I may not have interpreted your message correctly. If I inferred something from it that you didn't intend to convey, please clarify. Developing the Portage software itself is an entirely different process than creating an ebuild: unless you're planning to contribute enhancement code to Gentoolkit or Portage, they're just a set of tools for package development and management. In order to create an ebuild, you need to know what package you /want/ to bring into the tree. Randomly submitting ebuilds that will shortly thereafter be without a home is only a recipe for neglected packages. -- Anthony Gorecki Ectro-Linux Foundation -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-dev] looking for mentor
Hello guys, I've been using gentoo for 2 years now and I'm really found of this distrobution , never touched an other distro since then. Lately I've been creating some small probably meaningless ebuilds for several packages like tinyscheme and adding some bug reports etc .. I'm also looking into gentoolkit , already had some contact about that with karltk. Now as you can see I'm getting involved and somewhere in the holy gentoo developers handbook I read that a new developer should have mentor .. Short info about me: I'm 20 years old, live in Belgium meanly Brussels, still a college student. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-dev] Hi guys !!
I think wxMaxima came up on the gentoo-science list; there may already be a request for an ebuild and someone may even have done it. Meanwhile, ordinary Maxima, including the standard X interface, is already in Portage. So are emacs, xemacs and texmacs, all of which provide a user-friendly interface to Maxima. I personally use it from texmacs, because it formats the results in highly-readable mathematical form, rather than the "ASCII art" format of conventional Maxima. Will wxMaxima do that?

[gentoo-dev] Hi guys !!
Hi !! How are you all ? I've been using Gentoo for a couple of months and I really like it. I've been working little hard for Debian until now, for 2 years more or less, but it is a very slow-motion distribution, and I like the agility that Gentoo has. I'm studying Computer Science in Madrid (Spain), and I've to sit for my final exams. What a surprise when I had to study Algebra and I couldn't find wxMaxima in Portage... Well, I want to know how to make ebuilds (please if you could send me the web site that explains it), but the main reason because I write here is that I suggest you to make an ebuild for wxmaxima: http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.net, there is the source-code and I have read somewhere that is GPL licensed, so there won't be any legal troubles.

[gentoo-dev] media-sound/emu10k1 facing removal
Hi, media-sound/emu10k1 is being considered for removal. It provides audio drivers for Linux 2.4 for emu10k1 chips (SB live, audigy, etc). Upstream is dead since 2002 and the ALSA drivers are much better. 2.4 users can alternatively use the in-kernel emu10k1 drivers (unmaintained), or they can install the alsa-driver package (recommended) which is actively developed and is higher quality than emu10k1 anyway.

I've been running the 1.11.x series since .8 with no problems (except the
parallel thing that was mentioned before). Good work!
I just wanted to share some of the coolness of the new scripts:
Let's say you have a wireless network that uses BlueSocket login. It's rather
annoying to have to load a web browser before you can start using the
connection. I wrote a little perl script to submit the form and call it from
postup(). (Email me if you want the script.)
A second bit of logic I added to postup() was to merge the settings from my
wireless card into the bonding interface. This works as follows:
local ESSID=$( wireless_get_essid eth1 )
if [ "${IFACE}" == "bond0" ] ; then
echo "ESSID: $ESSID"
if [ -z "$(eval echo \${config_${ESSID}})" ] ||
[ "$(eval echo \${config_${ESSID}})" == "dhcp" ] ; then
dhcpcd -t 5 bond0
else
echo $(eval echo "\${config_${ESSID}}")
ifconfig ${IFACE} $(eval echo "\${config_${ESSID}}")
(route -n | grep -q "^0.0.0.0") && route del default
route add $(eval echo "\${routes_${ESSID}}")
fi
fi
Note that I also have these lines for the bond0 interface:
slaves_bond0="eth0 eth1"
config_bond0=( "null" ) # I'll configure this later
The astute reader will notice that I got a little lazy and didn't use the
dhcpcd_xxx variables for that condition, but that wouldn't be too hard to hack
in there.
The end result of this is I can seemlessly go back and forth between the wired
and wireless worlds without losing network connections. It's great to be on
wireless, start a download, plug into the wired, and then get an immediate speed
boost!
Here's another hint for wireless users: Test your card's ability to respond to
iwconfig txpower commands. Then put whatever the max value is into
the /etc/conf.d/wireless preassociate() function. This should have a noticable
effect on your ability to connect to networks.
Thanks for making this all this possible!
--Kevin
