[gentoo-dev] Proposed changes to base profile for Gentoo/ALT
As I'd like to get sooner or later (better sooner) the profiles for Gentoo/FreeBSD in main tree, I've synced the fake base profile in gentoo-alt overlay with the one in the tree. Unfortunately there are things in base that are linux-specific, so they, IMHO, should be moved in default-linux. The attached patch is the proposed changes, they are mainly linux-specific userland that does not work outside of Linux-based systems, but there are also some GNU-specific packages like which that we don't use. I would have some other changes for virtuals, but they are less important right now. Obviously if this is going to be applied the missing packages should be added to the packages of default-linux and other linux profiles that does inherit from base.

The downside is that Portage integration could be slower (same case as with `glsa-check`, AFAIK). So you're not using a consistent file format at all, you're just using a consistent unnecessary layer in the middle, which as a side effect makes your files incompatible with every standard Unix tool ever written. See below. Using XML does not magically make things compatible. XML is just a layer in the middle. Any tool processing XML files still has to worry about however the DTD in question works. Just to clarify - I don't say that XML is The Best Way To Go (tm), I'm just pointing out another possibility of implementation which is *very* similar to the way GLSAs are processed. GLSA already contains stuff for marking items as valid only for given systems, for injecting them etc. Why don't use existing code? Why duplication? Have a look at the XML source of any GLSA.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Getting Important Updates To Users
Hello. First time posting; hope the message isn't ugly. Anyway, from a generic point of view, I think the different suggestions mentioned are all nice. One argument that seems to have cropped up in the latter messages regards those users who do not keep up with news, break their system and then cry. To this I say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. The purpose, imo, for the new methods of pushing out news info is not to reach every single user. It's about pushing more info out and in more meaningful ways; a two-fold problem. Pushing out important info is, I'd sincerely hope, something everyone hear can agree is a good thing. Pushing out more is debatable due to quality versus quantity proportions, but given quality as being high and consistent, pushing more news is a good idea. This leaves how to propagate messages meaningfully. Yes, gentoo has many niche groups that keep up with a small portion (in the overall sense) of news. Creating (or beefing up an existing medium) a common, general place for information is a good thing. But, this shouldn't mean it's a replacement. Just a central location. Basically, the aforementioned methods presented in the thread are interesting and would be nice to have. You can't reach everyone, but the point should be in reaching more in a more effective way. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
