hi why emerge sync is sometime very long, at the step update portage cache, sometime it takes 1mn and sometime lot longer ? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

erf im stupid :D, thx for answer i will use -v option more often ^^ On Thu, Dec 22, 2005 at 01:04:00PM +0100, Holly Bostick wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] schreef: hi, actually i installed gaim with no gnome support (i have 1.4 gaim version), but since 1.5 gaim still want gnome lib ? why USE=-gnome dont works as before ? USE=-gnome *does* work as before; it's likely that your problem is related to a new USE flag: emerge -pv gaim These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

It stands for Evolution Data Server, and it drags in Evo Data Server, probably Evo, and a whole bunch of GNOME deps for those packages. This is all very well and good if you want Evo support in Gaim, but if you don't use the Evolution mail client, then disable this flag.

Re: [gentoo-user] iptables / ipp2p
Try this : emerge -s ipp2p emerge show you your ipp2p module. in fact iptables is just command line utility to set rules, modules are not part of iptables itself, modules for iptables are extra module or kernel inside module.

But it makes perfect sense to keep the 32 bit bin packages in portage. Regards, Mrugesh how about Opera? what is proper way to determin is it 32 or 64 app? there isn't such thing as opera-bin in portage however it must be 32 bit. i keep it'cause works with netscape-flash. Try the command file on your opera binary, and it will says to you if its an elf 32 or 64 bit. there is no opera-bin in portage because opera exist only in binary so we dont care about it.

It is also said that for `desktop' use there isn't much point. Somewhere in that FAQ there was a link to the gentoo forum (thread) where I read users were/are having the exact opposite results. They were getting much better results with the 64-bit. I think at the end this becomes one big debate, just like comparing AMD MHz and Intel MHz. My reasoning on whether to compile in a 64-bit environment, or a 32 is quite simple: if you don't want to hasle (which so far has not been as emerge sorts out everything it seems for you) of sometimes letting gentoo do tricks for you to run 32 bit programs with a second set of 32-bit libs etc, then just stick with 32 all the way. If you want to be stubborn (like me) and use your computer like it's supposed to be, and with a scense of adventure, use 64-bit. At the end of the day I can say hey guys, I'm running a 64-bit OS ;-) My notebook (HP zd8000) has the P4 with 64 bit extensions or emulation or whatever it is called. I am curious about the 64 bit OS's, but really have no idea whether there is any advantage whatsever except for the experience of using such a system. I do however, use Complex-128 variables in Numeric Python. But since my cpu is under some sort of emulation, I don't know if anything would run faster. Maybe I just have to try it to find out.
