I'm on amd64, as my primary arch.  I generally use a chroot, as well,
and have knocked up some scripts to help me, but a well-designed package
to do it would be very helpful.  Maybe I'll write one...

Several patches just went into -mm to make UML work well as a 32-bit
process on 64-bit arches, which would make the root image a pure 32-bit
image.

In that case, neither behavior is correct.

Additionally, you should talk to the portage team and get the master
ebuild.sh changed, because the stock pkg_nofetch there uses SRC_URI.

This is the existing default pkg_nofetch from ebuild.sh:
pkg_nofetch() {
[ -z "${SRC_URI}" ] && return
echo "!!! The following are listed in SRC_URI for ${PN}:"
local x
for x in $(echo ${SRC_URI}); do
echo "!!!   ${x}"
done
}

When FEATURES=mirror, and you try to fetch, it does indeed contain unevaluated
USE flags. However for FEATURES=-mirror, the content of it is correct - no USE
flags at all.

Maybe a two-part solution is in order here then:
1. Change portage behavior regarding the value of SRC_URI during fetch with
   FEATURES=mirror to not contain any conditionals.
2. Change all ebuilds to use SRC_URI in pkg_nofetch

Displaying $SRC_URI is worse for the user, because it displays this
weird dependency tree containing USE flags that they should not need to
decipher.

I don't consider this something that should be "fixed."

Generating root filesystems for UML and Xen are basically the same
process. I've heard of domi, but, bleh, I never could get it to work. I
usually just make my images in chroot, and that usually works well. But,
since the images are *basically* the same, that means it would be
possible to use the jailtime images, unless you are running on a 64-bit
arch. Then, in that case, least with gentoo, running a 64-bit kernel and

UML is not complicated or hard to maintain.  I'm fairly happy
maintaining it with the help of the kernel herd, and (being a linux
kernel port) I think it really belongs in kernel, not in virtualization
or vmm or vserver, or whatever.

Maybe if there were some projects for full virtual server setups that
could use xen or uml or vmware or ... as it's underlying hosting
service, that could be useful, but just for maintenance, I don't think
it's really necessary.

I'm open to arguments in favor of such a project, tho, if people have
real plans.  Certainly, an easier way to generate and maintain root
filesystems for UML would be nice.

[gentoo-dev] pkg_nofetch: $A vs. $SRC_URI

2006-07-03 Thread Robin H. Johnson
If you have an ebuild with a non-standard pkg_nofetch, please ensure
that you use $SRC_URI instead of $A!

This is because if you have FEATURES=mirror or FEATURES=cvs, attempts to
download all of the source files for digesting or verification will hit
pkg_nofetch and $A is only the subset of $SRC_URI, causing misleading
messages to be displayed about what needs to be downloaded still.

Plasmaroo: could you perhaps change this in the devmanual?

I'll be looking through the tree to fix any existing occurrences of this.

Hi

I'm glad to announce a new sub project from Gentoo Science. The Physics
sub project!
You may noticed i created a new category on the tree and moved a few
packages from another categories to the new one.
Now the future is to maintain and add new applications to provide the
best platform for science development on the opensource world. We
encourage the participation of all scientists(or future scientists :))
like us to help with this job, you can submit and research new packages,
help us fixing bugs and creating documentation.

Yeah, we got frequent problems with offical/unofficial/suspended or not so
much suspended. Consequently to sort out this issue we came to the
conclusion to make it fully unofficial in the meeting. It works this way
but it is not how I wish Sunrise to operate. It needs to have approval and
that is why we discuss Sunrise and improve it constantly.

That's what I was trying to say is that bochs/qemu/vmware are emulation
since they emulate x86 hardware, though I would see some good by
including Xen and User-mode Linux with the VPS Project, since that seems
fitting. Oh yeah, don't forget vmware-server, that's supposely supposed
to be used in virtualization enviroments (I personally haven't tried it,

not really, bochs, qemu and vmware is emulation, merely used in virtualization

uml and xen do run with VMMs and don't share anything with 
OpenVZ/Linux-VServer

uml and xen could be integrated into the VPS project (with a different herd)

Okay, in that case, extend the vserver herd to include a larger range of

Really? According to who?

We only just had the userrel + sunrise meeting where the people behind
Project Sunrise said they would continue the project as an unofficial

Even if they have changed their minds about this, I think it is too

[gentoo-dev] Virtualization Herd

2006-07-03 Thread Nick Devito
Looking at the number of virtualization-related packages (xen, openvz,
and related packages) that are in portage, and the increasing complexity
of these packages (which means more problems, as usual), I'm suggesting
that a Virtualization herd be formed to handle these packages. I was
also going to suggest moving virtualization-related things out of
app-emulation, since they don't quite fit the bill of "emulation". Maybe
QEMU, Bochs, and VMWare would fit, but, not quite. These are the
packages that would be affected:

* Xen/Xen-tools
* QEMU
* OpenVZ
* Bochs
* VMWare (workstation, server, etc) 
* User-mode Linux

..and the list goes on...

Just a suggestion :)

No, brix is certainly not happy with a overlay like sunrise in any
official capacity. This should be clear from the meeting [1] that was
held between sunrise (jokey and genstef), userrel (represented by
christel), brix and myself.

Instead brix suggested a different solution to the problem, namely a
"proxy maintainer" project that everybody seemed to be happy about at
the meeting. However, while brix sees the proxy maintainer project as a
replacement for the current sunrise project jokey and genstef sees it as
a welcome addition.

In any case it's not true that everybody is happy with sunrise yet.

Bryan Østergaard

the project was suspended because developers were severely unhappy with it

the issues are whether said developers feel all of their grievances have been 
addressed ... so far it would appear so

debating whether the project has/is will accomplish things is out of scope/off 
topic

[gentoo-dev] adding graphviz use flag

2006-07-03 Thread Caleb Tennis
I was going to add graphviz as a local use flag to kdevelop, when I found
these:

use.local.desc:media-gfx/imagemagick:graphviz - enable graphviz support
use.local.desc:media-gfx/k3d:graphviz - Add graphviz support
use.local.desc:net-analyzer/scapy:graphviz - Enable graphviz support
use.local.desc:www-apps/bugzilla:graphviz - enable graphviz support
use.local.desc:www-apps/tikiwiki:graphviz - enable graphviz support

I plan on moving all of them to a new global graphviz flag unless someone
screams loudly in my direction.

Thanks,
Caleb

Nor was I trying to in any way.  Instead, I don't see any point in
discussing something that still needs time to mature.  The project
hasn't been around long enough to accomplish anything, so again, what is
there to discuss?

Well, I've been reading the dev mailing-list for a while now, and... I
think there could not be a better first message : congratulations Paul
!

He really is a very nice baby. Hope The mother feels good too.

I wish you a lot of happiness (x3) !

Best regards,



2006/6/30, Paul de Vrieze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


I'm proud to announce the arival of a future developer. His name is "Tom". He
arived last monday on 10:22 am (UTC+02). I and my wife will take care of
mentoring him to full developership ;-).

In the meantime, he's got his own album on
http://www.cs.ru.nl/~pauldv/tom/

Paul

ps. If I'm a bit away these days, it is due to me being preoccupied with my
mentoring task.
