I've used runit for a little while. It uses daemontools from qmail to 
monitor services. Hence it also has auto-restarting of failed daemons.
I haven't used it long enough to know about dependencies though. I 
thought runit was pretty good.

So why don't I offer something ?  Perhaps a cc to Gentoo-user too,
which has been rather technical in recent weeks (smile).

I have 6 browsers installed (besides Mozilla & Seamonkey),
ie Lynx Dillo Galeon Epiphany Konqueror Firefox.
My main use is to read each day's news (I'm a long-time news junkie).
Over time, I've used Lynx, Opera, Galeon, Konqueror & Firefox
roughly in that order since starting just 10 years ago.
For some time, I had been using Firefox, but with increasing irritation,
as it has been getting heavier & slower, some sites worse than others:
it seems to have a special difficulty with Javascript.

Somewhat by accident, I tried out Epiphany backed by Seamonkey
& have been using it now for the past 10 days with much satisfaction.
For a start, it's significantly faster than Firefox.
Also, it's easy to hide/unhide the toolbars &/or use keyboard alternatives.
You can transpose tabs like Firefox & scroll thro' them with the mousewheel
just like Konqueror, but really neat is the Tabs menu,
which lists all open tabs with titles, which you can click to select.
This is great for me, as I go thro' Financial Times or Toronto Star indexes,
opening likely stories in new tabs, then reading them in logical order.
No you can't recall a closed tab, but history is a partial replacement.
There have been a couple of bugs, but no more than Konqueror.

I've also discovered that you can set up Klipper (on my KDE panel)
to start your app of choice on an URL : with Epiphany,
I can use Ctl-L to show the doc URL hilited in a location bar,
which opens Klipper offering to open it with Lynx (my choice),
which I then use to make a local text copy or e-mail to a comrade.

Generally, I'm a KDE fan & not keen on Gnome eccentricities,
but -- as with Gvim & Gqview -- Epiphany is a Gnome app to my taste.

I believe the gcc ebuild does do a bootstrap compile, which does imply
that emerge -e system is redundant. 

But, we had a huge long rambling thread on this point recently which I'd
rather not rehash again :-) and IIRC the general consensus was that
'emerge -e system ; emerge -e world' was the way to go, for reasons
broader than just gcc. I forget the details, maybe we should both check
the archives.

What I do know is that 'emerge -e system ' is relatively quick compared
to 'emerge -e world', so the extra step didn't hurt much when I recently
upgraded gcc, it was something like 2 hours for the one, and 36 for the
other (!)

I have read the docs, several times. I was replying to a confessed
newbie so had to keep it simple so he had a chance of understanding the
big picture and also not fscking his system. You and I could probably
fix that if it happened to us, the OP probably could not. There's more
at stake here than just gcc - there's an entire toolchain which very
very few people actually understand, including most people on this list.

Incidentally, gcc cannot use itself to compile itself - that's
nonsensical and a classic bootstrap problem. It uses a binary (which
happens to be a gcc) to compile the source code for gcc which produces
another binary. That binary then compiles the same source for gcc to
produce yet another binary, etc, etc. For stage 1 to work at all, there
has to be a compiler available to compile a compiler, and that first
compiler that *must* be available is probably the compiler that the rest
of the system uses, or the one on the LiveCD. So if you want to be
pedantic about building gcc, then please be correctly pedantic and
pedantically correct :-)

Back then we were speaking of a gcc upgrade in which case Richard doesn't 
disagree with the emerge -e system step which is also mentioned in [1]. We 
were definitely NOT talking about a minor modification of CFLAGS between -Os 
and -O3! That's where you're wrong.

Hi Valerio,

I think you'll find the above program does work on wired networks - 
check the README file and search for the text 'wired' (linked off the 
main page above):
 
http://hostap.epitest.fi/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/hostap/wpa_supplicant/README?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain


They give a few examples on how 802.1x can be used with wpa_supplicant 
over a wired connection (note that I haven't done this myself).

[gentoo-user] Missing icons in Evolution

[sdoma]

Hi,

since rebuilding my system to a stable one using the 2006.0 live CD
there are most of the icons in Evolution missing. They are replaced by
this "Broken picture" symbol or just empty (see the attachement).

