it is possible to produce a static build and/or whether there is a
clear path provided for the retention of legacy packages?
Thank you,

For the last week or so, there have been packages in the world
distribution list which previously installed fine which currently do not,
these include ruby-gdkpixbuf2, ruby-pango, ruby-gtk2, ruby-gnomecanvas2,
ruby-gnome2 and ruby-libglade2 (this is on an x86 system). My reading of
the bug
I am not sure whether init and/or who are part of openrc -- but it is worth
noting that who -b which is supposed to produce the system boot time still
appears to be broken. I believe I filed a bug report about this around the
time of the late 2008 or early 2009 updates to openrc and I believe the
I believe QA is important from the perspective that you want to assure that
the ebuilds work. Nothing makes a casual user more annoyed that having an
emerge for his machine fail to work. But if you are running the emerges
unconstrained (e.g. you specify them in the keywords file) then you are
I commonly run:
emerge --pretend --update --verbose --deep --newuse world

I need to re-emerge.
I've noticed recently (in the last 1-2 weeks) that it seems to be taking a
very long time. The one I've got running now has

I agree with Wyatt's point.
Wouldn't there be an easy way to reset the last access date on all of the
files to say 1/1/2009 on a system then execute a relatively robust
multi-user boot (and maybe a world emerge upgrade) and record which files
are actually used during that process, then determine

But there's one... That what the system set is about in first place. We
could argue if creating a new category would be any good or not, that's a
different issue. But there's already a list of packages that's considered
critical for a Gentoo
-libs state is highly
desirable as well.
I note, because I happen to have it handy, that Ubuntu, as installed is
almost completely in a -static-libs state with the exception of glibc
(i.e. only 20 .a files in /usr/lib).
