[gentoo-dev] Git repo mirrors & gentoo-ci stopped for updates
Hi, all. The git mirror updates and gentoo-ci are currently stopped for maintenance. I am attempting a major pkgcore upgrade, and a matching switch from Python 2 to Python 3. Ideally, it should be up again in 2-3 hours at most but I do expect trouble. During the time git syncing mirror will not be updated, and CI will not report issues. However, if any new issues are introduced, it should be able to bisect them to the correct commits once resumed. Since pull request checks are done on a different host, they will continue to work. I will be updating pkgcore there afterwards. -- Best regards, Michał Górny

[gentoo-dev] Re: News item for review: Change of ACCEPT_LICENSE default (v3)
Another iteration, due to an upcoming restructuring of the linux-firmware package. Only change in v3 is the second line in the package.license file which now contains the @BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE group instead of individual licenses. Current plan is that this will go live on next Sunday, 2019-05-19. Title: Change of ACCEPT_LICENSE default Author: Ulrich Müller Posted: 2019-05-19 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 The default set of accepted licenses has been changed [1,2] to: ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE" This means that by default only free software and documentation will be installable. The "FREE" license group is defined in the profiles/license_groups file in the Gentoo repository. It contains licenses that are explicitly approved by the Free Software Foundation, the Open Source Initiative, or that follow the Free Software Definition. The system wide default for the accepted licenses is controlled by the ACCEPT_LICENSE variable in /etc/portage/make.conf, or it can be specified on a per-package basis in /etc/portage/package.license. For example, to allow the app-arch/unrar and sys-kernel/linux-firmware packages to be installed, the following lines would have to be added to /etc/portage/package.license: app-arch/unrar unRAR sys-kernel/linux-firmware @BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE If you want to revert to the previous default, add the following line to /etc/portage/make.conf: ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" This will permit all licenses, except End User License Agreements that require reading and signing an acceptance agreement. Note that this will also accept non-free software and documentation. See GLEP 23 [3] as well as the make.conf(5) and portage(5) man pages for the detailed syntax of the ACCEPT_LICENSE variable. Further information about licenses can be found in the Gentoo Handbook [4] and on the license groups wiki page [5].