Should I file a bug?

I could take them from the live CD and copy them to the proper location
to make Evolution find them. Does anyone know where this location is?

Thanks in advance

Can you be absolutely certain I'm wrong? Can you absolutely guarantee
that a recompile with a different config MUST be treated differently to
an upgrade?

As I see it the only difference I can count on is that the first just
happens to not involve a change in version number. In both cases a new
binary is made which replaces the old one, and said new binary may or
may not include features/configurations that are incompatible with other
already existing software.

The only way you could guarantee that is if the gcc sources ignore
CFLAGS and other settings when compiling gcc in an effort to build a
compiler that is always in a known state with known output. That would
be an awfully good idea for a compiler but I haven't seen a clear
statement anywhere that this is in fact what is done, so I don't assume
that it is that way.

Unless you have assumed that gcc is not to be recompiled, but only given
different options to use in the future when doing it's thing, in which
case we are both right, but talking about different things

[gentoo-user] Help with bash/awk script

[Ow Mun Heng]

I'm trying to figure out how to do this sequence in this bash script.
The problem I'm having is how to make $i to change according to the
changes in $x

My current solution is a bit of a hack and stupid.

One more thing, my current solution will parse the file _each_ time for
_each_value/head which essentially means it reads the file multiple
times. Is there a better way so to reduce the # of reads/parses? (Does
awk parse the file once or multiple times, that is if I were to rewrite
the below entirely in awk language)

Thanks

Runit does *not* depend on bash scripts but whatever you want. The
runsv binary just starts ./run in the service directory.

I like fefe's minit better, because you can even set arguments to
that ./run binary. That way, you can just make a symlink to the daemon's
executable and store the params in that mentioned file. This means you
don't have to start some kind of shell or script in order to execute
the daemon.

heh, runit's main purpose is "service supervision". If it wouldn't
restart failed daemons, the easiest approach would have bin
a /bin/sh-skript as init.

Yep, that's right. Minit has better dependency management, though, but
I think this would be overkill in most embedded systems anyway.

I don't think that start scripts for various daemons are absolutely
needed. They're more part of the init's documentation. And hey: For
best speed, multi-distro compatibility is a no-no.

I'd like to add that gentoo's own /sbin/rc is not a feature of
sysvinit. sysvinit is not *that* bad, after all. What has gone wild is
the /etc/init.d style of doing things.

If I understand correctly, you want to avoid all the if/elif tests on $x.

What about

low=`expr $x \* 7 + 1`
high=`expr $low + 6`

for i in `seq $low $high` ; do

#  your code here

awk parses the file only once. One line at a time. Of course that goes for

If you want more help with this I would suggest that you posted a short sample

is there any consideration to take care of when installing wireshark?

I've managed to solve it using Etaoin's help but I'll post the input and
output files here anyway, (as I can't understand why you're using $x in
the 1st query. Ah.. Figured it out, you meant to use $1 (to subtitute
the cat $1. Is there a performance difference?

I can't use the 2nd invocation of awk (for tpiert) mainly because the NR
is different

$awk 'tolower($0)~/(average)/{ print NR,$5","$10}' < test 
4 1.4E+005,1.0E+000
6 1.9E+004,9.0E+001

it doesn't line up. the grep makes it this way

$egrep -i "(average)" test | awk '{print NR,$5","$10}'
1 1.4E+005,1.0E+000
2 1.9E+004,9.0E+001

HEnce I can use the NR sequentially.

Thanks

$cat test

[gentoo-user] Bind (Named) SOA Records

[Michael Crute]

I am trying to write a scrip to maintain my Bind zone files and I was
wondering if it is valid to cram the SOA all onto one line. I have
scoured the internet and can't find anyone who does it that way. My
question is... will it break stuff? Right now my SOA looks like:

@   IN  SOA ns1.domain.com.  hostmaster.domain.com. (
2006082201  ; serial number
12h  ; Refresh
1h ; Retry
2w ; Expire
1h ; Min TTL
)

what I am proposing is this:

@ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. admin.domain.com. ( 2006082201 12h 1h 2w 1h )

Are the two equivalent?

