[gentoo-dev] New global USE flag: logrotate
Hi, I'd like to propose a new global USE flag named 'logrotate' to add support for app-admin/logrotate (by installing logrotate config files to /etc/logrotate.d/). There are currently one local USE flag named logrotate in net-proxy/squid, which of course isn't enough to justify having a global USE flag - but it seems other packages, at least app-admin/syslog-ng, currently unconditionally install a config file to /etc/logrotate.d/. There are 4 open enhancement requests in Gentoo bugzilla about ebuilds which could install such a config file, and I am sure many other ebuilds could as well (anything that logs to a file). If there are no objections to this I will make 'logrotate' a global USE flag once I add a logrotate config file to sys-power/acpid.

[gentoo-dev] GLX no longer works after downgrade from xorg-x11-6.8.99.3
For testing purposes (see #89767) I upgraded today from x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6111-r3 media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111-r1 to x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.99.3 media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r3 After downgrading back to the old versions X no longer starts and (II) Initializing extension GLX is the last line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. When I remove Load glx from my /etc/x11/xorg.conf X starts.

It's as simple as:

Do we really need an eclass for that?

I meant an eclass to take care of all of it together.
(rough prototype here)
IUSE=$IUSE logrotate
RDEPEND=$RDEPEND logrotate? ( app-admin/logrotate )
dologrotated() {
use logrotate insinto /etc/logrotate.d doins $@
}
newlogrotated() {
use logrotate insinto /etc/logrotate.d newins $1 $2
}
Then ebuilds can just do:
inherit logrotate
...
newlogrotated ${FILES}/${PN}-logrotate-basic ${PN}-logrotate
dologrotated ${FILES}/${PN}-logrotate-extra

Ah, ok - sounds good to me. Perhaps we can stick into eutils.eclass?

IUSE=$IUSE logrotate

dologrotated() {

ive never looked at the format of a logrotate.d file ... would it be possible
to easily script a 'make_logrotated' func where you pass it a few params and
it'd create a file for you based off a common template ?

Adding a config file in an /etc/something.d is just like merging some config changes in an /etc/something.conf without waiting for the user to do his etc-update.

[gentoo-dev] Portage ebuild cruft
Hi, Portage is slow? How to make it faster? By removing unused ebuilds! I wrote a little script to check which ebuilds in portage aren't used anylonger, here the result: Total packages checked: 9076 Total ebuilds checked: 18662 Total ebuilds to remove: 4643 Of course the script can't detect every ebuild situation, so take the numbers with care. But still it shows that 1/4 of all ebuilds could be removed. This would improve portage performance by at least 1/4, so developers go ahead. The script is attached, just run it as if it was repoman, it won't do anything, just show the orphaned packages. mfg, heinrich :-) cleanup.py Description: application/python
