[gentoo-user] about kdrive
Hi, list: The last time I used kdrive(maybe one month ago), I found it was very quick, but it couldn't find the font's dir and always tried to find fonts in /var/tmp/portage/x11-base/kdrive/work/...(sorry, but I can't remember exactly the dir ...), I also have tried kdrive which inclued in xorg-server, but the same wrong was met. Anyone can help me? I now use xorg but I think it is a little slow comparedly. I also curiously why so few people use it. Thank you. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] How can I know which package needs to upgrade without using emerge --sync?

You have to load the page, read it, and decide is anything of interest is new. If so, you then have to emerge --sync anyway, so why not just do it reasonably often anyway? And if you use eix and run eix-sync instead of emerge --sync, then you also get a nice display of all changes to the tree as soon as the the sync is done. It is true that portage is a bit slow. If you are brave you can try paludis (it's in the portage tree) as a replacement for portage - it's claimed to be much faster. But, once again, it's relative: a large update will still take many times as long to compile and install as what it took portage to calculate what needs updating. Or are you actually saying that the unpack/build/install cycle takes much longer than installing an rpm or a deb? That can't be helped, that's how compilation works. Thanks very much, alan. The infomation you gave is very helpful, so I know maybe emerge --sync is one of best and reliable way to update, maybe it has some shortage, but I think that's a gentoo's way, I'm in gentoo's world :-) p.s. please don't top post I'm a novice, thank you, now I know the mailing list's rule. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] How can I know which package needs to upgrade without using emerge --sync?
Yes, maybe http://packages.gentoo.org/archs/x86/stable/ is what I want. Anyway, I still think the way gentoo uses for its package's database update is different with other distro, and seems a bit slower than others, err, I only used archlinux before. And..., what I have said above will cause a war too?...

hello, I heard of that using emerge --sync frequently may hert my hard-disk, so I don't have a try --sync quite often(maybe once a month), but how can I know whether I really need a sync and upgrade my system if a new kernel or glibc is realised?
