[gentoo-dev] Permission to add a dummy package in tree

2012-12-12 Thread Theo Chatzimichos
Hello,

these days I am working on a puppet module for portage. For testing I
have created a dummy package which can be found here [1]. The package
installs files based on useflags, and it comes in stable, testing and
hardmasked versions, plus it has some useflag changes between
versions. With this package I can make sure that the puppet provider
does its various operations fine. I'm about to start writing unit
tests for that provider, and I would like to use that package for the
testing. It would be preferred to move that package in tree though.
Since the ebuilds are useless for everybody else, and maybe violate
policy about the stable tree, I'd like to know if there are any
objections to move it to tree. If there are none, I'll move it in one
month

 To be honest, I don't mind having dummy packages in the tree. I would
 be happy to convert gentoopm sometime to use them instead of relying on
 random packages to match its criteria.

 However, I'd rather see them in a special category, and preferably
 prefixed with 'gentoo-' to make it least possible for any kind of name
 collisions.

If there are more dummy packages then a separate category seems good

 Dear Gentoo Community,
 
 If you are not a recruit, mentor, or wannabe mentor you may stop
 reading now.
 
 We (recruiters) decided to revert back to the quizzes for the
 recruitment process. The web application does not work as we expected.
 There are a few open bugs, nobody is working on improving this
 application and it's been quite a bit of pain to use it during the
 (long) recruitment process. We understand that quizzes is not an ideal
 way to hire people either, but they worked ok for all these years
 and it is the only alternative we have at the moment. Hopefully, we
 will manage to improve the web application on a future GSOC project.
 
 If you have already submitted your answers on the web application,
 that is fine. However, I would strongly advise future recruits to
 complete the quizzes instead. If you don't, we will ask you to do so
 when we pick you up. Obviously, this will lead to extra delay and
 frustration.
 
 This does not apply to Arch Testers. The recruitment process for Arch
 Testers will still be through the web application

Hello,

for the past two years I am constantly mentoring two-three people at the same 
time at least. Here is my feedback about the webapp:
1) It needs many UI improvements. But every thing that needs improvement 
(along with possible solutions) is already reported in bugzilla
2) Despite its UI being not good, the webapp has proven a way better medium 
for mentor-mentee communication. With the quizes as text files I had to deal 
with random text files spread around (and try to find the most recent one), 
with 
discussion being split in IRC, various mails etc. Now with the webapp I can 
easily leave my comment there (which is better as there is more async 
communication now), I have consistent history of our discussion, and I have 
all the answers of all my mentees in one page, which is awesome because I can 
compare answers and say quickly to my mentee what he forgot to write down.
With that being said, I am proposing the following:
1) I'll announce a call for volunteers, we really need a web designer on the 
project.
2) Please keep the questions in sync between the text quizes and the webapp. 
I'll continue to use the webapp to communicate with my mentees (as it is doing 
more good than harm), and will write a script to extract the answers in the 
text files so you can be happy as well.

tampakrap zmedico: (random idea) would it make sence to generate
local.use.desc in /var/cache, or somewhere in /var, but out of the
tree?
tampakrap because now cvs sees it as unknown file, which prints out
warning in update and collision in commit
tampakrap (commit in profile/ )
zmedico tampakrap: how about if we just add it to .cvsignore?
tampakrap of course that would solve the issue with the
errors/warnings, but I still believe that somewhere is /var is the
appropriate place for it instead of inside the repo
zmedico tampakrap: portage doesn't even use this file, so better to
ask gentoolkit/equery people
tampakrap yeah I know
tampakrap I'll send a mail to -dev instead, and will push myself
hard to handle the migration (if it gets approved by the dev
community)
zmedico if it goes outside the repo, it's probably going in /var/cache/edb
zmedico and organized by repo, like /var/cache/edb/dep is
zmedico seems a lot cleaner to keep it in the repo :)

Since .cvsignore is needed either way, I'm going to do it in three
days if there are no objections. But I'd like some feedback for the
move of the file in /var. Opinions?

  considering the server generates it and the end user never does, i
  don't see the point.  they get it via the normal `emerge --sync`

 Maybe we should consider moving it to metadata/?

 On the other hand, moving it will require fixing all tools using it.
 And as it is already deprecated, I don't see much good in still working
 on it.


