[gentoo-user] sys-apps/man-db depends to app-text/po4a
Hello, I want to file a bug and I juste ask you a confirmation. I tried to upgrade my gentoo (#emerge -uD world). Ok. At the end emerge says me that I have preserved builds. So I tried a #emerge @preserved-rebuild. Emerge try to compile sys-apps/man-db-2.6.6 and fails. When I watched the build log, I saw that in the compilation period, po4a is not found. I make an #emerge app-text/po4a, I tried again #emerge @preserved-rebuild. It's ok. Is it correct if I file a bug about that ? Thank you ! Hogren

[gentoo-user] world update wants to downgrade genoo-sources
A recent world update wanted to install a lower version of gentoo-source as a new slot. [ebuild NS] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.14.14:3.14.14 [3.14.16:3.14.16] USE=-build -deblob -experimental -symlink 0 kB I can't say I've had that happen before. I've noticed that the ebuild for my current version of gentoo-sources is not in the portage tree any more. So my guess is that the only gentoo-sources ebuild intended for x86 stable is gentoo-sources-3.14.14: grep ' x86' `pwd`/gentoo-sources-3.1[4-7]* /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-3.14.14.ebuild:KEYWORDS=alpha amd64 arm ~arm64 hppa ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh sparc x86 The list's advice on the matter would be appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] Headless question: Harvesting the results...software needed.
meino.cra...@gmx.de meino.cra...@gmx.de [14-09-30 16:08]: Hi, with lot of help of this forum (***TAHNKS!***) I now have a embedded device which is able to dis/connect itsself from/to the LAN, set the clock via ntp-client and is able to fire up a tool, which collects data from sensors and put those into a file ... even if the tool has no connection to a terminal. Next step will be to connect a GPS module (ordered) to the GPIO pins of that board (which is quite offtopic and I fear therefore my sole problem... ;). Suppose the GPS would already be attached to the board and works... Is there any free available software and data for strict offline useage (which does NOT calls to home), which is able to map GPS data to a street/land map? I need both: The maps themselves and the logic to read GPS coordinates and map movements and ways to those maps. Is something like that available for free or should I directly ask the NSA/CIA/FBI/...? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc Hi all, first of all I want to thank you all, who have participated in this thread and offered their help and wisdom. :) The result is: Now there is a cigarette sized metal case, which includes a Beaglebone Black running Gentoo Linux, an Ultimate GPS receiver chip on a breakout board both made by Adafruit Industries (Lady Ada) and even the software to display position and track (if any). To summarize: - Hardware: Beaglebone Black, Ultimate GPS, metal case for Beaglebone Black, uf.l to RMA adapter cable (which socket nicely fits into a hole of the metal case) and an external GPS antenna (adapter and antenna by Adafruit Industries). Additionally a 4600mAh LiOn accu pack to power the whole thing. - Software: Gpsd, Foxtrotgps, x11vnc, xvfb, ifplugd When I boot the Beaglbone Black via accupack it starts gpsd and the GPS receiver begins to sync with satelites in view. If done gpsd will collect the data. Since the output of gpsdpipe (comes with gpsd) is json format, in the simplest case one could stream the data onto disk/flash. When I boot the Beaglebone at home, I plug in the LAN (which will be recognized by ifplugs, which in turn reinitializes everything needed. Now I fire xvfb and xvnc and start foxtrotgps. On my PC I can easily can display the desktop of the Beaglebone Black via tigervnc (vncviewer). Two things need still to be investigated: How can I store GPSdata onto the flash in a way, that no additional data is stored if no movement is there. And I have to prevent, that a sector/block/organisation unit of the flash is written more than once to prevent ware out of the flash. Secondly I have to figure out how to feed store data into foxtrotgps, which normally directly connects to/with gpsd. Foxtrottgps reads maps from OSM and store them on disk/flash and reuses this. So this kinda delayed offline browsing;)) :)) Thank you very much again! :) Best regards and have a nice weekend! mcc

I would not unmerge any version just yet. If a package absolutely needs python-3.4, it will let you know when you use a -p option. I'd also keep python 2.7 around a while longer, just to be safe. Keeping several old stable versions of python around is a good idea, imho. Can anyone explain or point me to the relevant docs ? Best thing is to look for bug reports on 3.4.* with python. It is stable so there should not be anything significant. Note: without a working version of python, you system may become hosed, so be cautious with python as it is system critical. hth, James
[gentoo-user] Handbook missing portage unpacking
Hello, I was just following the handbook for an amd64 install; I have not looked at the handbook in a while. I downloaded the stage3 tarball and the portage-latest tarball at the same time, like I always have done. The handbook give instructions for untaring the stage3, in section 5, but not the portage tarball, or did I miss something? Obviously I missed something, or is the portion of the handbook (amd64) where you unpack the portage tarball, missing? curiously, James