[gentoo-user] Server disabled: baselayout or /etc/conf.d/net ?

[Grant]

Hello,

I updated my remote server to the latest baselayout this morning.  I
received an elog mail about /etc/conf.d/net containing deprecated
config so I updated that according to net.example.  Then I rebooted
and now there is no response from the server when I try to connect
over the Internet.

The new baselayout doesn't agree with my laptop very well during the
runlevels, but it does end up fully functional.  My server's old
/etc/conf.d/net contained *only* these:

ifconfig_eth0=
gateway=

and they weren't mentioned in net.example so I replaced them with what
seemed to be their replacements:

config_eth0=
gateways_eth0=

I triple-checked my syntax before I rebooted.  Does my /etc/conf.d/net
sound OK?  If so, it's probably a baselayout problem and I'll roll
back to baselayout-1.11.15-r3 .

They should be.
"DNS and BIND", 4th issue, German iprint, from Paul Albitz & Cricket 
Liu, O'Reilly 2004 says (I translate free): The brackets allow the 
SOA-Record to go over several lines.


So I would assume they allow but this is an option only.

Search the package database for packages installed more than X days
ago.  To find everything that was last installed more than 3 days ago,
you can use:

cd /var/db/pkg
find ./ -name "*.ebuild" -mtime +3

Um, oops.  4.0.3 is masked  by "missing keyword" for every arch except
~ia64.  Unless you have "-*" in  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS  or
/e/p/package.keywords, you should not have been able to install this.
FYI 4.1.1 is the current ~x86 version.

You should take a look at "emerge --info | grep KEYWORDS" and "grep
gcc /etc/portage/*".


Any suggestions? Should I choose [8] now? If so, will I then have to re-emerge 
world and system?


Considering that you just recompiled your system with a gcc version
that the gentoo devs consider to be broken for your archyes, yes,
and yes. :-(

Now that sounds rather doomsday-ish, it probably really just means
there are a lot of things in the tree that will not build with it, and
not that it produces broken binaries.  But it is better to be safe on
this one.

[gentoo-user] mod_security: apr_thread_create error, apache chroot not starting...

[Jarry]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure my apache to run in chroot using
mod_secure, following info on gentoo-wiki:

[gentoo-user] [OT] Servidor Web com HTML/URL reescrito

[Daniel da Veiga]

Totalmente OT, mas usuários Gentoo são uma das melhores fontes de
informação depois do Google :) em todo caso, me desculpem se deveria
ter postado em outro lugar...

Existe algum módulo para o Apache ou outro server que me permita,
através de um formulário, acessar uma página que é acessível pelo meu
servidor, mas não pelo meu cliente?

No caso, estou atrás de um squid que não permite HTTPS, e preciso
acessar uma página segura (não possuo acesso ao servidor squid),
pensei em instalar no meu Gentoo de casa um web server que
reescrevesse tanto o HTML como os forms para surfar HTTPS através do
computador de casa.

Eu andei pesquisando e achei, dentro do apache, diversos módulos e
configurações ligados a proxy reverso, mas não sei se entendi bem, é
disso que eu preciso?

Eu gostaria exatamente de algo que funcionasse como o site:
http://www.the-cloak.com

Isso existe ou vou ter que escrever meu próprio em PHP?

On 8/23/06, Alan Mckinnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Incidentally, gcc cannot use itself to compile itself - that's
nonsensical and a classic bootstrap problem. It uses a binary (which
happens to be a gcc) to compile the source code for gcc which produces
another binary. That binary then compiles the same source for gcc to
produce yet another binary, etc, etc. For stage 1 to work at all, there
has to be a compiler available to compile a compiler, and that first
compiler that *must* be available is probably the compiler that the rest
of the system uses, or the one on the LiveCD. So if you want to be
pedantic about building gcc, then please be correctly pedantic and
pedantically correct :-)


Yes, I'm aware of how the bootstrapping process works.  And if we want
to be really pedantic about it, I'm still right, because the stage1
compiler that is built using the existing system compiler isn't called
gcc...hmm, what is it...xcc, xgcc...something with an x in it anyway!
So there is still no such thing as a "gcc built with the 'system
compiler'" :-P

More seriously, there is some really _stupid_ information about
upgrading gcc on the gentoo-wiki and forums that seems to crop up here
every few months, and it makes me really, really angry.  Stupid crap
like needing to "emerge -e system ; emerge -e system; emerge -e world;
emerge -e world".  Or needing to rebuild all binaries that link
against a library whenever you rebuild the library.  Or that you
should merge gcc twice because you want a version of gcc that is built
with the same version of gcc.  All of which is utter nonsense.