 I agree, a sudden move (3 days) will cause nuisance breakage.  If
 anything, lets firm up the schedule for it's removal, so that all tools
 can be updated to use cat/pkg/metadata.xml only for local flags.

 Otherwise there will be a lot of user noise generated over broken tools
 such as several gentoolkit utilities, porthole, kuroo, kportagetray,...

[gentoo-dev] gentoo-src cvs repo and svn repos migration to git

2011-01-30 Thread Theo Chatzimichos
Hello,

I decided to start migrating some CVS and SVN repos to git. First I should do 
a cleanup though, and see which ones are still active.
1) gentoo-src [1] cvs repo contains a number of projects separated to 
directories. Most of them seem really old and inactive. I'd like to point me 
out the ones that are either still used, or they should be migrated because 
they contain usefull data. The others will be removed.
2) There are a number of svn repos in svn.gentoo.org (the list is at 
http://sources.gentoo.org under Subversion Repositories). Same as before, 
I'd like to point me out the ones that are still active, and you (the 
maintainer(s)) want to be migrated to git. In that case, I'll contact you for 
any additional info I will need, such as the structure of the git repo or any 
hooks I should be aware of.
Thanks

I'm sorry I don't share your point. I think I was quite clear, the

happen in layman list and in overlays website, not in gitolite. Take a look at 
the current list in gitweb and tell me honestly how clear and distinct is that 
thing for you. For the record:
the following overlays should move from dev/ to user/:
b33fc0d3, hawking, uberlord, welp
the following should move from user/ to dev/:
dilfridge
at least two people with user/ overlays are going to be gentoo devs soon
and last but not least, smithdanea overlay is useless because c1pher has a dev 
overlay as well now
not to mention the proj/ list.
And now, imagine the state of the user/ dev/ list mess in, say, two or five 
years

devmanual should go to website/, you are right. In project/ belongs anything 
that is not a *.g.o subdomain, and is not an overlay (SOC projects, upstream 
projects (portage, gorg, rbot*, znurt), forks (gitolite-gentoo))

 
 [1] We intend on having public infra repos as well, and just having the
 fewest private repos.

Send them to project/ as well ;)

And I don't see a reason to merge the huge overlays list with the official 
gentoo tree. They are totally different things, and a future alternative to 
viewvc in sources.gentoo.org (maybe trac-git) should reflect that. If we show 
a huge list with ebuild repos to public (especially to new to gentoo) without 
separating the official tree (including user/unofficial/bad-shaped ones), I 
suppose we'll give the impression we are like debian, where the user needs the

kde.

 Hi everybody,
 
 Within the next week or two, the Infrastructure team hopes to have the
 Git repos hosted on the main VCS server migrated into Gitolite [4] for
 ease of management [1]. A more exact timeline will be published within
 the next few days.
 
 We would like to consider re-arranging the namespace of repositories at
 the same time. Suggestions are welcome (to the -dev list), the only idea
 we have so far is a set of top-level directories:
 proj/${PROJNAME}/${REPONAME}.git
 private/${PROJNAME}/${REPONAME}.git
 gentoo-portage.git [2]
 gentoo-portage-historical.git [2]
 
 The entirety of the proj/ namespace will be mirrored to
 sources.gentoo.org (and anon.gentoo.org). This replaces the selective
 mishmash of choosing repositories that are mirrored.
 
 When the change goes live, if you have a checkout from any of the
 following repositories, you will need to change your remote as follows:
 OLD:
 git+ssh://${USERNAME}@git.gentoo.org/var/gitroot/${REPO}.git
 NEW:
 git+ssh://g...@git.gentoo.org/${PATH}/${REPO}.git
 
 The easy way to do it:
 # git remote set-url ${REMOTENAME} ${NEWURL}
 REMOTENAME is usually 'origin', but advanced git users may have another
 name.
 
 It is applicable for the following repositories:
 /var/gitroot/devmanual.git [3]
 /var/gitroot/gentoo-viewvc-templates.git
 /var/gitroot/gstats.git
 /var/gitroot/packages.git
 (plus 3 private repositories that will be listed on gentoo-core)
 
 [1] Yes, this is one of the checkbox items on the way to hosting the
 main repositories in Git.
 [2] This is an idea where I'd like to place the main tree, and the
 additional graftable tree with the full history. I'm not entirely
   happy with this location, and WELCOME suggestions to improve it.
 [3] This is the old location, prior to the repository move to
 git.overlays.gentoo.org.
 [4] Thanks to idl0r for working on some modifications we needed.


