I think expressing my own opinion about Lennart-made software is my right, after all. Firstly, it's almost impossible nowadays to avoid including avahi, systemd and pulseaudio into a desktop distro so, there is no real choice. This issue became a sensible matter for those users who for instance, wa

[gentoo-dev] updated path for arm ldso hardfp

2012-05-09 Thread Mike Frysinger
if you're not using arm, or you're using softfp, then feel free to stop reading i've backported the patches from upstream gcc/glibc to use the new ldso paths for arm hardfp targets. atm, this is in glibc-2.15 and gcc-4.5.3 and gcc-4.6.3. so if you have one of these systems where you're runnin

Hi, Here I attach a version that removes the eclass use. I then replaced a "eqmake4" for "qmake". I don't know if there is a better solution, but at least removes the deprecated eclass and hopefully the mask (the live ebuild is newer). Best regards, Natanael. El 05/02/2012 11:24 PM, Davide Pesa

I foresee a new udev fork then. If udev is going to end up like avahi is, this is *highly* probable. With "avahi is ..." I actually mean, one single tarball blob depending on the whole world and its solar system and galaxy. Please stop throwing lennartware at people. FailAudio has been enough, th

our glibc versions long ago stopped working with linux-2.4 due to NPTL being required. further, we've long set the min kernel version to 2.6.9 in the ebuild itself. so bumping it to 2.6.16 isn't a stretch. the driving force here is that glibc upstream is looking to set the min kernel version
