[gentoo-dev] New Bugzilla HOWTO splitup
Thanks to everyone that has given me input on the bugzilla document. Right now we're working on splitting up the bugzilla guide as dsd has suggested. Sorry about the delay in response, but these docs have been keeping me fairly busy (work as well), and with the school semester comming up soon, things are gonna get really weird really fast ;). More information to come soon. Chris White pgp3HiRuw1EZ8.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-dev] Ebuild versioning problems
Hi, I am working on an ebuild for open-iscsi (linux-iscsi-5.0.0.0.3rc6-363) and would like to know what the best way of dealing with that totally insane versionnumber is. Right now I have the ebuild named linux-iscsi-5.0.0.0.3_rc6363.ebuild and then set $MY_PV and $MY_P manually. Is there a better way? -- Anders -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GCS/O d--@ s:+ a-- C++ UL+++$ P++ L+++ E- W+ N(+) o K? w O-- M- V PS+ PE@ Y+ PGP+ t 5 X R+ tv+ b++ DI+++ D+ G e- h !r y? --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- PGPKey: http://random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0xD4DEFED0 -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-dev] Kudzu and Kudzu-Knoppix
These packages infuriate me, and quite frankly, I have no need for them for release building. Basically, I don't want to maintain them any more. I plan on adding a libkudzu ebuild, which will fulfill the dependency for hwsetup, and drop kudzu and kudzu-knoppix from the tree completely, unless some brave soul steps up to maintain these. I figure I'll be removing them around August 1st, so speak up if you want them, otherwise, they are history. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [gentoo-dev] Notice: Changing mozilla useflag to browserplugin for all Java runtimes
Karl, Diego has mentioned that the nsplugins USE-flag already exists and seems to duplicate browserplugin. Additionally it is more appropriate since it refers specifically to netscape-compatible plugins, which is definitely what these are. If there's another plugin format, it probably shouldn't be handled by the same USE-flag. I haven't seen a response from you regarding this. What are your thoughts?

Things that should be moved: s/should/could and everything else telephony related that's missing here. Why net-telephony? Some of these things aren't purely (or enterely not) VoIP only e.g. asterisk, zaptel and libpri (and more stuff being out there that wouldn't fit into a voip only category). Comments? Suggestions? While as much as we love and depend on these programs. Moving them wont really help anything other than making the tree slightly easier to navigate by end users. This slight gain of category navigation comes at a price in that it invalidates existing packages/GRP sets and causes breakage for users that utilized overlays. One might think is that not what fixpackages is supposed to fix. But sadly the existing fixpackages is flawed in design which renders it pretty much usable to most. I love these ebuilds but I hope you do not add net-telephony to the tree. -- Ned Ludd [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
