[gentoo-dev] I want to help, but I don't know where
Hi, at first I'm new at this list (I subscribed yesterday), so excuse me if I write stupid things... possibly there is a page or FAQ about this subject, but I really didn't find it. I want to help and I don't know where. I tried to find a page at gentoo.org which lists needed manpower or at least gives some hints, but I didn't find nothing. Also the support is for people who search for support and not for people who want to support Gentoo. That's not the point of my mail at all, but possibly there should be some (better placed) information about this subject? O.K., I want to describe my person a little bit. Sincerely I come from Poland and live in Germany now. I speak Polish, German and English. I am 20 years old and studying computer science at the University of Bremen. I'm in the middle of my studies now. I use Gentoo since a lot of years (I forgot the exact date), before Gentoo I used a self-made distribution based on LFS. I can write applications in C(++), Java and PHP. Personally I write rather end-user applications, but during my studies I also had exercises like write your own file system (O.K., it was FAT12 ;), write your own memory management etc. So basic knowledge about operating systems should also be there. My knowledge in XHTML and CSS is also good, because it's my job for more than five years. I think this should be enough for a first profile. I can tell more, if somebody wants to know more. Can anybody tell me how can I help? Is my help needed or should I rather participate somewhere else? Greets, Rafael Bugajewski pgpvETf3KM9FF.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-dev] splash-utils question
Hi, First of all might need to say that I'm not myself a gentoo user. I've just been trying to implement fbsplash/splash-utils within my distro, which is a custom lfs. I've compiled last version of splash-utils with mng-support, against klc-1.2. The kernel I'm using is 2.6.14 (patched as well against vsa-tng). I've tried without success make all of this run properly, but I find the following problems, maybe anyone can bring some light on this: I can't see any text as specified on the config file when I boot form a cpio (splash_geninitramfs) image. I've been trying activating either vesafb and vesa-tng, toghether with different options on the command-line, such as video=.,tty:[number], plus different combinations of console=tty[number], and CONSOLE=/dev/tty[number], with no success at all. The thing is, when I try locally, this works. I mean if I start splash_util in daemon mode, set the silent tty to it's proper number (usually /dev/tty8), the text labels specified on the my cfg file are rendered, not so when I generate a cpio image with splash_geninitramfs, and boot it. I can also see icons in *local-mode*, better said, start and stop services, which I couldn't try yet within a cpio image. Another question I've got is, how is mng-support used?, I've been looking at splash-utils' source code, and can guess a anim option whithin the cfg file could be something like this: anim [silent|verbose] [once|loop] path_to_file x y Although for sure the're something short or not correct at all, I'm just talking from memory. Could anyone tell something about? I'll really appreciate it. I've been hardly googling for this, but it seems like between the original bootsplash, different versions and specs form spock through out fbsplash/gensplash/splash-utils development, plus my basic knowledge about programming, turns available documentation into a complete mess.

[gentoo-dev] testing for new versions of db.
Hi all,
* if you don't want the explanation, skip to *
I believe I have finally found a solution to the problems that plague berkeley
db. While slotting has worked for a long time now, there were serious
problems caused by the fact that db is often used within libraries. Some of
these libraries namely use different db versions, but end up in the same
executable. As a result a symbol collision occurs, and the wrong code is
used. Corrupting the databases.
To this end db-4.{0,1,2}.x use the --with-uniquename hack. This hack appends
some magic string after all symbols and as such makes them unique. This has
various drawbacks, including the fact that many configure scripts do not
expect this. db-4.3 and db-4.4 do not support this hack any longer. It for
example also conflicts with dbxml (also from sleepycat aka oracle).
To solve this I've delved into the ld manual pages, performed some tests and
found that the linker also has a similar uniquename trick, but performs it
much better. It is called symbol versioning, and as long as things go right,
it should be completely transparent. If things go wrong, it will signal it
instead of using the wrong implementations. Symbol versioning can be done by
way of a linking script, but for our purposes much easier, there is a command
line option. This option --default-symver will use the soname as the
version of all unversioned symbols (those that have no other version
assigned). This option should be safe to use with almost all libraries, and
might be a solution to some problems with libraries being linked twice
(libstdc++ anyone).
*
Ok, after the explanation, I would like people to test the change. To this I
would ask people who do not shy away from more or less serious recompiles to
unmask db and merge either db-4.3.29 or db-4.4.20. Both ebuilds should be
stable except for upgrade issues. The new changes should fix that.
If you want to test upgrade issues specifically, be aware that they only occur
when going from db-4.3 to db-4.4 as db-4.2 still uses the uniquename hack.
Thanks,
Paul
ps. Openldap people, the sooner you test, the sooner you get a new db
version :-P

[gentoo-dev] mwcollect deprecation notice
Hi all, Just a quick announcement that as per the announcement recently: http://www.mwcollect.org/ mwcollect has merged code with nepenthes ( http://nepenthes.mwcollect.org/ ). That said, the upgrade path will be as follows: 1) Version 3.0.4 will be added to the tree, most likely tommorow evening PST 2) I'll file a bug with ppc to ensure the proper keywording transitions over. 3) When the nepenthes version comes out with the code merged, mwcollect will be removed from the tree, and the appropriate package move will be added so users are automatically converted over to nepenthes.
