Re: [gentoo-dev] anybody interested in writing a Perl ebuild?

DateTime-Format-RFC3339
Ah. The dreaded v-strings.
You'll note: http://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/I/IK/IKEGAMI/
That there is a v before the version specifier in the problem dist,
and the portage ebuild has not factored this into the equation, and is
looking for DateTime-Format-RFC3339-1.0.5.tar.gz when it should be
looking for DateTime-Format-RFC3339-v1.0.5.tar.gz
If you can edit the ebuild source to solve this issue, and then re-run
repoman manifest, that might help. But at least we now know what is
happening wrong with g-cpan.
In editing, you'll be wanting to look for varibles ( mostly in SRC_URI
and I think S ) which use ${PV} and change it to use v${PV}
instead.
These ebuilds don't seem to have any of those variables:

So this is were I stepped in: I tried it and used the geometries from the old .blender file, and the yellowish reflecting image. Problem was to recreate the exact representation of the original logo, by new means of rendering and relighting. I tried to solve them by creating a new material for the g and carefully adjusting the parameters. Also I added a new modifier for the geometry to get rid of the ugly seam at the sharp edge. (This does not modify the geometry, only the rendering of it) However, here are my preliminary results: - the modified .blend-file[1] (tested with blender 2.57b) - new rendered logo image [2] - original logo image (for comparison)[3] What do you think?

Re: [gentoo-dev] Anyone interested in maintaining the Gentoo Handbooks?
AllenJB wrote: Hi all, The situation with the Gentoo Handbook is quite frankly getting beyond a joke for those of us donating our time to help users. I have tried to bring up the issues on the docs team list but pretty much get shot down and told everything is fine and dandy. For example, quoteth the Handbook at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=5 Most PC users should use the stage3-i686-2008.0.tar.bz2 stage3 archive. This results in users starting out with a version of portage that doesn't understand EAPI-2. Guess what happens next. I personally would happily donate my time to working on the docs, if only it didn't involve a markup language nobody else uses. I suggested a closed wiki for official documentation, but was again shot down saying that the existing team (who seem to be doing nothing) would need to reskill and that the server admins dislike wikis. Is it really satisfactory that the official install documentation results in a basically non-working install? AllenJB I always use the x86 Quick install guide [1] I did an amd64 install using it and can not recall changing anything. How about each arch maintaining their own Quick install guide and for more in depth questions point users to irc or the forums and put the handbook in the archives for historical reference if no one wants to keep it current.
