[gentoo-dev] RTL8187B don't work on 2.6.26, but worked on 2.6.24
Hi, I just want to know, what happen with 2.6.26 kernel sources? I've installed (compiled and copy all KO's to kernel modules directory, run init script loading modules) of RTL-8187B Wireless Card but error occured: * Loading REALTEK Wireless (8187b) drivers ...

[gentoo-dev] [RFC] LXDE project
Hi everyone, I recently got interested in LXDE[1], the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, and I would like to see this available in portage. At the moment there are, to my knowledge, 3 overlays maintained by users that include ebuilds for lxde. I think it is time to combine efforts and get these packages into the official tree. I have therefor created an LXDE project page[2] under the Desktop top-level project. My idea is to initially start an official overlay and develop the needed packages in there. I am actively encouraging users to participate in development and maintenance, and of course I am extending the invitation to any Gentoo developers who would like to join. I don't want to spread myself too thin, and having more experienced developers involved with the project would be a good thing. Any constructive feedback is welcome!

It's being used to mean the cost of selecting this when doing dependency resolution cost analysis is zero, which is an entirely different thing. So it's zero-resolution-cost now? No, the overall cost in resolution is potentially non-zero. But the cost of selecting it for an install when resolving it is zero. Yes, that *is* different (although I'd use free-resolve. free is well understood as often meaning zero-cost, which isn't a phrase most English-speaking people use. It only has meaning within the PROPERTIES variable, so it's not going to clash with anything.) free means lots of things. Users don't need to see it. Heck, most developers don't need to see it. Well any dev using it will do, and I believe most of them start out as users. Anyone reading the ebuild will see it, and the fact that it's a well-understood term, within Gentoo at least[2], makes it easier for the PM user-base to work with. virtual is a well-understood term that does not mean what the property being discussed will mean. It's a cultural people understand this already point as opposed to a technical make-it-as-explicit-as-we-can one. And with this 'understanding' comes lots of misconceptions about what it means. 'virtual' implies lots of things that this property does not. -- Ciaran McCreesh signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Indeed. Ciaran himself is a user, now, tho a dev for other projects. Of course, I'm a user too. Both of us care (tho I'm sure he cares more than I do) about virtual and need to see it, But I think less technical user (even luser in some cases) is how he tends to use the word. The are certainly there, but that has never really been Gentoo's focus, and we don't expect users to need their hands held. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

[gentoo-dev] [RFC] Extend blocker syntax to indicate when conflicting packages may be temporarily installed simultaneously (for EAPI 2)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, Please consider a blocker syntax extension, for inclusion in EAPI 2, which will serve to indicate that conflicting packages may be temporarily installed simultaneously when upgrading or installing a series of packages. When temporary simultaneous installation of conflicting packages occurs, the installation of a newer package may overwrite any colliding files that belong to an older package which is explicitly blocked. When such a file collision occurs, the colliding files will cease to belong to the older package, and they will remain installed after the older package is eventually uninstalled. The older package will be uninstalled only after any newer blocking packages have been merged on top of it. I have written a blog entry [1] which shows some specific examples of this process in action. In EAPI 2, I suggest that we introduce a new !!atom syntax to indicate blockers for which temporary simultaneous installation with a blocked package is not allowed. This way we will be able to continue to use the existing !atom syntax, but slightly change it's existing meaning so it serves to indicate that temporary simultaneous installation with a blocked package will be allowed. By using this approach, we will be able to use the !atom syntax for the majority of blockers, and we'll only have to use the new !!atom syntax for special cases in which temporary simultaneous installation of blocking packages should not be allowed. With =sys-apps/portage-2.1.5, temporary simultaneous installation of blocking packages is already allowed in some cases, but since the current blocker syntax does not express all of the needed information, it relies on heuristics in order to judge whether or not temporary simultaneous installation of conflicting packages will be allowed [2]. In practice, these heuristics appear to be sufficient in many cases. However, in some cases, such as bug 234886 [3], additional information is needed in order to confirm that simultaneous installation of conflicting packages should be allowed. As a workaround for bug 234886, I have temporarily removed e2fsprogs from the system set in order to force the blocker pass the heuristic test that is employed by =sys-apps/portage-2.1.5. This workaround is possible since e2fsprogs is still pulled in as a dependency of util-linux (which is also a member of the system set) in the relevant profiles. Since removing e2fsprogs from the system set is clearly suboptimal, and workarounds like that won't necessarily be feasible in similar cases that arise, we need to extend blocker syntax to convey the information about when temporary simultaneous installation of conflicting packages should be allowed. Does the suggested blocker syntax extension seem like a good solution to the problem? Would anybody like to discuss any alternative approaches?