Assuming we're going to move the git.overlays.gentoo.org repos there as well 
in the near future, this is the structure i am proposing:

source
 - portage-main.git
 - portage-history.git
infra (or sysadmin)
 - (repo1).git 
 - (repo2).git
 - ...
overlay
 - project (instead of proj)
   - sunrise.git
   - kde.git
   - ...
 - personal (merge dev/  user/)
   - aballier.git
   - alexxy.git
   - ...
website
 - blogs.git
 - planet.git
 - forums.git
 - gstats.git
 - packages.git
 - www.git (the gentoo cvs repo)

That's not possible, as it is not an attribute that the developer himself 
should touch, but the overlays team only. Furthermore, access to overlays is 
granted to non-developers as well, so either way it isn't easier for us

+1, I strongly believe that LDAP is the answer

 
 Cons:
 - complaints that LDAP is too hard to use.

I don't agree with that, but just out of curiosity, is it possible to use a 
web interface? phpldapadmin or something
 
 Bonus plans:
 - Maybe move mail aliases to LDAP? We'd lose comments :-(.

+1 on that too

 The subthread got renamed to more fit its purpose.
 
  If you mean the thread you started that tangentially took off from this
  one, about eselect profile improvements: I support that proposal,
  but it will take some time to get implemented. Is anyone already
  working on that?
  
  In the meantime I see no reason for that to halt or postpone the
  current desktop profile improvements as prepared by Theo.
 
 I argued that it's a bad idea to add yet more profiles, when we could
 avoid that (while even improving things additionally).
 
 But I guess I'll have to bring some direct points why I think
 implementing the alternative as I described ASAP is better than ever
 doing this gnome/kde subprofile thing:
 
 * The split desktop profile plan retroactively modifies 2008.0 and 10.0
 profiles. Not a good thing for obvious reasons. (Of course the
 subprofiles could also be added together with a new release, as proposed
 for the alternative idea)
 * Adding yet more subprofiles, increasing repoman and pcheck time,
 possibly confusing users (migration things; changing USE flags in a
 perceived stable release profile leading to unexpected --newuse
 triggering, etc)
 * Making it harder to get both GNOME and KDE things out of a profile
 (though the common things in desktop profile right now is quite
 suboptimal for GNOME)
 * Putting the problem of suboptimal subprofiles handling under the
 carpet again, greatly reducing the motivation for people to work on the
 alternative better proposal


First of all, I'll delay the commit since I need to write documentation 
patches, and I won't be able, as I'll leave soon for a conference and will be 
back on Monday. Maybe I'll find time to prepare something there, but I can't 
promise.

Now, to reply to Mart:

I found your proposal about mixing profiles awesome, and I am willing to work 
on this. In fact, I'm going to raise the issue on KDE's meeting this Thursday 
at 20:00 UTC. Any freedesktop team members will be welcome there. But I'm not 
going to step up from the current workaround I worked on, as things are not 
that tragic. I will document and announce everything, and I will be watching 
forums and IRC for some days to provide support. The only real problem in my 
opinion would be this, people get confused about useflags and unexpected --
newuse results. (btw I already announced it once in my blog, I will do it 
again, and we'll also provide a news item, so I doubt this is even a real 
problem as well). To sum up:
1) Not oblious to me? / Not bad from my point of view?
2) I doubt users will be conflicted, I'll benchmark repoman and hit back
3) agreed, but i don't see a problem there
4) I'll be the motivator for this :)

There are two new subprofiles under desktop, one for GNOME and one for

subprofile. Users of other DEs or WMs may stick to the desktop profile.

Attention: KDE or GNOME specific USE flags have been stripped from the
desktop profile. More specifically:
GNOME subprofile contains: USE=eds evo gnome gstreamer
KDE subprofile contains: USE=kde

 No need for the drama, my friend. A couple of more choices in

 to be added to docs that refer to the desktop profile, yes. That's
 a good point. Let's start identifying which docs need updating.

  profile :-) I can file a bug it needs to be done :-) Just let me know
 
 That's part 1 (installing), chapter 6 (base system), section 6.b.
 (portage), heading Choosing the right profile.
 
