[gentoo-dev] Restructuring the ppc/ppc64 profiles to be better multilib

2014-06-28 Thread Anthony G. Basile

Hi everyone,

This is a ppc/ppc64 issues, but I'm sending this to gentoo-dev@ because 
it seems to me that those herds are pretty scattered right:


1) The issue came up about restructuring the arch/powerpc profiles. 
There we have some ancient stuff like ppc64/32ul.  I don't know why 
that's needed and it doesn't make much sense wrt the new direction 
multilib is going.  I'd like to clean up those profiles.  Any objections 
to removing ppc64/32ul, coalescing ppc64/64ul into just ppc64 and making 
whatever other tweaks are needed?


2) Can we try to get the ppc/ppc64 herds communicating more.  I don't 
believe every team needs a lead but at least have a point of reference 
so we can communicate.

[gentoo-dev] Docker 1.0.0 masked for no known reason?

2014-06-28 Thread Greg Kroah-Hartman
Hi Markos,

I was wondering why docker 1.0.0 wasn't seeming to get updated on my
boxes recently, despite me commiting the update to the cvs tree, and
Tianon noticed that it was masked at the moment:

# Markos Chandras hwoar...@gentoo.org (03 May 2014)
# Masked for further testing
=app-emulation/lxc-1.0.0
=app-emulation/docker-1.0.0

Which is odd, given that I never saw a bug report, nor did Tianon, and I
thought we were the ones working on maintaining this package in the
tree.

So, what's up with keeping docker from being updated?  Is it just an lxc
bug?  This works just fine on my other boxes with other distros :)

And why mask without at least dropping me an email?

thanks,

greg k-h

Oh, that good old masked for testing, which actually never works. If
you want testing to be done, you don't mask stuff. Also, no bug number
referenced. All you get is someone's e-mail address.

Well, it can make sense if you're actually actively testing it and
having it in tree offers convenience when doing so, but generally it
should be reserved for cases where it really is actively being tested,
and isn't simply sitting around.  Then you actually have some kind of
roadmap to general release.  This is far less disruptive than sticking
an ebuild in ~arch when all you know is that it builds.

I can't vouch for what is going on in this case.

Exactly.

 If you want testing to be done, you don't mask stuff. Also, no bug
 number referenced. All you get is someone's e-mail address.

So, given a total lack of testing by anyone, I might as well just
remove the mask, so it can actually be done given that people are
wanting the latest Docker release, especially due to the security fixes
in it over the one that is currently not masked...

thanks,
