Re: [gentoo-user] compile large packages outside /var/tmp/portage/
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/tmp/ying/portage_tmpdir BUILD_PREFIX=/tmp/ying/build_prefix DISTDIR=/tmp/ying/distdir PORTDIR=/tmp/ying/portdir These are the configurations in my make.conf. Details can be found in make.conf(5). -- yegle http://about.me/yegle On Sunday, April 14, 2013 at 2:33 PM, Joseph wrote: How to configure portage not to compile large packages (eg. firefox, thunderbird etc) in /var/tmp/portage/ (RAM disk)?

Re: [gentoo-user] How to set-up shutdown-only user?
git-shell is a good choice. And it's well tested. You just set user's login shell to git-shell, then put some script or binary executable at user's $HOME/git-shell-commands/ directory. -- yegle http://about.me/yegle On Monday, December 3, 2012 at 3:36 PM, Jarry wrote: Hi Gentoo-users, I'm facing this problem: I *have to* allow one non-root user to shutdown my server remotely (ssh). I know I could create account for him and add his login into /etc/shutdown.allow but I do not want to grant him full shell access. I thought about adding /sbin/shutdown -a h now as his shell into /etc/passwd so that right after he authenticates himself, shutdown is called. But I'm not sure something like this is possible (shutdown must be probably called from shel)... Or is there maybe some other way how to create very restricted account where user could not do anything else but call shutdown?

Re: [gentoo-user] change python version for special program
Create a virtualenv would be a better solution.

I have installed Scons with python2.7 setup.py, but if I run scons on command line, it creates the message, that it runs not on Python 3, so can I setup manually that scons should use the Python 2.7 interpreter? Thanks Phil
Re: [gentoo-user] Anybody want to beta test Gentoo with mdev instead of udev?
I'm using systemd as init. Currently there's no .service file for mdev. Hope someone on this list can provide one :-) On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 9:41 AM, Pandu Poluan pa...@poluan.info wrote: Plus, I'm feeling adventurous and will experiment with VirtualBox also ;) Rgds, On Nov 16, 2011 7:52 AM, Pandu Poluan pa...@poluan.info wrote: On Nov 16, 2011 3:21 AM, waltd...@waltdnes.org wrote: On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 02:44:58PM +0700, Pandu Poluan wrote However, my Gentoo systems are all virtual servers (DomU VMs on XenServer). So, the hardware devices are static. Will switching over to mdev give any benefits? I even am toying around with the idea of having a completely static /dev, but still can't find any guide/pointers yet. (Apologies if my email is OOT) The more scenarios we can test, the better. mdev might shave a second or two off the VM's bootup time, versus udev. Okay, I have two staging VMs on XenServer and one on VMware. I'm going to report back what happens. If anything bad happens, *should* be an easy rollback to the previous snapshot. Rgds,
