I do have the nice and ionice settings in make.conf tho. That helps a
lot for sure. Without those, it would likely slow down a lot.
Which settings do you use for that?

This is my settings at the moment:
PORTAGE_NICENESS=5

MAKEOPTS=-j6
FEATURES=buildpkg sandbox fixpackages parallel-fetch --keep-going
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=--with-bdeps y --backtrack=30
That works very well here for me. Rig, AMD 4 core CPU at 3.2Ghz, 4Gbs
of ram at DDR3 1600 and SATA 3.0Gbs/sec. Your mileage may vary tho.

If you set it up to email you stuff using e.g. your email account, you would also need authentication credentials: Ya, but he's got a Postfix server listening on that LAN, so the other machines (using ssmtp) don't need to authenticate to that. This thread has become far too complicated. Postfix can be set up editing only about 3 lines lines in its config file. I dont't think you have followed the thread correctly. The OP did say he had a user/pass in his ssmtpd.conf which I assumed was for accessing the final relay host. That was the reason for the extra lines. Please forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I believe that was for accessing the external SMTP server belonging to the OP's ISP. Formerly the main box used ssmtp to do that, too. Now the main box has migrated to Postfix, so the other boxes on the LAN can just relay through that. Stroller.

[gentoo-user] emerge world, USE flags and packages that aren't there
Hi all, I've got a PC that I use as a media computer, music, videos etc. I haven't updated it in ages so decided now is the time to give it a go. I issue the command, and subsequently get: *** harold ~# emerge --pretend -NuD world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy dev-vcs/subversion[-dso,perl]. !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - dev-vcs/subversion-1.6.15 (Change USE: -dso) (dependency required by dev-vcs/git-1.7.4_rc3 [ebuild]) (dependency required by sys-devel/gettext-0.18.1.1-r1 [ebuild]) (dependency required by dev-libs/popt-1.16-r1 [ebuild]) (dependency required by dev-util/pkgconfig-0.25-r2 [ebuild]) (dependency required by dev-lang/python-3.1.3 [ebuild]) (dependency required by app-admin/python-updater-0.8 [installed]) *** Well, it's a media computer so subversion shouldn't be there - I think it's a leftover from a previous task for this machine. So I now issue the command, and once again get: *** harold ~ # emerge -C subversion * This action can remove important packages! In order to be safer, use * `emerge -pv --depclean atom` to check for reverse dependencies before * removing packages. --- Couldn't find 'null/subversion' to unmerge. No packages selected for removal by unmerge harold ~ # *** So, I'm now confused. I'm not a Portage rocket scientist, but my reading of this is that subversion needs some flags set, but subversion isn't there Is this correct?

Any ideas as to how I can get myself out of this pickle? Looks like subversion is not installed, but the world update will pull it in. But it cannot be installed because of the dso USE flag, whatever this may be. Do you have it set in make.conf or /etc/portage/package.use? It seems so. Add dev-vcs/subversion -dso to your /etc/portage/package.use to get rid of it, subversion should build then. Other tips for world updates after a long while: - Add -t to the emerge command, the tree output sometimes helps to see where problems come from. Would not heklp in this case, though. - Separate the update into smaller tasks. Start with emerge -DautvN system, and do the same for world later. Wonko
