[gentoo-dev] euscan proof of concept (like debian's uscan)

2011-03-21 Thread Corentin Chary
Hi, I recently started working on a small gentoo utility named euscan (for Ebuild Upstream Scan) For those who don't know debian's uscan, it allows to scan upstream for new versions. It's used by packages.qa.debian.org (example: http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/php-net-ipv4.html ). It's available

[gentoo-dev] masking mailwrapper

2011-03-21 Thread Eray Aslan
Only virtual/mta remains as an old style virtual in the net-mail herd. I will be changing it to a new style virtual in a few days. While at it, I would like to get rid of mailwrapper USE flag and finally mask net-mail/mailwrapper for removal - bug #158003. If there are any objections, hold

During closer investigation I found that it alos changes data width and similar. probably something which should be checked during configure. I attached some code as example: from configure: AC_ARG_ENABLE(64, AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-64], [64 bit pointers])) if test ${enable_64} = yes ;

[gentoo-dev] FEATURES=test, sys-devel/gcc ignored test failures

2011-03-21 Thread Paweł Hajdan, Jr.
sys-devel/gcc runs tests, but the results are ignored and I remember the tests fail most of the time. Because the tests take long time to run and fail anyway (I understand it's non-trivial to fix those on Gentoo side), I wonder whether it makes sense to run them at all: toolchain.eclass:

[gentoo-dev] How a new ARCH is added to Gentoo?

Hi, Is there any article that elaborate my question? My aim is to explain, why Gentoo is much more agile then any other binary distribution when hopping between arches. Lets say we started development on x86, then we want to move to another arch, or a totally new arch. I would like to know the

Excerpts from Paweł Hajdan, Jr.'s message of Mon Mar 21 13:07:33 +0100 2011: My suggestion is to make the src_test empty (I think the default one still calls make). I can produce a patch if needed. What do you think? Maybe restrict? https://bugs.gentoo.org/298014 -- Amadeusz Żołnowski PGP
