[gentoo-dev] package with funny licence
Today I stumbled over a package that has the following funny licence in its file headers: ;; Bozoup(P) 1995 The Bozo(tic) Softwar(e) Founda(t)ion, Inc. ;; See the BOZO Antipasto for further information. ;; If this is useful to you, may you forever be blessed by the Holy Lord ;; Patty. ATT you will. The package was marked as GPL-2 but I think this does not really hit the spot. ;-) Should I add the BOZO Antipasto [1] as a new licence, or is LICENSE=as-is sufficient here?

Re: [gentoo-dev] Nominations open for the Gentoo Council 2007/08
I nominate Wernfried Haas (amne). Based on a thorough and detailed review of Gentoo state-of-affair that we did together over several beers some time ago when he was at Prague, I'm sure he's one of the best candidates for the human, caring part of the Council. Anyone pointing out at any old dirty laundry concerning Wernfried will be slapped to death with an empty beer pint. This is no assault, but rather a simple matter of fact.

[gentoo-dev] Marcus 'cryos' Hanwell's talk about Gentoo and KDE at aKademy 2007
Hello! Marcus cryos Hanwell gave a talk on Gentoo and KDE on Sunday at aKademy 2007. Marcus presented the current state of KDE in Gentoo, our current headaches and questions as well as what we hope for or expect for the future. I rarely enjoy taped presentations but this one was entertaining *and* interesting as he changed the slides he had sent to the KDE herd before in the last minute, it seems. And only for the better. :-) Marcus, no need to worry about your talk being preserved for eternity on the net - personally, I really liked it and think you did very well. So I'll be sure to keep my copy. :-) I would like to thank you very much for doing it. You'll find the recording of Marcus' talk at http://akademy2007.kde.org/conference/programme.php Scroll down to the bottom, second last talk on the left. The video is linked there. But beware - 107 MB. :-) For the brave, here's the *direct* link (again 107 MB!): http://home.kde.org/~akademy07/videos/1-21-Gentoo_KDE.ogg I'm sure they'll put up the slides themselves up soon, too. Or maybe Marcus will put up the final version somewhere soon. Best regards, Wulf signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I think the problem is that fontconfig has freetype not just in RDEPEND but also DEPEND Doh. You're right of course. P.S. I think the solution with PDEPEND is wrong for bug 179736. If I understand it correctly, then freetype-2.2 doesn't NEED =fontconfig-2.4, but, if installed, will crash older versions. Then there should be a blocker on fontconfig-2.4 in freetype. I think portage handles that correctly since some point. And if not, it should :) I'm a firm believer that blockers absolutely suck and should be avoided at all costs. But in this case I don't see another way around it, since while playing around just now I discovered another way to break the depgraph with the current PDEPEND. Thanks for the advice. :) -- dirtyepic salesman said this vacuum's guaranteed gentoo org it could suck an ancient virus from the sea 9B81 6C9F E791 83BB 3AB3 5B2D E625 A073 8379 37E8 (0x837937E8) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'd like to nominate: vapier tsunam nightmorph seemant avenj christel Although most of them will probably decline, I think they would do an excellent job straightening out Gentoo's heading and have the barnacles to perform the requisite keelhauling.
