If you have the time, explore to integrate your information into the wiki.gentoo.org. In fact you can start your own brother wiki page on wiki.gentoo.org. Also, just so you know, Gentoo folks routinely use rpm as as a source for ebuilds. I can dig out some links, if you like or better yet, others can post those links and relevant urls hth, James

Despite having used qlist many times, it never dawned on me for this purpose. If you're trying to learn how ebuilds work, devmanual.gentoo.org is the definitive resource. If you have specific questions feel free to ask, but just about anything you want to know is there. By all means try reading a few ebuilds to get a hang for things as well, but I'd start with simple ones (avoid trying to learn by looking at packages that use complex eclasses). The simplest ebuilds tend to be for simple, standalone programs. Yes, I've been all over this. It's onto much of the Apache clustering codes that are not simple to configure in the ebuild. Besides the raw packege codes, like mesos, spark, scala, cassandra, etc there are a mulitude of fast moving codes written in Java and Python that need to be tested. Java is not difficult, but voluminous. Every problem somebody encouters, gets solved by some java bolt on code, rather than fixing/extending the main (mesos) sourcecode. As an old C hack, it's a tough pill to swallow, but I'm pursing this as best I can. I sure feel empathy for the java herd, but hey, now we are doing away with herds? Keep in mind that ebuilds work by extending functions defined by PMS, so an ebuild can contain fairly little content and yet be fairly functional (the default functions are running for most of the build phases). The idea is if all a package does is run configure ; make ; make install it often needs almost nothing in the ebuild to work. Yea, I got this (mostlystill new skills...) but it is the fancy footwork in the java and python worlds that keeps me doing more reading and research than coding/compiling/testing. of the Clustering goodies. That said, I'm a bit stressed about 'maven'. We only have maven.bin. Much is dependant on it and java. For many reasons, java is not well supported in Gentoo. I just hope, I do not have to leave the Gentoo distro; because much of what I need (clustering) is java critical. You think I can build a gentoo cluster based on these? [1] [2] Does the Gentoo dev team operate a robust gentoo cluster for gentoo development needs? Should they? Clusters that perform best are built on mesos/spark. Spark is an in-memory computational enviroment for mesos clusters; and it will change *everything* as systems become richly adormed with ample, low cost ram can consolidate into amazing clusters [3] RDD, Resilient Distributed Data is changing everying that is computationally intensive. I do appreciate all of the wonderful folks at gentoo (devs and users). I have been using Gentoo since early 2004. But now, I need robust clustering and from the open source research work I have performed, Apache is the Only viable choice. Ubuntu has it. Debian Has it. RedHat has it. CentOS has it, but, we cannot (willnot?) sustain Apache style clustering at Gentoo because ? (dunno the reason; nothing seems plausible). PS, I *HATE* oracle more than most, but for me that is not a valid reason for piss_poor Java support. Google runs Java on top of embedded linux (it's called Android) We even had Android on Gentoo, it's call Gentroid [4]. If folks would just get over it (java_baggage), we could have a robust Java platform on Gentoo; or am I missing something? For my needs, I do not see path forward for Gentoo, without robust java support. Hell, I'd even be willing to pay for a java support to develop the java (sourcecode) based tools; but in the past that idea has been very frowned up by the gentoo think tank. But, devs with their own agendas can spend their time doing exact what they want (thing gentoo needs); I just cannot pay somebody to do the same (with Java)? As hard as I can, I'm working on this, but I'm no Java maverick far from it. (actually this is just to get it off my chest. I feel better now no needs for anyone to reply, unless you are interested in working on Apache-mesos/spark or java/maven). Please, all flames in a new thread.

Re: [gentoo-user] i965 (Valley View) video acceleration
Daniel, no rush, but I'm still curious how you got mplayer2 accelerating. I tried everything up to mplayer2- with -vo gl but no accel. Hi Grant, Now that I think about it, I think that maybe mplayer2 wasn't accelerating. If it was, it was because opengl was built with vaapi/vdpau support. It's possible that the N2820 in the NUC is powerful enough to do 1080p on the CPU without acceleration, and now that I think about it, i believe CPU usage was 80-90% - but I am also certain that the N2820 is an integrated CPU/GPU... I have to run off again. Hopefully tomorrow or Friday for sure I can look into it. Sorry for the delay... Work is hell right now :-( When you get a chance, I'd be interested to know which opengl package has vaapi/vdpau USE and also your output for: # eselect opengl list - Grant

I can't remember the last time I saw Mesos/Spark on the TOP500 list... but also, they're both young projects.

From what I can tell, the reason is that it is not worth anyone's time to do the massive amount of development and maintainence for something that they won't benefit from.

Re: [gentoo-user] i965 (Valley View) video acceleration
No luck. Weird. It's working in xbmc so I can't be far off. What could I be missing? Sorry I've been crazy busy. I hope tomorrow I'll have some time to power up the NUC and check some settings. I'll get the USE flags and my /etc/portage/package.use if I have one, the profile I'm using and perhaps some versions of software I have installed. It turns out xbmc and vlc support both vdpau and vaapi. mplayer supports vdpau and also vaapi via libvdpau-va-gl (x11 overlay). I haven't installed mplayer2 but it sounds like it supports vaapi. Are all the smart people switching from mplayer to mplayer2? For me: xbmc accelerates, vlc does not, mplayer claims it's accelerating via vdpau in the console output but all I get is a black window. Have you tried vlc? Just got mplayer accelerating. I needed to upgrade from libvdpau-va-gl-0.3.4 to libvdpau-va-gl-. vlc is still a mystery. I got vlc accelerating by upgrading from libva-intel-driver-1.3.0 to 1.3.2 and launching vlc like this: $ vlc --avcodev-hw=vaapi - Grant
