Re: [gentoo-user] OT: How to make mutt open files by *EXTENSION*?

With Type: application/octet-stream I have to save the attachment and manually open with epdfview. Mime-type is useless in this situation. Is there a way to force the file to be opened based on extension rather than mime type? I think you could use something like mutt.octet.filter (There's a perl version at http://www.davep.org/mutt/mutt.octet.filter.pl) to handle application/octet-stream mime types. It uses file to try to determine the proper type and can then use whatever is in your mailcap to determine what to run. It should be pretty easy to extend it to match on filename if you really wanted to. There is also stuff in portage to handle it, like dev-perl/File-MimeInfo, with which your mailcap can look like this: application/octet-stream; mimeopen %s It uses the file extension by default, but can use magic, too.

There's another possibility, that it is one of a number of packages that satisfy a particular dependency, the first listed one. If you have another package installed that fulfils this dependency, emerge -u world won't need to do anything, but with emerge -e world you are telling portage that the other package is not installed, so it picks the first dependency from the list. I checked that - in this case, there are no alternatives. Ah, I see. I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking enough. Yeah, virtual/pam may be one of a list. But if nothing else, I have openssh and openssh says: RDEPEND=pam? ( virtual/pam ) No alternatives there. And I don't have virtual/pam, but do have openssh. So why does '-uDN world' not pull virtual/pam in? My guess is that when virtual/pam was introduced, the openssh ebuild was changed to depend on it without a rev bump. Then while upgrading emerge will use the old ebuild of the installed openssh, and when you use --emptytree it will use the new one in the portage tree. You can test the theory by comparing the ebuild in portage with the one in /var/db/pkg/net-misc/. Henry

The user will probably not be aware of this dependency and not having that ebuild will break stuff. It hasn't been mentioned yet, but ebuilds of all installed packages can be found in /var/db/pkg/category/pkg-ver/pkg-ver.ebuild. emerge --sync can mess around with /usr/portage all it wants, your ebuilds will still be there until you unmerge the package. Right? - Copy an entire profile to an overlay Could one integrate that with eselect profile? How about copying the current profile to /var/db/profile? - Copy everything in an installed ebuild's SRC_URI (or all installed ebuilds) to a different DISTDIR for safety (think ATI driver downloads or kernels here) - Remove old ebuilds and profiles from the overlay that you have since upgraded - Possibly more (...) Here's my idea: How hard would it be to have eix-test-obsolete verify against the global database instead of the local database? If I ran it that way *before* I ran emerge --sync then it would tell me effectively which packages would be removed after syncing. I could then move what I need to move by hand, run emerge --sync, and I'd still be clean because I've saved my files into my private overlay before the sync operation can delete them. This is about losing ebuilds? See comment about /var/db/pkg/... If an enhancement like that is fairly simple - I have no idea - then that would be a great start. Still, it's not protection against the root cause of the problem, but it's a simple way to see ahead of time what might happen. Cheers, Mark ~Henry