 The handbook (at least the amd64 handbook I checked, presumably they're
 pretty much the same in this regard) now says to use eselect profile, so
 as long as it's listing the correct choices, the examples and details
 don't matter quite so much.  However, the examples/details do mention
 desktop and server profiles (plus no-multilib for amd64) as alternates to
 the generic arch profile, so they /could/ be changed to additionally
 mention kde and gnome.  But with eselect profile doing the heavy lifting
 already, I'd not call it critical.
 
 But be sure that eselect is getting the correct listing... for all archs.
 =:^)

I could submit a handbook patch too, but I guess the important thing is to 
make it known to people that are already using the desktop profile. Still, a 
small reference can be made to handbook, but just a small one, as people that 
are going to install KDE or GNOME should refer the relevant installation 
guides. I don't know, Nightmorph has the final word, so I will wait for 
instructions.

BTW, did anyone test it?

  Hi there!
  
  Resulting from discussion during last Gentoo KDE team meeting taking
  place 22 Oct 2009 at #gentoo-meetings (summary fill be available soon),
  having Gentoo GNOME team representative, it's been decided to go ahead
  with splitting desktop profile to DE-specific subprofiles, to avoid
  bloat and provide desktop specific separation which should result in
  desktop subprofiles being actually practical.
  It's been proposed to:
  
  - keep 'desktop' profile but strip it from any desktop specific features
  and settings, making it default recommended choice for anyone using
  non-KDE and non-GNOME desktop environment, yet avoiding USE flags bloat.
  Any other DE is free to join and create own DE-specific subprofile if
  needed.
  
  - create 'KDE' (or 'kde') and 'GNOME' (or 'gnome') subprofiles within
  'desktop' profile and move any desktop specific things there. This should
  in theory allow us to not add 'recommended' IUSE defaults to desktop
  specific packages, but keep those settings in profile - making profile
  effectively 'out of the box' solution for those who need it.
  
  If you have any comments, suggestions, important notices regarding this
  change, please keep discussion in gentoo-desktop mailing list.

  Opinions?
 
  I hate package moves, so is it really *really* necessary?

 I have to agree. app-admin is hardly among the largest categories.
 Perhaps we should consider splitting up the 400 odd packages in kde-base
 (kde-graphics, kde-admin, kde-games, etc)  =P

 As for app-admin-eselect, I'd favor tags over increasing the category
 levels, tho I'm not convinced either is necessary at the current time
 (tho tags might make searching easier, in some ways).

 AllenJB

kde-base is OK please don't touch :) Also i removed one package from kde-base 
today :P

 - KDE 4.1 packages updates... or should I say - none of it! Latest

All the above answers were enough for your other complaints, so let me
answer about the KDE issue. I'm a KDE HT and one of the maintainers of KDE
overlay. I use KDE snapshots (currently KDE RC1) in my laptop and KDE live
ebuilds on desktop, so I use the overlays' ebuilds for everyday use for a
long time now. KDE itself had many issues, a significant amount of which
have been resolved. No crashes, many missing features are imported and many
many impressing innovations being introduced in every full recompile.
Although there are still some missing KDE4 or QT4 applications like k3b, and
some others have some features missing, depending on what a user needs. But
the upstream KDE developers are doing a great job, they import features and
solve bugs very quickly and i can recommend the overlays for everyday use.
Concerning the Gentoo KDE Team, we are fully prepared for the upcoming KDE
4.2 release, we have made major changes to kde4 eclasses, supporting many
features that were announced by scarabeus, and we still solve bugs for 3.5
and 4.1 releases. *The latest 4.1.4 release hit the tree the same day it was
released by upstream *and it was available in kde-testing overlay a week ago
hardmasked! KDE itself is a popular area amongst Gentoo projects and this
can be easily seen in our IRC channel and our bugzilla list. So, please stop
complaining for non-existent problems and go help the community :)


Re: [gentoo-dev] Automatic filing of stable requests

very good idea. It could also be expanded with a reason variable for
example, in case auto-stable-request is set to false, with values
reason=beta or reason=buggy

 I assume you mean proj/kde in the git overlays.

 Please have the KDE team forward/confirm your request.

there is no need to do anything more, i got access to proj/kde-crazy in the 
git overlays as live kde ebuilds moved there. thank you
