[gentoo-user] emerge improvements... again
I'm getting ready to make a post on bugs.gentoo.org to ask for a couple of feature enhancements for portage's emerge routine. I thought I'd ask here first, to see how everyone feels about them and if there's too much negative response I'll just drop the idea. Two new features I'd like to see added are; 1- In /etc/make.conf add a new key to FEATURES that would cause portage to cleanup the DISTDIR folder if everything emerges cleanly. Perhaps CLEANDIST or DISTCLEAN or something similar would suffice. I never, ever keep the source files after a successfully emerge session and it would be nice if portage would take care of the dirty work for me automatically. 2- We have emerge world that covers everything already installed and emerge sys that covers all the system related stuff How about emerge apps that would ONLY cover things NOT in emerge sys? Face it, it'd be nice Right now, I have to resort to extra steps to emerge apps and well... it'd be a nicer chore for portage to handle. 3- Make a list of hooks available to hackers, like myself. I know I can implement the above features, but the emerge source is huge and teasing out the details is proving more time consumeing than actually implementing new code. Perhaps in /etc/make.conf there could be config lines like, EXECUTE_AFTER_OK_EMERGE and we could fill in a path to our own cleanup scripts...

When booting, I did not access grub selection page. I changed grub.conf so that the boot partition in grub.conf is hda3, and used grub shell to write grub to the MBR. Now when I boot I get to grub selection page, I can boot windows, but when booting Gentoo, I get the following errors: starting devfs error opening file: /etc/devfs.d : no such file or directory could not start /sbin/devfsd then further: fsck.ext3 no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda6 /dev/hda6: the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem Can anyone help?

Re: [gentoo-user] Mail systems
Thank you. Opera is a client but it doesn't understand the system of mboxes or maildirs that Pine uses - at least not as far as I've been able to discover. It can talk to IMAP or POP servers but doesn't seem to have a place for procmail to dump the mail to. With Pine I can tell it to use the local mail folders where mail is dumped after it's fetched and processed by procmail. I've liked the fetchmail-procmail setup as I can have procmail process the mail in many ways and even though Opera can do much of that I'ld like to keep this process. Thanks.

I don't think is a kernel issue, because emerge and so on can show colors (green, red, and so on...). What I'm wondering is just exactly where is white set to equal 8? I suspect that splash doesn't know what 8 means, so it's using the default color (which is probably gray).

However, I can't find a kernel that will run both a) hyperthreading and b) suspend / resume in a stable manner! Here's a little table to show what I mean. The c-state patch is the one required to get HT working. With it, suspend (to disk) doesn't work, without it, usability is crap! kernel c-state patch?

It would take more time that I have right now to try it all again with vanilla. So, my question is: Do I have to give up suspend?

In my opinion, most definitely it's worth filing a report in Gentoo's bugzilla. My thought is that ANYTHING that doesn't work the way you want it to work is a candidate for a bug report. I think that before you file a bug report you owe it to the developers to check for other reports, both in bugzilla and the forums. It sounds like you did that. Now you file and see what happens. I've filed a number of bug reports. Very few of them have ever been blown off. A few have come back 'won't fix', for various reasons. Most (I think) have been fixed. Some have been duplicates that I couldn't find using the search system. You may find that your issue is already in there and you just haven't found it. A few bug reports have been pushed up to the main application's developers. Everything's fair if you do your part. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Sorry, I picked up most of it from fiddling around, but on to your
problem...
For instance, I wanted to run a specific command on every file in a
directory which will create a new file, so I need to do
commandfile1.wavfile1-convert.wav
I need to take each name, create a new name to build the actual
command that gets run and then do that for every file in the

# for file in `ls *.wav`
do
newname=`echo ${file} | sed -e s/\.wav$/-convert.wav/`
command -i ${file} -o ${newname}
done
chug...chug...chug
and it's done. But this will only work on files in one subdirectory.
For recursive operations, replace the first line with this:
# for file in `find . -type f -iname *.wav -print`

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge improvements... again
On Monday 10 October 2005 03:19, Jerry McBride wrote: I'm getting ready to make a post on bugs.gentoo.org to ask for a couple of feature enhancements for portage's emerge routine. Feature enhancements are on hold until the 227 currently open bugs are organized properly and the count lessened somewhat. Note, most existing feature requests have been marked as LATER so the above number is pretty much only real bugs. 1- In /etc/make.conf add a new key to FEATURES that would cause portage to cleanup the DISTDIR folder if everything emerges cleanly. Removing distfiles for packages when they are unmerged/upgraded will be added. When removing all distfiles, you'd end up downloading the same file several times when there are updates to the revision. 2- How about emerge apps that would ONLY cover things NOT in emerge sys? This has not been considered, so opening a bug for this would be okay. Adding an all target is planned, which would cover everything installed regardless of presence in system or world. With such a target, changing world to not automatically include system should be fine. 3- Make a list of hooks available to hackers, like myself.