FYI, as Bo pointed out, I am _not_ saying that the emerge -e system
step is redundant.  I completely agree that "emerge -e system ; emerge
-e world" is the safe route for upgrading gcc.  I've been convinced of
that by the previous threads on this topic.

I was specifically replying to your comment: "Your current compiler
was built with -O3, and you want to rebuild the system using a
compiler compiled as -O2, hence the 2 step process."  This is very
much in the same line of thinking as those wiki pages and forum
postings, and is wrong.  Giving a newbie misinformation doesn't help
them in any way.

Oh, and BTW, on gentoo your optimization choices for gcc are -O, -O2
or nothing, because all other -O options are replaced with -O2 by
toolchain.eclass.

I would like to know if there's an apache module, or maybe another

Can you be absolutely certain I'm wrong? Can you absolutely guarantee
that a recompile with a different config MUST be treated differently to

We are still talking about CFLAGS here, right?  Then ok, no, it is not
_necessary_ to treat this differently than an upgrade in gcc versions.
One can happily run "emerge -e system; emerge -e world" and get to
the same result.  But that doesn't change the fact that the emerge -e
system step is redundant _in this case_.

Why am I sure?  Because many ebuilds in the tree already replace -O3
or -Os with -O2, or add/remove -fsome-flag based on useflags and what
is known to break (or fix) something.  So on any Gentoo system, you
are practically guaranteed to have some binaries that are built with
different flags than the libraries they link against, and they all
play nicely together.  It is part of the standard C/C++ ABI that gcc
defines, and compiler flags must not have any effect on that.


As I see it the only difference I can count on is that the first just
happens to not involve a change in version number.


No change in version number means no change in ABI.


The only way you could guarantee that is if the gcc sources ignore
CFLAGS and other settings when compiling gcc in an effort to build a


Gcc is (almost) always built with -O2 on Gentoo, but it does not
matter anyway.  The CFLAGS that gcc is built with does not effect the
binaries it generates...only the code and the flags passed to gcc
during the compilation effect this.  If your model were correct, you
would need a gcc built with -Os for using -Os, a gcc built with "-Os
-fweb" for building with "-Os -fweb", "-O3" for building with -O3,
"-O3 -mmx" for ... and so on.

Think about this for a second.  What you are claiming here is that the
output of this bash script can depend upon what CFLAGS bash was built
with:

#!/bin/bash
echo -e "\x48\x65\x6c\x6c\x6f\x20\x57\x6f\x72\x6c\x64\x21"

Admittedly a compiler is many orders of magnitude more complex than
this, but functionally the same.  Only the code and the options passed
to the compiler can effect its output.  Or to put another way, one
could write a C compiler in java, C#, python, or even shell script
that would support the exact same flags as gcc and generate the exact
same code.  They would almost certainly be much, much slower, but the
output would be the same.  It is identical in concept to changing the
flags that _gcc_ is built with...the gcc program itself changes
(hopefully gets faster), but the output remains the same.

I might be a newbie in terms of this list, but this is completely clear

Assuming that the OP doesn't want a broken gcc he will probably be happy 
with -Os for the packages that doesn't break with it... ;)

Being the OP in this case, I want to state that I didn't want "-Os for
all pkgs". I just decided to set "-Os" inside my CFLAGS, and I am
perfectly happy with any working gcc resulting from this.

This isn't only about control, this is also about trust:
I may control which settings to use for any pkg, but then I also have to
trust the decisions of the maintainers which choices they made for
individual pkgs (apart from overriding their settings, which somehow
questions the usage of portage IMO).

