[gentoo-user] Can I safely switch (no)multilib profile???
When I installed Gentoo on my desktop PC, I could've sworn that I selected... [15] default/linux/amd64/17.1/no-multilib (stable) ...as the profile. ***THINGS HAVE BEEN WORKING FINE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.*** While updating tonight, glibc dies with a build error... .[31;01m*.[0m ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.36-r7::gentoo failed (unpack phase): .[31;01m*.[0m CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION must be enabled in the kernel to compile a multilib glibc. ...Digging deeper, I ran "eselect profile list" and got... [1] default/linux/amd64/17.1 (stable) * WTF?!? Can I safely eselect profile [15] and emerge update to get back to normal? Also what could possibly change my profile in the first place? -- I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista, pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.

This is a better idea. I'll warn you though, PHP upstream has aggressively discontinued support for php-7.4. You may soon find that it stops working with your compiler or OpenSSL, for example, and you'll be vulnerable to the security issues fixed in php-8.x.

I am not sure of the current status but in the early days of SSD's, this was serious concern. BillK BillK

[gentoo-user] dev-lang/php - making binary
php-7.4 will be getting obsolete in the future and converting my code to php-8 might not be easy. So I want to make a binary of the current dev-lang/php-7.4.33-r2 just in case in the near future they will pull out the old version out of the portage. Will making binary allow me to install dev-lang/php-7.4.33-r2 (binary) with future upgrades (after PHP-7.4 is gone from the portage)? Do I need to make binary of packages dev-lang/php-7.4 depends on? equery d dev-lang/php * These packages depend on dev-lang/php: dev-db/phpmyadmin-5.2.1 (dev-lang/php[ctype,filter,json(+),session,ssl,unicode]) (dev-lang/php[mysqli]) (dev-lang/php[mysql]) media-libs/libvpx-1.12.0-r1 (doc ? dev-lang/php) virtual/httpd-php-7.4 (dev-lang/php:7.4[fpm]) (dev-lang/php:7.4[apache2]) (dev-lang/php:7.4[cgi] Step to make PHP-7.4 binary (am I missing anything)? 1. add package to: /etc/portage/package.use echo " dev-lang/php mysql mysqli gd" >> /etc/portage/package.use 2.) emerge --buildpk dev-lang/php 3.)

Howdy, I finally broke down and bought a SSD. It's a Samsung V-Nand 870 EVO 500GB. My current OS sits on a 160GB drive so should be plenty.

You have a patch file in /etc/portage/patches that is probably no longer needed/valid. Either remove it or rename the directory containing it to specify the currently installed version but exclude the new version. Thank you, yes that was it.

Sources at TUHS have a "glob" utility, but it seems to execute a given command after expanding the glob, instead of outputting a translation (which I think is what you're describing?). Do you remember which system did you see this on? Perhaps this could be a question for alt.folklore.computers or a comp.unix.* group on USENET too!
