Out of interest:
1) Why --duplicates (i.e. am I missing something ;).
No idea, I wrote the script a couple of years ago, if I'd wanted to
remember how it worked I'd have commented it. :) It was never intended
for per review, just a quick hack top free up some disk space.
I originally used qpkg, but you're right that equery doesn't need
--duplicates.
2) Why the awk? Is there ever more than one column without --no-pipe ?
I don't think so, but it doesn't hurt to leave it in. I used awk
because the terminal output adds extra fields and I possibly didn't even
bother to check whether they were still there when using a pipe.

Moreover, it looks like Thunar might be using mtools behind the scenes.

Re: [gentoo-user] How can I know which package needs to upgrade without using emerge --sync?
Well, when I started with Gentoo Linux almost a year ago, I emerged --sync more than twice per week. I never experimented any damage or error. However, I do not advise people to do it so frequently just because they will not find updated versions of their favorite packages as often as I thought initially. Today I emerge --sync once every week. Now I advise people to keep their systems synced at least once a month, not because their machine necessarily needs to, but because after much time with no emerging --sync, you'd see your computers spending one or two days downloading and compiling the updated packages, and that is really annoying. Here is a suggestion to have painless updates: emerge --sync emerge --update --deep world the --deep flag will ensure a throughly revision of dependencies. How can I know whether I really need a sync and upgrade my system if a new kernel or glibc is released? There are several guidelines no one really invented, but may be handy: o Whenever you find a bug in your favorite programs, there will be a big chance they are fixed in the latest versions; o Whenever you navigate a forum or post in a mailing list asking for help with your favorite programs, there is a low-to-moderate chance you get the answer That only works with version x.x.x or above or so o From time to time, new programs are added to the Portage tree and someday you will find yourself wanting to give a try to a program you do not have in your machines' tree. o If you need to have your machine secured against vulnerabilities, you definitely need to emerge --sync every two weeks at least. o When a new kernel version is released, there is no need to update everything. Actually, what I remember is that I just emerge the new kernel version, compile and reboot. o When a new glibc version is released, there is a number of packages directly depending on it being updated, but no so many. So this one is not really a guideline. Sascha's method is easier. Credits to her. Sincerely, -- Fabio A. Correa D.

I have a system here that rsyncs with three other computers every hour and the disk is still good after several years, so the traffic from a paltry portage sync should do nothing but give the disk a little healthy exercise. I like this theory. I think bad blocks on HD's (and I guess noone here is talking about flash disks or writable DVD media) occur almost independent of usage. So if bad blocks occur, there might be a big chance that it happens in a portage sync simply because there's a lot of file writing/deleting and thus there's a bigger chance that it happens in that moments. If that was true, it is likely that the errors hit portage's files with a probability that corresponds to the percentage of sync (and due to the test: emerge) I/O vs. general IO. On a gentoo system, there's probably a lot of disk I/O simply because of portage. This might explain why there's that feeling that a sync might hurt. And, the good side of things: If this theory holds valid, the errors are likely to hit portage -- not all that bad, a resync and everything's fine again :-) The harddisk will cure the problem by allocating spare sectors (as long as available). -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Packet Shaping
Hello, I have packet shaping set up on my Gentoo router with iptables, shorewall, and The Wonder Shaper which is a /etc/shorewall/tcstart file. It seems to be working since internet radio is now full of hiccups. :) I'd like to configure it to prioritize voip, ssh, web browsing, bittorrent downloads, and bittorrent uploads in that order. I'm using these docs: http://www.shorewall.net/2.0/traffic_shaping.htm http://lartc.org/wondershaper/ since this doesn't include shorewall config info: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Packet_Shaping Is anyone else using The Wonder Shaper?

Furthermore, rsync is just another program, accessing the hard drive in the same old way, and isn't a very effective way of breaking hard drives. Anyway, if you're worried about your hard drive, try setting it up to spin down frequently with hdparm when not in use.