In fact, from my point of view, I am *allowed* to trust in this.

the-cloak mostly looks like an ordinary anonymizing proxy to me (except

I'm not sure I understand your request correctly, but have you looked at 
proxytunnel (http://proxytunnel.sf.net)?
It lets you use nearly any service through an SSL-enabled proxy, it's in

If you just want anonimity, try tor.

I'm not sure if get this message right, but if it is a question how to
deal with packets like these:

>curious.ip www.me.com tcp 2286 > netbios-ssn Seq=0 Len=0 MSS=1460
>www.me.com curious.ip tcp netbios-ssn > 2286 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 

the answer is: Add the same rules, but replace "microsoft-ds" with 
"netbios-ssn" or the corresponding number from /etc/services. Those rules would 
look like:
"iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport netbios-ssn -j DROP"
 it's the same as:
"iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 139 -j DROP"

And if the target is not the FW:
iptables -A FORWARD -d *target-PC* -p tcp --dport netbios-ssn -j DROP
or
iptables -A FORWARD -d *target-PC* -p tcp --dport 139 -j DROP


It seems that you want to stop the ms netbios activity. The ports used
for this service are 137,138,139 and 445 so the rule-set could be
something like this:

iptables -A FORWARD -d *target-PC* -p tcp --dport 445 -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -d *target-PC* -p tcp --dport 137:139 -j DROP

or 

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 445 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 137:139 -j DROP

What would break with -Os that wouldn't break with -O2?
I was under the impression that both flags only allowed
changes that didn't affect the output.

A statement quoted above suggested to me that
you were unlikely to get -Os for anything.

AFAI understood the preceeding Richard wrote:

"on gentoo your optimization choices for gcc are ... "

I interpret this as:

emerge gcc with CFLAGS containing -Os
get gcc compiled with -O2

Not "any package", gcc (due to toolchain.eclass ...).

My way of seeing this, corrections welcome.

Earlier in this thread I went -O3, then -O2, now -Os ...
As I stated several times, I learn.

I probably should have explained it better before. If you look at the gcc 
ebuild (/usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-YOUR_VERSION.ebuild) you will note a 
line that says:

inherit toolchain

This inherits the toolchain.eclass for the gcc ebuild. In 
the /usr/portage/eclass/toolchain.eclass you will find the following:

# In general gcc does not like optimization, and add -O2 where
# it is safe.  This is especially true for gcc 3.3 + 3.4
replace-flags -O? -O2

This replaces -Os, -O3 or any other -O? with -O2. But it only applies to 
ebuilds that inherits the toolchain.eclass.

In conclusion in order to find out what packages don't use your CFLAGS you 
will either have to look at the ebuilds and any eclasses that they append or 
simply install it and look at the CFLAGS in the pkg database when it is 
installed:

# grep ^CFLAGS /etc/make.conf
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe"

# cat /var/db/pkg/www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.6/CFLAGS
-march=pentium-m -pipe -Wno-return-type -w -freorder-blocks 
-fno-reorder-functions

As you can see the mozilla-firefox ebuild or any of it's eclasses has stripped 
any -O? CFLAGS entirely...

The following command should show you a complete list of packages that you 
have currently installed but which wasn't installed with your current CFLAGS:

# CFLAGS=$(source /etc/make.conf && echo "${CFLAGS}") ; \
grep -v "${CFLAGS//\-/\\-}" /var/db/pkg/*/*/CFLAGS

I have tried initng several months ago. It rocks. It's several times
faster then the "normal" init. The problem at the time was there were no
scripts for everything I wanted to start automatically. So one day I
figured out that writing scripts and using faster init takes me more
time then using slower init which works with almost no maintenance. This
made me go back to the normal init. I have to say that while using
initng I noticed that many scripts were added for a relatively short
time. It is possible that now there are initng scripts for most of the
services one would ever use, but you have to check it out for yourself.

I can't say a word about "runit", because it's the first time I read
about it.

My next experiment for speeding the boot up will be fcache, but I'm
waiting for a proper mood to try it ( it means: "I'm too lazy" )

Sorry if I wasn't clear.  I'm only referring to the build of gcc itself here.

