Re: [sabayon-dev] [RFC] Enabling CFLAGS=-O3 + FEATURES=test for specific packages

What do their upstreams think about using -O3 instead of -O2 for them? If -O3 passed some extra safe CFLAGS (for that packages), why those upstreams don't simply use them by default? (that will also help to other distributions and also to Gentoo, where we are discouraged to use -O3 (except some firefox parts that are compiled with -O3 by upstream decision and we respect that decision as they know better their own software ;)) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

(o: 2011/9/19 Sławomir Nizio slawomir.ni...@sabayon.org: Speaking about git history, don't know why I didn't think of it the first place: it could be done this way (idea): cp -r overlay overlay-gen mv overlay overlay-sab rm overlay-gen/sab-stuff rm overlay-sab/gen-stuff ZzZ. This idea seems to be profitable for Gentoo users. I've sometime thought about it. Should it be done or not, let me share my thoughts of main disadvantages for Sabayon I can think of, for fruitful discussion. - A git repository created from scratch wouldn't have ebuilds etc. history (logs). But if for example the Gentooish overlay is made of current sabayon overlay from which Sabayon stuff is removed, git history of deleted files would be still available in it. I don't know if that could be made better, but if not, maybe this problem could be ignored (of course if answer for this proposal is yes). I can only think of spliting the overlay *not* into two physical git repositories, but into two branches. Question here: would it be a comfortable solution for the maintainers - hmm, it could work. But I'm not that sure layman-and-others support it. - It's possible some eclasses and/or virtuals would need to be shared and maintained simultaneously in the two overlays, but it's IMO no big thing. I don't know how it looks from the perspective of the infrastructure, so I won't say anything in this regard. On the other hand: what good could it bring to Sabayon - more fame. :) I generally support this proposal. But please understand this has the potential to involve a significant amount of manual labor, so it may take a while to make it happen. Then again, it may end up being easier. No problem at all, I really understand you as I neither have much time ;) Best regards :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
[sabayon-dev] About splitting sabayon overlay to easily use it on Gentoo
Hello I have talked about this a bit with Fabio and he encouraged me to suggest this here :) After reading Donnie's article: http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/458794/3200f94be1e49826/ I remembered that maybe the following idea would help a bit to Gentoo people (without any disadvantage for Sabayon, I think): Currently, a sabayon overlay is available to easily be used though layman, the problem is that it includes two kind of packages: - Packages with sabayon additions like wallpapers, customizations and others - this packages are more sabayon specific - Packages that are not yet included in Gentoo - this kind of packages could be used without major problems on Gentoo. Then, the idea is to split sabayon overlay to have two overlays: one oriented to people wanting to migrate from Gentoo to Sabayon, the other one to be widely used by Gentoo users. That way, I could also install additional packages from your overlay and, personally, I really trust sabayon maintained packages over other third party overlays ;) What do you think about this? Thanks a lot signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
