree. emerge --oneshot --update dev-python/pyorbit dev-python/gnome-python Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge --sync problem
Matthew R. Lee wrote: I haven't been able to emerge --sync for the last few days and I can't figure out why. When I try I get the following output: [snip] receiving file list ... 0 files to consider client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option? Has anything changed since the problem started? For example, an rsync upgrade (see /var/log/emerge.log)? The output of emerge --info may be helpful. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

While in the main that is true, nptl is not completely compatible (eg signal handling) with the old Linuxthreads. glibc is not the only ebuild to USE the nptl flag, so maybe these ebuilds might need to be re-emerged as well. Actually, I meant to say when nptlonly and nptl flags are flipped together. When they are flipped simultaneously, there is only one threading implementation installed (nptl is installed directly in /lib rather than /lib/tls). As long as the packages that support the nptl USE flag were built with nptlonly and nptl both enabled or both disabled (together, simultaneously), they should not need to be rebuilt because both threading implementations should be binary compatible (though they behave differently).

fire-eyes wrote: p.s. - ntplonly USE flag is bad news, stay away from it. Why blame random things when you have no clue what the actual problem is? I for one have used nptlonly for a while with no problems. Your build logs show that in both cases you got segmentation faults when running perl. I suggest that you roll back to the last working version of perl that you had. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

(btw, when I installed my gentoo --emptytree was totally not needed.) The emerge --emptytree will ensure that all of your packages have been compiled with your latest CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS settings. It is not stricly required because packages compiled with different CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS are interoperable. Note that the 2005.1 handbook mentions only the stage3 and not stage1 or stage2. Installation from the lower stages is more error prone and best avoided. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Starting from a stage 3 is like starting from any old binary distribution. Starting from stage 1 2 allows you to build a box customized from the ground up optimized for your hardware (assuming you've set the cflags correctly before beginning). IMHO, stage 3 is for those that don't want to take the lengthy build time for some of the larger packages, i.e. X and kde/gnome, in order to have a basic working gentoo system in a short timeframe. Granted it will be more error-prone to start at a lower stage, but we're all here because we want that level of build. If we were happy with stage 3 installs, we'd be running from some binary distribution instead. A stage3 install has most of the benefits of a stage1 or stage2. Portage gives you the ability to rebuild *every* single package if you choose. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
