[gentoo-dev] Eclass subdirectory for x-modular.eclass
In an attempt to patch all driver packages automatically, I've modified x-modular.eclass to do something along the lines of what elibtoolize does for its patching. However, this would require the storage of a patch for x-modular.eclass, which I would intend to place in a subdirectory of eclass (my current choice is x-modular-files). Am I allowed to create this subdirectory, or does this break policy/anything else I'm unaware of? -- Joshua Baergen -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Don't. ELT is a nasty hacky mess, you don't want to repeat that mistake.

To be more clear for people who aren't familiar with elibtoolize -- it has a subdirectory eclass/ELT-patches/ that it keeps its patches in. Thanks, Donnie -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

The only reason elibtoolize use this abortion from hell, is because it
needs to be working from day one.
Use ${P}-patches-{PVER}.tar.bz2, and set PVER (or whatever) before
inheriting the eclass.

Thanks, I will do that.

[gentoo-dev] Modular X update
AREAS WE NEED HELP WITH: 1) Porting applications to modular X 2) Fixing descriptions for the vast majority of modular packages. OK, it seems like we've now got issues resolved related to the new virtual/x11 package. Despite all the eyes that looked at it and all the publicity on lists and elsewhere, we still missed the lack of stable keywords in it, which caused some issues when the default virtual was pulled from the base profile. Thanks to axxo and flameeyes for dealing with this while I was at lunch. Here's roughly how it all works: 1) Users with xorg-6.x installed will continue along happily, because 6.x PROVIDES virtual/x11 on their systems. 2) Users with no X installed will pull in the virtual/x11 package because there is no longer a default virtual. 3) Users with xorg-7.x installed will need all their packages updated for modular dependencies. There is a porting guide at http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/xorg-x11/porting_to_modular_x_howto.txt -- go ahead and run through it for your favorite packages, and file bugs to their maintainers with the updated dependencies. One note for porting to modular: binary packages will require a script using ldd instead of one checking the compilation log. Petteri Räty has kindly made one available at http://dev.gentoo.org/~betelgeuse/scripts/checkdeps -- it depends on portage-utils. While packages are being ported to modular X, you will be unable to upgrade any unported packages (so likely your 'world') without an entry in /etc/portage/profile/virtuals that emulates virtual/x11 using an installed package, e.g.: virtual/x11 x11-base/xorg-x11 assuming you have the xorg-x11-7 metabuild installed. I hope that covers pretty much everything right now. Thanks for your patience, Donnie -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-dev] KDE + htdig
Hello, I am looking for help / advice to get KDE to work with htdig. I'm trying to fix an old bug [1], but I'm not much of a KDE expert, and so far I've had no luck. If you have any ideas and are willing to spend a few minutes helping me figure out how to get khelpcenter and kdevelop to play nice with htdig, please reply to me off-list or ping me on IRC.

Quite a contrast with the x11 herd policy: to add packages until there's 10x more than you can reasonably maintain.
