Which is normal because an up to date system doesn't have to download
anything. But when i add the emptytree option emerge -pveuND world i
get this (output reduced):

 emerge -pveuND world

 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

 ...
 Calculating world dependencies  . ... done!
 [ebuild  N] sys-devel/binutils[2.16.1-r3]USE=nls
 -multislot -multitarget -test -vanilla 109 kB

 pam -activefilter -atm -dhcp -eap-tls -mppe-mppc -radius 55 kB
 ...

 Total size of downloads: 164 kB

So why are there appearing some apps now for which portage has to
download something? Using eix on sys-devel/binutils and net-dialup/ppp
tells me that i have exactly those ebuilds listed above installed.

I think that there have been made changes to this ebuild without
increasing the version number. For example binutils from 2.16.1-r3 to
2.16.1-r4. So portage doesn't upgrade this package although there have
been changes. Or is there a portage option i don't know until now which
i have to use for getting this apps updated. Am i guessing right in any
of this cases or is this another problem with portage?


Actually, with the 'emptytree' option, it should be trying to rebuild
everything in your 'world' set along with the dependancies using their
current versions and use flags.  I'm guessing that the odd behavior is
because you're using it in conjunction with 'uND'.  'Update' and
'newuse' go against part of what 'emptytree' does, and 'emptytree' is
as 'deep' as it gets. :)

Re: [gentoo-user] date-specific cp/mv

I'd like to be able to cp or mv certain files from a

man cp mentions the '--preserve' option but I don't
think that's what I need.

Does somebody know of some sort of script or perl or
python pass that'll do it?


something akin to:

find srcdir -type f -mmin 5 -exec cp {} destdir \;

will copy all files in srcdir that have been modified within 5 minutes
to destdir.  check the find man page for other ways of checking the
files or restricting how far find will recurse, etc..

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - aisleriot is gone!

 should be available.  The README file in
 /usr/share/doc/gnome-games-2.10.0 listed the filename
 as sol and I tried locateing some of the other
 games included in the gnome-games package.  They were
 in /usr/bin, but sol was not there.  Any advice on
 this?  I even re-emerged the gnome-games package last
 night with no luck...

be sure to add the guile use flag for gnome-games.  without it, sol is
not built.

Re: [gentoo-user] No HTML in posts?

2005-05-03 Thread Trey Gruel
 If the sender disables HTML, no one gets it. If the recipient disables
 HTML, then everyone gets what everyone wants.

and you're still wasting the bandwidth of the server and users. 
granted, for the individual user, the bandwidth used isn't that much,
but think about the thousands of messages that the server has to send
out for each mail it gets in.  it adds up quick there.

Re: [gentoo-user] Dependency Question

 My question, when I do an emerge -p --deep --update world emerge tells
 me that it wants to install kde-base and kde-libs for version 3.3.2.
 I have upgraded my KDE to version 3.4 and have uninstalled all the KDE
 3.3 packages.  I assume that emerge wants to install those packages
 because I have a package installed that depends on them.  Is there a
 command that I can run to find out which package that is?

if you make that 'emerge -pt --deep --update' it will show you a
'tree' view that shows what depends on what.

Re: [gentoo-user] Question about kernel-equivalence

 Ok, is:
 kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r4
 the same as:
  kernel-2.6.11.4
 plus/minus the Gentoo-specific patches?

possibly not.  the gentoo-sources package has its own revision numbers
(the -r* bit).  that's not saying that the changes in the
vanilla-sources (kernel.org with no extra patches) aren't included,
but there's no real association between vanilla 2.6.11.4 and gentoo
2.6.11-r4 aside from the fact that they're both based on the
kernel.org 2.6.11 release.  looking at the patches included in
gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r6 (latest stable gentoo-sources), it includes
the patches for 2.6.11.6, but there the numbers aren't guaranteed to
match up like that.

disclaimer:  i'm not one of the maintainers for gentoo-sources.  they
could have made a decision to hold revisions of gentoo-sources for the
new stable patches that greg kh maintains in order to keep the
revision numbers matching.
