[gentoo-dev] Bug wrangling

2008-05-12 Thread Christian Faulhammer
Hi, please be careful when assigning new bugs. Today I changed several bugs where the wrong maintainer was used or where the main maintainer has been forgotten. This only occured since we have no full-time bug-wrangler anymore. Was anyone successful to contact him, yet? V-Li -- Christian

[gentoo-dev] LaTeX documentation

2008-05-12 Thread Andrey Grozin
Hello *, Many packages have documentation in LaTeX, and latex is being run (often when USE=doc). This may cause a sandbox violation, if a font not yet generated on this particular computer is encountered: latex calls metafont to generate it, and metafont wants to write it to /var/cache/fonts

Hi, There are two methods commonly used to fight against this situation in ebuilds: using addwrite or setting VARTEXFONTS=${T}/fonts. The second method is, probably, better. Packages should definitely go for the VARTEXFONTS one as I'll probably drop forced global writable /var/cache/fonts at
