 No joke, I assure you. As Markos pointed out, a bug has already been opened, 
 and I fell over it with a vanilla make.conf.

 Unless someone knows of a work-around, I'll stick with the old version of 
 portage until the bug-fix reaches the stable system.


So it is broke but works here for me?  I'll get back up after I get my

 There's rules of thumb about this that will always work:

 No object in /var/tmp can be expected to survive a reboot

 The best place for temp files, ironically, is ~
 I set tmpwatch and wipe_tmp so that files survive in /tmp and /var/tmp
 for a month.

 I don't like ~ for temp files since on some, admittedly rare, occasions
 I actually use the gnome gui file manager and don't want a huge ~.  I
 have long ago created ~/tmp (also cleaned after a month by tmpwatch) so
 the only problem is breaking the habit of placing short-term files in
 /tmp instead of ~/tmp.

 OK, I get it. I'd write all that temp stuff to /var/tmp so it doesn't
 get nuked by something cleverly trying to manage /tmp.
 
 But A. McKinnon says (above) that an always valid rule of thumb is
 No object in /var/tmp can be expected to survive a reboot.


There's another rule of thumb that's even more applicable:

We always do it this way, except when we don't

I use this to great effect all the time, usually when I'm determined to
get my own way at work. I highly recommend this approach, when used with
a good healthy dose of intelligence you can get awesome things done :-)


 
 I realize that habit is bad for my (system's) health, but still find it
 hard to break.  I shall try again. Perhaps this is very mild form of
 what intelligent smokers feel :-).

 There is no such thing as an intelligent smoker; there are only stupid
 smokers :-)

 I promise not to mention it again, but you really should quit.
 
 I consider one of my contributions to computer architecture is being at
 least a little influential in getting Per Stenstrom to quit.  At the
 time he was a rising star, who I felt would contribute greatly if he
 didn't get sick from the cigs.  He did quit and has certainly
 contributed.

You are correct of course, and I have no sensible answer for that :-)

The one answer I do have is see earlier comment 8 paragraphs above

 One special case. To boot you most likely will need /dev/console and
 /dev/null. Just inlcude those two device nodes in your tar file.

Instead of all that, you could bind-mount / somewhere and just make a
tarball of that. That way you exclude any other filesystems (which can
also be done with --one-filesystem) and include any device nodes in the
underlying /dev directory.

personally i like to add the clone-to disk as a mirror into my lvm, then
once it is synced, i stop service such as databases, split the mirror

 make.conf, the best reference for these is in the eix man page
 
 While reading up on the various methods in the eix man page, I started
 to wonder whether a setting in /usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf
 was causing this problem. When testing, layout.conf had only a single
 entry, which was:
 
 masters =
 
 I remembered an error message from portage a while ago, which suggested
 setting this to gentoo for backward compatibility. I tried that, and
 the problem went away :) I was able to emerge samba from the overlay
 successfully. Does this make sense?



/headbang :-)

Yes of course, it make a great deal of sense now. Basically, your local
overlay had no idea where the parent portage tree is or how to find it
so couldn't find the eclass directory.

As I understand it, this information used to be hard-coded magic and
overlays would just know where to look. Since recently, you have to
configure it explicitly and not use hidden super-magic.

You would have been getting confusing messages in emerge output about a
faulty masters setting for overlays, pity we didn't spot that up front.
Double pity that there wasn't a clear message or news item about what
the error meant and the impact

The problem is media-video/openshot::sabayon, which depends on
dev-python/imaging. We are currrently in the process of replacing this
with dev-python/pillow. Please report this to the Sabayon maintainers.

No, that is not quite what it says.

The blocker says that dev-python/imaging-1.1.7-r2 and
dev-python/pillow-2.0.0-r1 cannot both be installed at the same time
(they conflict with each other).

It looks like imaging and pillow both satisfy virtual/python-imaging but
openshot from sabayon depends on dev-python/imaging (not the virtual),
which is what is really causing all the trouble.

Normally one would unmerge pillow and merge imaging, but your output
shows something is causing pillow to be merged and we can't see what did
that.

Run emerge -pvuDNt @world to get a tree view of dependencies and see
what is really pulling in which package.

[gentoo-user] [~amd64] Hint for bonehead systemd users (like me)

2013-09-11 Thread walt
I've been struggling with today's update of systemd on ~arch because the
ebuild keeps accusing me of using a compatibility symlink to run systemd
during bootup.

Yes, guilty as charged, I told grub2 to use /usr/bin/systemd as 'init', when
/usr/bin/systemd has been, until now, a symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd.

Yes, I pled guilty to this crime and changed my /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to use
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd instead of /usr/bin/systemd -- and yet I got the
same condemnation every time I tried to emerge -auND world.

An additional glass of chardonnay didn't solve this frustration, so I dared
to read the systemd ebuild, which confessed that it reads the value of
/proc/1/cmdline to find me guilty and ignores my new /boot/grub2/grup.cfg,
which would have proved my innocence.

IOW, you must reboot after changing your grub.cfg before the ebuild will
withdraw it's accusation.

HTH someone avoid the same problem.

Cheers :)

Mike Gilbert's answer earlier is exactly correct. The problem is
openshot from the sabayon overlay - it depends on python-imaging while
everything else depends on pillow.

These two things cannot both be installed at the same time. Hard-masking
pillow might work, but will probably just cause more and different
conflicts.

Your only real choices are to uninstall openshot until the sabayon devs
fix their ebuild, or to fix the ebuild yourself. But there is no portage
magic that can work around these blockers right now.

I'm not familiar with openshot at all, perhaps someone else knows of
another overlay you can use that does support pillow.

What I usually is download the sources by hand, run ./configure and see
if the app directly supports pillow and take it from there. A fix
usually just needs a few minor tweaks to the ebuild.