To try and clarify, when you set CFLAGS in make.conf, you are really
telling portage what you would /like/ to use to build programs.  They
are, in effect, just the default settings.

A particular ebuild is allowed to remove, replace, or even add its own
flags as the maintainer of that package sees fit.  There are many
packages that do this, and gcc is one of them.


What would break with -Os that wouldn't break with -O2?
I was under the impression that both flags only allowed
changes that didn't affect the output.


No, the output *is* allowed to change based on -Os, -O2, or -O3.  This
is the entire point of optimizations, after all.  What is *not*
allowed to change is the ABI.

For example, glibc contains a very freqeuntly used function called
"printf".  Any program that wants to call printf needs to pass it
arguments to tell it what to print.  The method of passing those
arguments and the return value (such as the order of the arguments,
their alignment in memory, how the stack is managed, etc) is known as
an ABI (application binary interface).  And the ABI is not allowed to
change based on CFLAGS, or a program compiled with -O3 could have
trouble calling printf in a glibc compiled with -Os.

Now, the actual implementation of printf...how many processor
registers it uses, the order of the instructions within the function,
whether loops are expanded, how it calculates floating point numbers
(not really applicable to printf..but bear with me) etc...those things
are allowed to be changed by CFLAGS.

So when we talk about optimizations breaking code, we are talking
about the implementation of functions.  With unsafe flags, the
compiler can make bad choices in some cases like trying to use the
result of a calculation before the calculation is made, dereferencing
a memory address before the correct address is actually known, etc.

HTH,
-Richard

In the case of the OP the best approach might be to simply grep for -O3. I at 
least don't have any packages installed that use -O3 when it isn't in the 
CFLAGS.

# emerge --verbose --ask --oneshot \
`grep -l "\-O3" /var/db/pkg/*/*/CFLAGS | cut -d'/' -f5-6 | sed -e

Hi Daniel,

Fcache works, but we didn't see the performance boost that going to initng 
gave. Since it requires it's very own ext3 partition to work, plus a kernel 
patch... we dropped it.  

Using initng is the ticket... Maybe the gentoo devs will directly support it 
or a variant someday...

Cheers, Jerry

A simple search for "evolution icons" in the gentoo forums revealed me this:

There you find the solution I told you before ...

In the bug-entry at bugs.gentoo.org which Richard Fish brought to info you'll 
find an even better solution: 

  echo 'include "/home//.gtkrc.mine"' >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0
  echo 'gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome"' >> ~/.gtkrc.mine

Then it will not be overwritten if you change themes or fonts ...

Thanks, Jerry

I appreciate this info about fcache. Now I have a good idea of what I
have to expect.
I've got some unpartitioned space and nothing prevents me to do some
tests. The only question that I have is how much space does fcache need?

BTW, the "ck-sources", which can be found in the portage comes with
several performance related patches. Emerge automatically applies these
patches and fcache is among them.

Check out catalyst, it is the tool the devs use to build a cd. The .spec 
(config) files are in gentoo's cvs, and probably elsewhere as well. It takes a 
while to build a cd as it installs a system image and then builds the cd from 
that.

You'll need to change the .spec file to get it to build the packages you want. 

You should emerge catalyst with the dos USE flag to get the samples.

There are easier ways to make a custom boot cd, slax springs to mind: 
http://www.slax.org/ However that will not get you the gentoo install packages 
onto the cd. It should get you a bootable cd from which you can do the usual 
gentoo install from.

Don't remove the root one, some packages send emails to their owner, and if 
they are (for example) privileged daemons the message will go to root. It needs 
to be pointed elsewhere.

The others, I am not sure. You probably should have an abuse address and a 
postmaster address, other than that I am not sure what the custom is or what 
the rfc's say about what email accounts are expected in a domain. Don't forget 
that your web server (if you have one) may deliver pages that say to contact a 
certain mail address in the event of problems, obviously that address should be 
available.

I'm pretty sure both of these require configured kernel sources.  They
should have checks for this, but I guess those checks could be
confused.  Does /usr/src/linux point to a configured kernel?  Are you
using the "symlink" use flag?  (which could be the culprit in this
case)
