[gentoo-user] CVSup vs Gentoo's Rsync
Anyone knows?? A google search found interesting details on cvsup. (there's even the purported 50x increase in speed on a 56K link)http://www.cvsup.org/cvsup6.html Then I also found a link in one of GWM (Gentoo Weeky News all the way back in 2002 - http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20021223-newsletter.xml#doc_chap2_sect4) that states [snip] CVSup Under Consideration as Replacement for rsync There has been some discussion in the Gentoo developer community about migrating away from Portage's dependency on rsync and instead utilizing CVSup. Currently used in FreeBSD's ports system, CVSup offers a few distinct advantages, as well as challenges, over rsync: * Local changes will be preserved if you want them to, just like anoncvs. Anyone who's ever had their package.mask file overwritten by an emerge rsync will appreciate this feature. * CVSup is faster and more efficient than rsync. This means that CVSup can improve the efficiency of our Portage mirroring system. * CVSup's threaded design allows for file transfer begin almost immediately, unlike rsync which must build a complete file list first. Surprisingly, CVSup uses the rsync algorithm (which is very efficient) internally to synchronize individual files, but uses a better approach than rsync when coordinating the updates of large numbers of files. * CVSup is written in Modula 3, which means that transitioning to CVSup will require some non-trivial steps to ensure that we have proper Modula 3 support on all architectures. * CVSup also has the added psychological benefit of making FreeBSD users feel more at home.

[gentoo-user] Toshiba Laptop Issues
Hi everybody. This is my first post to this list, mainly because the Gentoo community is so awesome to have documentation for everything that I haven't needed to use it before. I've finally seemed to have run into something that I can't figure out and I can't find very good documentation for. I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite M55-S329 laptop. It came with XP Home preinstalled, along with a bunch of extra stuff I totally didn't need or want. When I turned it on, messages popped up saying that windows was not secure, so I deleted windows and installed Gentoo. Gentoo itself works beautifully on that laptop, actually. The built in wireless lan card and gigabit card were both natively supported by the 2.6.15 kernel even. I was half expecting some problems there. I installed powernowd and enabled all the stuff for ACPI so that I can use different power profiles with klaptop and now I get rather impressive battery life. I was even able to install the Gentoo base system with a stage 3 GRP install just on the battery. I wouldn't have normally, but I was hanging out at Denny's and getting tired of all the stuff in windows popping up and telling me to purchase stuff. I just wanted to use it. Anyway, to get to the point. After everything is installed and working, there are a few kinks that I can't seem to get worked out. Firstly, the suspend to ram function doesn't work properly. I can get it to suspend to ram ok, but when I resume, the video doesn't come back. I am using the 2.6.15-suspend2-r6 kernel. Also, I have the toshiba options in ACPI enabled. I asked on #suspend2 about it, and they suggested to install vbetool and configure /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf to use it, except vbetool wouldn't compile. So, I try the toshiba-utils and using those, only it tells me that the computer or kernel is not supported. I enabled anything related to Toshiba laptops in the kernel, so I'm not sure what else I needed to do. I can suspend to disk ok, but when I resume, the wireless card doesn't come back. If I unload and reload the module, it still will not come up. Dmesg just says 'failed with error -2'. I can't seem to get it working if I compile the drivers in the kernel, I seem to have to use the ipw2200 drivers and module. Everything else works though after a resume to disk. The final issue is the widescreen. From what i've found, I seem to need to configure x.org to use modelines in order to get it to display properly. Although, I have no clue as to how to set that up. I found a page on the internet to automatically make a line in xorg, but it wants all the specifications for the monitor and I can't find them. For the few minutes that I was in windows, I saw that the resolution was set to 1280x768, and that was the max resolution. I can't see any premade modlines or anything for that matter referring to that resolution. If I put that mode in xorg.conf as a resolution, xorg says it's an invalid mode and just goes to 1024x768. At that resolution on a widescreen, everything is stretched across the screen. I seem to have hit a wall with these problems. I'm guessing it's because it's with a laptop, which are relatively obscure when compared to desktops. Thanks in advance for any help! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

wah horsey, whoah! OK... 1. I could have deleted the line by myself, but I didn't because I've never touched /etc/host.conf so far, and because it belonged to glibc, I didn't want to stuff around with it. My system is working, even though I get this error message, so I left it as is until I was sure. 2. Yes I am running an unstable system (~x86), and that includes glibc, gcc, kernels, and every other package I have installed. I am aware that from time to time this may cause problems, but I do it for two reasons: a) I like to help as much as I can in detecting and reporting bugs before they make it to x86 (or other archs), because even though I'm employed as one, I'm not much of a programmer :P b) I like having new features and fixes sooner rather than later. 3. Thanks for the comments, especially from Rumen quoting the einfo lines - I only have warnings mailed to me so I missed that one. 4. I think I will file a bug - IMHO there should have been a new /etc/host.conf, which would have then been labelled ._cfg_host.conf (or whatever) and I would have resolved the problem myself.

Its perfectly reasonable to have local stuff under /usr/local (see FHS: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-4.9.html). in FHS that may be true, but IIRC it is not allowed for ebuilds. In fact I got stomped on in bugzilla for suggesting it in realtion to a different package.

This will update the digest for now. The changes will be overwritten the
next time you sync portage, but it won't matter til the next time you
emerge udev. At which time, hopefully they'll have it fixed in portage.

[gentoo-user] [OT]: Any auto-hiding panels with a bunch of dependancies?
My mantra is tha I don't run desktops, I run applications. My
attitude to KDE and GNOME is The Pox on both your houses. They have
nice apps like KOffice and Gnome Office Gimp, Gnumeric, AbiWord, etc.
I run the apps I need and emerge pulls in any necessary dependancies.
I've been using x11-misc/fbpanel as my dashboard app. It lacks only
one item, namely that it doesn't autohide. Also, it doesn't show up in
the task list, so I couldn't {ALT-TAB} to it if it wasn't set to be
always on top.
Is there a simple dashboard/panel, like fbpanel but with autohide? I
tried emerge --pretend gnome-panel, and it seems to want to build most
of GNOME as dependancies...
