[gentoo-dev] Re: Proposal for cleaning portage a bit (themes and other eyecandy stuff)
That wastes space. Why would you want to install a theme several times for each user when you can just install it once and have everyone use it?

I at least talked to him about it, the problem is that alsaplayer is a self contained product that nothing else truly fills the shoes of.

thanks mike, you got me started ;)
actually there is plenty of choice here:
gentoo ~ # cat /etc/init.d/dummy
#!/sbin/runscript
start() {
einfo "$(set)"
}
leads to:
gentoo ~ # ls -l /etc/init.d/
.
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root267 Aug 20 17:10 dummy2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Aug 20 17:12 dummy2.v1 -> /etc/init.d/dummy2
.
gentoo ~ # /etc/init.d/dummy2.v1 start
* rc_name is: dummy2.v1
* myservice is: dummy2.v1
* myscript is: /etc/init.d/dummy2.v1
* SVCNAME is: dummy2.v1
* BASH_ARGV[1]: /etc/init.d/dummy2.v1
* BASH_SOURCE[0]: /etc/init.d/dummy2.v1
I'll stick with SVCNAME for now ;)
thanks again,
Paul

Sounds like you want to look at the openvpn or vsftpd init scripts as they allow multiplexing, which I think is what you are after.

I thought I could get the instance name from $0 and use it as a key to
look up the configuration in /etc/conf.d/servicename but $0 is always
/sbin/runscript.sh. The net.xx scripts know the name as ${IFACE} in
start() without doing something obvious... How do I get the name of the
called script in /etc/init.d? Better ideas?
Take a look at the sshd init script.

[gentoo-dev] Reminder about the need to revision bump virtual providers when migrating to new style virtuals
When migrating to new style virtuals you must revision bump everything providing the new style virtual to get rid of the PROVIDE files in /var/db/pkg. ./app-admin/gamin-0.1.7/PROVIDE:virtual/fam If you do not do this, Portage considers the virtual installed without actually looking at the new style virtual. In cases where versioning is not needed this probably does not cause problems but for java this caused problems like the following: # emerge -pu world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies | emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.5".
